For students who watch TV all day and drink all night, now you can combine the two! Make your favorite shows even more fun with these five interactive and inebriating drinking games.
“Breaking Bad”
“Breaking Bad’s” characters are so captivating that you often find yourself rooting for them when you shouldn’t. Sometimes the anxiety over the characters can make the show less enjoyable, but there’s no time to have an internal crisis for the characters when goddamned “Breaking Bad” is going on. We’re all worried about Jesse Pinkman, too. Don’t worry. To ease your worried mind, here are some drinking games on repetitive and fun character qualities.
Drink every time:
- Someone says “Heisenberg”
- Walt gets into a fight
- Marie wears something purple
- Walt stares at something with his mouth agape
Finish your drink if:
- Walt lies
- Crystal meth appears
- Money appears
- Someone cries
- Someone gets shot
- Junior eats breakfast
“Parks and Recreation”
“Parks and Recreation” may not be the most dramatic show on television, but with Aubrey Plaza’s deadpan humor and Ron Swanson’s quirky habits and one-liners, there is definitely plenty of drinking material here.
Drink every time:
- Leslie comes up with a “new idea”
- April says something negative
- Ron Swanson raises an eyebrow
- Ron Swanson boasts about how America is the best
- Ben hates his life
Finish your drink if:
- Leslie’s idea gets rejected
- Ann complains about her love life
- Someone makes fun of Jerry
“Adventure Time”
“Adventure Time” has enraptured child and adult audiences alike, with its viewership reaching the millions in the course of its five seasons. For the of-age lovers of all things mathematical and imaginative, we have compiled the gems from several drinking games so they can get their Adventure on:
Smoke every time:
- Jake changes shape
- A math term is used
- “Glob” or “lump” is used as a curse word substitute
- The waving snail makes an appearance
- Finn draws any of his swords
- They sing
- You start getting the feels for Ice King and Marceline (drown your sorrows, my friends, drown them)
- Any character refuses to adhere to a patriarchal, sexual or gender norm. Yeah progressive cartoons!
“The Walking Dead”
Following the huge success of the original graphic novels, the television serialization of “The Walking Dead” has not only met that success but also surpassed it, pulling together fans of the original comics and newcomers who otherwise would have missed the suspense, drama and zombie-splattering action that the comics offer. So before the zombie apocalypse arrives, enjoy everyone’s favorite undead series by getting zombie-fied with this drinking game.

“Dexter”
This summer, the eighth and final season of “Dexter” premiered to millions of fans anxious to see their favorite blood splatter analysis slash serial killer, Dexter Morgan, in action. In order to truly enjoy the last few episodes of the Emmy-winning Showtime hit, instead of wallowing away in sadness that your favorite show is ending, here is a “Dexter” drinking game for you and your friends.
Drink every time:
