Here's how you play.

Put one of your 'Buffy' collection tapes in the VCR and make sure it's at the beginning. You should now be good for 6 hours worth of Buffy entertainment Take a bottle of your favorite beverage (soda, right?) and sit down on your couch in front of the TV with a bunch of friends. Each of you take only ONE page of the drinking game. Whenever something happens onscreen that is listed on your sheet, take a drink.

(A much quicker and far more suicidal version of this game is when, instead of following only your own sheet, each person calls out every time something on the list comes up. This is often referred to as 'the lemming version' of the game, and is probably only good for one or two episodes at most.)

When the tape runs out and the lights come up, anyone who is able to stand up straight is a winner. There might be more than one of you, but it probably won't be a problem given that by this stage it is doubtful that you will retain the ability to count. On the plus side, even episodes that you've seen twenty thousand times will take on new meaning when playing this game.

Ready? Of course you're not! Go ahead, and have fun!
