DS9

You've gotten plastered for Star Trek, you've gotten wrecked sipping every time Picard adjusted his shirt, and now you've got yet another excuse to drink beer: the "Deep Space 9" drinking game. Like the ST and ST:TNG games, a drink is taken for common events that are part of the show, such as Kirk always kissing the (alien) girl, Worf getting beat up, etc . Some fans start to look forward to these events. Just so I don't get blamed for somebody spewing, it's recommended that you use shots or small gulps of beer or a mixed drink when you take a drink. You may want to have some harder stuff for special events mentioned below, or chug a whole beer as suggested.

Before the show starts, everyone picks a character. Everytime the character you picked gets into a confrontation, conflict, or fight, take a drink.

    Plus take a drink whenever:

  • Something isn't working properly on the station
  • Anyone says 'DS9' as the name of the space station
  • Violence breaks out on the promenade ring
  • The wormhole is shown/opens (this includes the opening credits)
  • The station is shown from outside
  • The 'cog' airlocks are used/operated
  • Any door is seen opened manually (if it's a 'cog', take two)
  • Somebody mentions Bjor (only one drink per line; any number during the scene)
  • Sisko threatens somebody
  • Someone hits on Dax
  • Odo is puzzled by humanoid behavior
  • The Cardasian spy uses clothing as a euphemism for something else
  • Dr. Bashir suggests something patently unwise

    And then take a drink AND do an action everytime:

  • Someone rides the elevator to/from the control room
    Action: Say "going up?" or "going down?"

  • A shuttlecraft is shown
    Action: Guess the name of the craft out loud

  • Odo shapeshifts
    Action: Say "Jell-O!"

  • O'Brien uses the transporters
    Action: Nostalgic sigh

  • Jake Sisko gets in trouble
    Action: Say "Kids these days!"

  • Kira has a case of divided loyalties
    Action: Put a drink in each hand and have a drink from both

  • Quark is seen behind the bar
    Action: Take a second drink, or have a shot of something stronger

    Plus, chug a whole drink when and if:

  • Someone from Star Trek: The Next Generation makes an appearance. (Members of the O'Brien family don't count, but secondary characters and extras if you can identify them count.)
  • Sisko backs down or knuckles under to someone else
  • Odo does something intentionally humorous
  • Dr. Bashir does something clever not related to medicine.
  • Dax gets into an amorous (sexual) encounter
  • O'Brien is asked to jury-rig something to save the day and it doesn't work
  • Quark does something selfless

An average one hour episode consumes three beers per participant.
