Wow, so I was doing a late-night Google search for a VM drinking game, and guess what? Nada! I've never started a topic before, so ::hope::. (I searched the forums, and it looks as though this is okay for a thread.)

ETA outoffashion's point and a couple others

That game is almost as awesome as my Spice World drinking game.

My roommate and I are already planning to play it for the rest of the season-well done!

You forgot to add Veronica's suggestion (heh)...

"Like I take a shot when anyone asks for my help"

You'll probably be drunk by the end of Silence of the Lamb.

Doesn't a shot count as 1 sip of any other drink? Or is that only in my family, or as Betty Ford calls us, 'The Providers'?

Shot is a sip, or as Kelmette16 is putting it as a drink.

Ugh. Double posting in my own thread? that's low.

You're right about that (sips/shots/drinks), but feel free to interpret at will. "Drinks" is just way simpler to write. (I suggest we use that term in this thread)

Take them or leave them, here are my suggestions...

• A school locker is searched - 1 drink
• A school locker is searched and Veronica is suprised - 2 drinks!
• Backup attacks someone - 2 drinks
• A gun is actually fired - 2 drinks
• A Veronica Mars Voiceover is cut short - 3 drinks!
• We find out who Veronica's biological father is - 2 drinks
• It's Keith - 1 toast to the TV
• It's Jake - 2 drinks
• It's Haaron - spit-take
• Logan raped Veronica - An Ecolls Family Christmas style swig from the bottle and clear your weekly calander for group therapy on the forums.

• It's Lamb - projectile vomit

Lamb fucks faces, not women.

• It's Vincent Vanlowe (a.k.a. Gonzo) - Speed dial 911 to get cardiac team to Couch Baron ASAP. Then proceed to drown yourself in booze.

This game sounds awesome, I'll definately have to try it some night. During reruns. No way am I going to drink myself off the couch for these last episodes! I don't wanna miss a thing.

On Veronica's father....

~ It's the vice principal - chug from the bottle... actually, scratch that, that's probably what got Lianne into her "who's my baby's daddy" trouble.

Here are some rules for the commercial breaks:

A promo for Kevin Hill - 1 drink
A promo for America's Next Top Model - 1 drink
A promo for The Road to Stardom (that's what it's called, right?) - 1 drink

That ad for Old Navy Tunics comes on - Get up, dance around, sing the correct lyrics to the song, curse the commercial gods for ruining songs in commercials, then chug a beer.

Got approved for the forum, just in time for a new episode!
Wanted my first post to be in the drinking game thread.

Logan punches someone - 1 drink
Someone else punches someone - 2 drinks

Logan gets punched- 1 drink and a tear of sympathy
Logan gets hit with a belt by Aaron- 2 drinks and a flood of curses towards Echolls senior

ETA tjl's comment. Right you are, tjl.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one annoyed by that ad. Spacecow, shouldn't the second one be Logan gets hit with a belt by Aaron?

Dude, color me completely shocked that no one's sad:

-Veronica has a new hairstyle: 1 drink!

Dude, totally. Although I am ashamed to admit I completely covet those tunics.

Topic? I'll be at a party tonight instead of watching the episode, so I'll totally be drinking for every favor/hairstyle/etc.

*Veronica takes a picture
*Veronica looks up info on that database

Slayer Kitty, that's great to do, go right ahead. It's good to get them all together - thanks!

TWoP shout-out: 15 drinks, because we deserve it

Welcome, Kelmette. :)

Hey guys, hope you had your glasses poised last night, cause we got quite a few hits:
Cliff! - 1 drink
Someone calls Veronica "V" (also Cliff!) - 1 drink
Since we fulfilled 2 in 1, I reward the forum with.... 1 drink!

Veronica goes off on an 09er (does Tad count?) - 1 drink!
Somebody says "Veronica Mars" (like, 3 times) - 1 drink!

Logan snarks....to Veronica....and then they make out - I'm calling that a cumulative 3 drinks and one dreamy sigh
Veronica has a new cell phone - 1 drink

New additons: Someone figures out Veronica is working against them, yet can't do a damn thing about it - 1 drink!
Techno/academic babble speech that actually makes perfect sense - 2 drinks! (Yay, Physics)

Also as someone with a more keener eye than me posted on the episode thread:

V without her choker for most of the ep - 2 drinks
Lots of sipping for continuity as well.

A commercial for the new Britney Spears reality show - 1 drink and throw the glass at the TV.

Something heartbreaking happens - Chug and sob into your drink.

Episode ends with a... dun dun dun... cliffhanger! - chug the bottle and report immediately to the TWoP VM Forums

Er let's say a sip per event. If you take a sip PER photo you'll run out in some episodes.

Take a sip when:
Veronica is snarky

Take two sips when:
Somebody refers to the 80s
Somebody refers to the 90s
Somebody makes a current pop culture remark (i.e. "Like Paris Hilton or the Star Wars kid?")

SWEET.

Also: I think if we drink everytime there is a pop culture reference, we won't be able to remember the end of the episode. Which would be very, very sad.

My biggest pet peeve:
Logan wears some ridiculously fugly/BIG shirt or jacket that just makes him look way pudgy, which JD so doesn't deserve. (Or, to put it another way: The costume department forgets exactly how much...talent they have to work with here!) -- Down your drink, shake your fist at the TV, and go play "An Echoll's Family Christmas" frame. by. frame.


Heh. This just made me laugh (see below scenario)

Your friendly VM forum PSA:
"So who killed Lilly Kane? Who did we find out the murderer was?"
"I DON'T KNOW! Wah! There was so much continuity and snark, I passed out before the reveal!"
So people, when it comes to pop-culture and continuity, please drink responsibly. Don't let this happen to you.

Aw, I'm so sad! I don't think I've ever wanted to participate in a drinking game so badly, and I still have 24+ weeks of pregnancy to go before I can join in! Damn it! You guys are too funny...

Here's another - everytime Veronica says something naive about her mom coming home: 1 drink

Hey, cordygirl, don't worry. Just use Kool-Aid or something!

cordygirl, I did the drinking game during the last episode, but used M'n'M's instead, and ate one for every drink. I always felt that drinking games were adaptable, and that you don't have to drink alcohol (or even drink) to participate.

Hee! Fans don't let fans watch the finale drunk.

- One of the main cast wears a repeat outfit (Con!Yay!) - 1 drink
(Variation on above - Wallace wears something OTHER than that green and yellow Neptune tracksuit - 1 drink)
- We see the bugged panda bear pencil sharpener - 2 drinks
- You recognize wonderwilma in the background - chug!

I say watch the episode once without the drinking game, then watch it again and play the game. That way you can pay attention to all the drinking cues, and NOT be so drunk that you miss out on any plot points the first time around.
Of course, if you are like me and underage, or can't drink for some other reason (pregnancies, etc.), you can just pretend.

Yay! I get my own drink mention!

Yeah, I know it's adaptable, and yeah, Kool-Aid or Gatorade or any other kind of
-aid would work, but half the fun is getting toasted during Veronica Mars and laughing even harder at all the funny (and even, not so funny) parts! But I will give it a go with something else and let you guys know how it was. OR, I will stay obssessed until this baby is born and go back and watch an old ep as soon as I can drink alcohol and then get tossed. Or both!

Take 2 drinks when Rob Thomas makes us think Logan might be bad and a player, but then fakes us out and he's not

Then, chug and drown your sorrows - in Gatorade if you like - for the one (hypothetical!) time that he doesn't. And Logan is really, truly...bad.

Hey, that hasn't been proven. I refuse to believe Logan hasn't been completely sincere until I see it on my TV screen!

And if I'm wrong, you can all throw your drinks at me as I sit in the corner and cry.

I'll be in the corner with jacedes, drinking straight from the bottle.

Okay, so I'm rummaging through this thread, and guys? I really, really, really hope y'all didn't follow our drinking game to the letter last night. Like, once per incident - bad! Because I don't want to be responsible for an increase in alchohol-poisoning hospital visits this week. Let's see what we've got:

Veronica cries - 3 drinks
Veronica looks extremely adorable and extremely scary at the same time - 1 drinks
Veronica goes off on an 09er - 1 drink!
The 09er does anything but wet his/her pants - 1 drink!
(sorry, Shawn, you kind of did. Watch that eye twitch!)

Logan snarks - 1 drink

Weevil rides...a motorcycle - 1 drink
Veronica rides a motorcycle - 3 drinks!

Continuity, Yay! - 1 tiny sip (or else you'll be passed out before finishing the ep)

Someone on the show drinks: Two drinks
Someone on the show is t-totally trashed: Three drinks

Weevil looks at Logan's lips when they're fighting: 1 drink

V without her choker for most of the ep - 2 drinks (it was a different black choker)

New additions:
Veronica undercover - 1 drink
Complete with costume - 2 drinks and hum the Alias theme song

Teddy Dunn acts - impressively - 2 drinks!

Adding to the tiny drinks for Continuity: A previous episode character shows up in another episode - 2 drinks! (And yes, if you had followed this last night - nice knowing ya. Because that? Was Con[tinuity]Character heaven)

By the way, personally I think the best strategy is watch the episode sober when it airs, if possible, and then on multiple rewatchings, Cheers! It's really fun to do the early episodes.

You forgot:

You recognize wonderwilma in the background - chug!
