HBO’s juggernaut Game of Thrones is returning to TV this weekend with a much-anticipated fourth season premiere on Sunday night at 9 p.m. And while there’s plenty of blood, guts and naked women to be excited about, when it comes to drinking and GoT there’s only one golden rule: when the characters drink, you drink.
And if you follow said golden rule for this week’s episode—King Joffrey’s long overdue wedding to Margaery Tyrell—then you will be nursing a massive hangover come Monday morning.
That’s right the next big wedding , the Purple Wedding, is upon us.
Time to drink up.
One drink for each:
-
New character introduced
-
Character being held captive
-
“Hodor!”
-
Reference to the Red Wedding
-
Switch to a new kingdom
-
Sansa Stark emotional breakdown
-
Ludicrous and over-the-top demand of King Joffrey (unnecessary torture included!)
-
Mention of Jaime Lannister’s cut-off hand
-
Time Brienne of Tarth does something manly
-
Pair of boobs on screen (has to be a full pair, not just a side boob)
- Time a character drinks
Two drinks for each:
-
Banter between The Hound and Ayra
-
Littlefinger swindle or deception (essentially every time Littlefinger appears)
-
Moment Cersei Lannister acts like a bitch
-
Scene where Stannis Baratheon threatens to do something but does nothing
-
Plot twist involving Bran Stark and his crew
-
Time Jon Snow defies somebody’s order

-
Death of a main character
-

Finish your drink if:
-
Danny’s dragons kill somebody (doesn’t matter how)
-
Danny gets naked
-
A child is murdered or pushed out a window
Shotgun your beer if:
-
A character is held captive, tortured and has his penis removed in excruciating fashion, ala Theon Greyjoy last season
Enjoy!
