Sweeney Todd Drinking Game

All right, I confess, my friends and I are theatre people, which is not to say that we're the crazies who sing in public (not that there's anything wrong with that if you are one, which is likely if you searched Sweeney Todd Drinking Game), but we do perform, and love musical movies (Mamma Mia drinking game coming soon)!

So here's one of our favorite movie drinking games. Like Harry Potter, we eventually got drunk and distracted and never finished the movie, but we were plenty drunk enough to enjoy the rest of the night. Also, we skipped some of the dryer parts at the beginning of the movie (No Place Like London is not a fun song to drink to.)

Here it is, our rendition of the Sweeney Todd Drinking Game!

Take a drink when...

Someone starts singing a new song (or a reprise)

Song lyrics contain swear words

Someone eats or drinks

Someone is killed

Bright colors

You can see Sacha Baron Cohen’s bulge through his pants

Someone says "shave"

You see a cane

You see a razor

You see a cockroach

Someone says, "Benjamin Barker"

Now, there were a few on the website where we found this game that seemed like plausible times to drink, such as hearing the name Sweeney Todd, or Joanna. However, if you drink every time you hear the name Joanna, you would drink 19 times, just in the song Joanna. So for our poor livers sakes, we opted to take those rules out, but if you think you can handle it, feel free to try them out (though I don't recommend it!)

Anyway, enjoy the game!

Harry Potter Drinking Game

All right, this is the Harry Potter Drinking Game, which can be played with any of the movies! We played with the 6th movie (sips, no shots!) and about halfway through we decided that we were drunk enough and didn't feel like finishing the movie (that actually happens a lot for us) but I hope you have as much fun with it as we did!

Drink every time...

The full name "Harry Potter" is spoken. Extra swig if the person is addressing Harry and acting astonished while speaking.
Hermione gets angry.

Twins speak in unison.
Hagrid cries.
The word "brilliant" is uttered.
Points are awarded to any house.

Points are taken away from any house.
Ron makes his wide-eyed, wide-mouthed "Home Alone" expression.
Snape appears unexpectedly in a scary way.
Mrs. Norris (cat) appears.
Malfoy taunts somebody. Extra swig if he looks at his cronies for approval afterward.
An elder issues some kind of stern warning.
Dumbledore lets on that he knows some kind of secret he's too wise to talk about.

Anyone says, "chosen one"

Movie Drinking Games

So what do you do when you're not feeling up for a night out but being sober just isn't going to cut it? I have these nights all of the time, when hitting the bars or the house parties is just too much to handle. To spice up a night of dorm drinking, my friends and I love movie drinking games. Instead of shots, we make mixed drinks (usually burnetts flavored vodka and assorted sodas) and watch movies on our laptops, drinking whenever characters say certain words, or do certain actions. We pick our favorite movies and search for the drinking game ideas online, but the ones online usually include too many options, and if we followed all of their rules, we'd be dead before we could finish the movies, so we edit them ourselves.

For your convenience, I'll post some of our recent favorites (our edited, more realistic versions) on here, as well as links to the originals.

Hope you enjoy!

The end of the beginning.

Well, I am just wrapping up my freshman year at The Catholic University of America in Washington DC, and whilst sitting with my friends in the Pryz (Short for the Edward J. Pryzbla Center, a.k.a. our cafeteria) and remembering our crazy year, I decided it might be fun to start a blog. Don't worry, this isn't just going to be me talking about my drunken escapades, or boy troubles, and it certainly won't be about my emotions. This is going to be full of advice, and I don't mean budget-your-time-and-money kind of advice. This is straight up, honest and sincere advice about the things that you really want to know about. Like, what tastes good mixed with cheap vodka? How do i survive college food without going broke? How do I not get caught drinking?

From there, I'm just going to go with the flow. When I learn something new and useful, or just plain fun, I'll post about it, and hope it keeps your interest!

So here's my plan for the next couple of weeks, since I'm almost done with school for the semester. I'm going to start with a few posts about my favorite experiences from this year. Fun drinking games, places to go to in DC, a bit about the Pryz, our lovely cafeteria, and a few what-not-to-do's, which should get me to the end of the semester. For the summer, I will either take a break or update on summer experiences that may interest you, and then pick up again with the real gritty stuff in September when school starts again.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Yours Truly,

Courtney :)
