On a cold winter's eve, as we settled in to view the American classic "It's A Wonderful Life," we discovered to our great dismay that no drinking game could be found for the film. We pledged to make one up as we went along.
Merry Christmas, Internet.
Drink every time:
1) Someone says Merry (or Mary)
2) The moon is shown or mentioned
3) A reference is made to Tom Sawyer (drink twice)
4) Any date is mentioned
5) Someone says "Hot dog!"
6) Someone refers to their father
7) Someone says "hand job" (finish your drink)
8) Jimmy Stewart has a good one-liner or insult
9) "This is a very interesting situation"
10) A black person or crow is shown
11) Someone wears a pie as a hat
12) Any musical cue for "Buffalo Gals" is heard
13) Someone winks
14) Bert and Ernie are mentioned in the same sentence
15) Someone refers to Zuzu's petals
Play with caution. With any luck, by the film's end you will understand the true value of family and friends in this holiday season. That, or you will have plunged off a bridge to an icy death in the waters below. Either way, I get my wings.
