This recreational activity combines viewing a specific film with the consumption of alcoholic beverages, adhering to a set of rules that dictate when participants must drink. These rules are typically tied to recurring events on screen, such as a particular character’s actions, specific lines of dialogue, or certain visual cues. For example, participants might drink every time a specific character enters a scene or when a particular phrase is uttered.
The ritual enhances the viewing experience, often transforming it into a more interactive and humorous event. It fosters a sense of community among participants, creating shared memories and inside jokes. Its origin lies in the embrace of a so-bad-it’s-good movie, turning a potentially tedious viewing into a participatory spectacle.
