Take a double shot if the Doctor says, "Now listen to me".

Take a taste of your drink each time Four's eyes bulge. Not a sip- a taste- even less than a sip. Lest you wake up on a gurney.

Take a shot for every instance of funny-business with the interior doors.

Take a shot if the TARDIS runs into a camera-shake vortex.

Take a double shot every time the TARDIS console room's desktop changes or an earlier version appears. Reduce this to sips if it's a multi-Doctor episode, else the Stock Footage hologram images from "Day of the Doctor" may put you in hospital.

If the Doctor's TARDIS and another TARDIS wind up occupying the same physical space, causing a Recursive Reality snafu, fill two glasses and take turns sipping from one or the other each time the episode's perspective shifts between their respective console rooms.

Take a shot if the TARDIS survives its apparent destruction because the Doctor remembered to set the HADS. Take a double shot if the companion freaks out because they don't know about the HADS and thinks their ride has been destroyed.

The Doctor's tools

A shot for whenever he uses the sonic screwdriver. Two shots if the sonic screwdriver is used to do something that's realistically impossible to do with sound waves. Two shots if the sonic screwdriver conveniently breaks down just long enough to cause a cliff-hanger. Drain your glass if the fact it's called a "screwdriver" is made fun of in some way. Finish a whole bottle upon witnessing that miserable moment in "The Visitation" when a Terileptil took a laser to the sonic screwdriver because SOMEONE thought it would benefit the show to take away the Doctor's most iconic tool from the classic series. Finish another bottle and jump for joy when the sonic screwdriver returns in the TV movie under the possession of Seven (and later Eight).

Take a shot whenever the psychic paper is used. Two shots if the psychic paper malfunctions, or three if the malfunction is Played for Laughs.

Take a shot if One uses his ring to do something (open the TARDIS, hypnotize someone, control a Zarbi, etc) that rings don't normally do. Take a sip if the ring doesn't do anything special, but provides a useful clue about One's location or identity.

Take a shot if Three uses a handheld remote control to direct Bessie or another gadget. If Three remote-controls something that people normally operate via remote-control today (e.g. opening a garage door), and it's played up as impressively "high tech", make it a double.

Fifth Doctor era: Take a shot whenever the TARDIS Toolbox appears onscreen.

Sixth Doctor era: Take a shot when the Doctor uses the Sonic Lance.

Ian and Barbara

Take a sip every time Ian and Barbara touch each other in a way that suggests romantic inklings. If you have a spare liver nearby, drink for the duration of the touching.

Take a shot every time Ian or Barbara go into lecture mode about (respectively) science or history, because the show was still trying to pass itself off as semi-educational at the time.

Jamie McCrimmon

Take a sip every time Jamie looks quizzical and says, "Hmm?" Drink if he says "Aye, that."

Sip if Jamie does a Security Cling on the Doctor. Drink if the Doctor clings back. If you dare, keep drinking for as long as they cling to each other.
