Drinking games - The X-Files Drinking Game.

To play this game you, obviously, need some episodes of X-Files and something to drink. Here at Vorpal we usually take sips and gulps of beer, wine, White Russians or other mixed drinks. If you want to get tanked, we recommend a whole lot of pre-poured shots or half-shots laid out on the table, with beer to nurse in between. Constantly re-pouring shot glasses is a pain in the ass if the show's a good one.

Do not be shy about yelling out, "DRINK!" if no one else is paying attention. Whoever yells "DRINK!" first does not have to take a sip.
