Here in Seattle, it seems that there is only one thing on everyone’s minds: summer. With what will seem like the flick of a switch, the Pacific Northwest will become a utopia of sunshine, 80 degree days and eight o’clock sunsets.

But as Game of Thrones enthusiasts are familiar, the only season that matters right now is winter… because winter is HERE! Today we celebrate the conclusion of the HBO hit, Game of Thrones which begins it’s final season tonight.

Needless to say, the PorchDrinking team is mildly excited. And by mildly excited we mean pee our pants, jump over the moon, kiss a stranger kind of excited. And with that level of enthusiasm, there is only thing to really do if you’re working for a beer blog – to get out all of that pent up energy. Come up with a drinking game.

We hope that you enjoy our Game of Thrones Drinking Game for the premiere, as well as the rest of the season. Playing with delicious drinks is highly encouraged, but not recommended.

Game of Thrones Drinking Game

Every time a main character dies, take a shot.

You’ll have to hope that there are no more red-wedding-like scenes with this rule.

Every time you see a dragon, drink one.

Because what would a Game of Thrones drinking game be without dragons?

Every time Jon Snow is the last one standing, cheers to the King of the North and take a drink!

Is Jon the one true king?

Every time Arya is the last one standing, everyone in the room must make a different face and finish their drinks.

The girl thinks that she is ready to drink, but is she?

Every time there is a scene in a brothel, boys drink.

And take another sip for every pair of boobs you see while we’re at it.

Every time Tyrion drinks or mentions wine, drink with him.

Because who is a better drinking buddy than Lord Tyrion?

Every time Daenerys claims the throne, drink two drinks for her remaining dragons.

Let’s hope no more dragons become White “Flyers”

Every time Cersei snarls, drink one.

You will be drinking quite a bit. Like a lot. A lot a lot.

Every time there is a scene over a dinner or banquet, try your friends drink.

But please no random deaths or poisonings please. This is a happy dinner.

Every time Jaime Lannister is in the scene, drink with your non dominant hand for the rest of the scene.

Out of respect, you know?

Every time someone talks about the rightful king, drink two.

There are about seventeen rightful kings, so sorry about this one.

Every time a major character gets killed by a White Walker freeze what you’re doing then drink and pour one out.

What killed the 7 kingdoms? The ice ageeeeee.

And finally, if Jon and Daenerys are the last ones standing together, link arms with everyone at your watch party and finish your drinks!
