Top 10: Movie Drinking Games



Yes, drinking games are all about the, well, drinking, but they can also serve as the perfect excuse to watch your favorite movies time and time again without slipping into a boredom-induced coma.
Take Scarface, for example. No one can deny that this timeless classic is an amazing piece of cinematic history, but even then, stream it a handful of times and it’ll become a little too predictable. What’s a film buff to do then? Grab their friends and give one of these 10 movie drinking games a try, of course. 
Although rules are definitely meant to be broken in this case and we encourage you to tweak and add new ones as you go along, these should serve as a great starting point, if we do say so ourselves. Now, invite your friends over (just make sure you've got plenty of beverage options in the fridge!) and turn movie night into an unforgettable bash with one of th
ese fun games. 

Scarface (1983) 

The movie: Two words: Al Pacino. Set in Miami in 1980, Scarface is one of those movies that was made to be watched over and over again, which makes it the perfect candidate for a drinking game. Watch as Pacino, playing a Cuban immigrant, builds a drug empire and eventually gets a little too cocky for his own good. Cocaine... it's a helluva drug.

  • Someone snorts cocaine (duh).
  • Tony kills someone.
  • Someone says ‘fuck’.
  • You see a sunset. 
  • The movie moves to a new country.
