5. The Lord of the Rings Drinking Game
Yes, it's that time again! Middle-Earth is beckoning for yet another marathon of The Lord of the Rings, so buckle in for a full day of nerdy and tipsy fun.
This drinking game is specifically designed for the final movie in the trilogy, as nine straight hours of drinking might make you fall asleep long before Frodo makes it to Mordor.
Instead, after completing the first two movies during your marathon, it should be evening and now more socially acceptable to break out the drinks for the final act in the series.
Take a drink every time:
- Someone says "My precious!"
- Someone says "Mr. Frodo."
- Someone wears the One Ring.
- Someone dies.
Finish your drink when:
- Gollum falls to his death in Mount Doom.
- You think the movie should have ended. There are several concluding scenes to choose between.

To make Twilight even more entertaining to watch, pair it with this drinking game that'll help make the movie more bearable.
Take a drink every time:
- Bella stammers.
- Bella bites her lip or trips over.
- Edward does that weird stare thing.
