A now here's another good excuse to drink beer: the Deep Space 9 drinking game.

How to Play

Before the show starts, everyone picks a character; take a drink every time the character gets into a confrontation, conflict or fight. In addition, take a drink whenever:

• the wormhole is shown/opens (this includes the opening credits)
• anyone says 'DS9' as the name of the space station
• something isn't working properly on the station
• violence breaks out on the promenade ring
• the station is shown from outside
• any door is seen opened manually (if it's a 'cog', take two)
• the 'cog' airlocks are used/operated
• Dr Bashir suggests something patently unwise
• Sisko threatens somebody
• somebody mentions Bjor (only one drink per line; any number during the scene)
• someone hits on Dax
• the Cardasian spy uses clothing as a euphemism for something else
• Odo is puzzled by humanoid behaviour
• someone from Star Trek: The Next Generation makes an appearance
• Odo does something intentionally humorous
• Dax gets into an amorous (sexual) encounter
• Dr. Bashir does something clever not related to medicine.
• Quark does something selfless
• O'Brien is asked to jury-rig something to save the day and it doesn't work

Additional Rules

There are certain situations where players must take a drink AND shout out a phrase:

• someone rides the elevator to/from the control room (shout out "going up?" or "going down?")
• a shuttlecraft is shown (shout out the name of the craft)
• Odo shapeshifts (shout out "Jelly!!")
• O'Brien uses the transporters (sigh nostalgically)
• Jake Sisko gets in trouble (shout out "Kids these days!")
