For those unfamiliar with games of this kind, the basic concept is to get drunk. (Big surprise there!)

However, in an effort to make such a game accessible to the non-achoholic type drinker, the following suggestion is made:

Imbibe your personal choice of drink and during the game stay seated, no trips to the bathroom for whatever the chosen length of the game is. (For real fortitude, I recommend at least 2 episodes!)
