Drinking Game (https://thechuggernauts.com):

\n

Take a sip whenever...

\n
    \n
  • Someone says \u201cJames\u201d or \u201cBond\u201d (Yes this would mean 3 drinks for the phrase \u201cName\u2019s Bond, James Bond\u201d)
  • \n
  • Any agent\u2019s number (or letter) is mentioned. Such as 007, 006, M, Q, etc\u2026
  • \n
  • Bond uses one of his gadgets given to him by Q (or anyone else at the agency)
  • \n
  • Someone gets shot
  • \n
  • Someone falls crashes
  • \n
  • Bond gets into his over-the-top car
  • \n
  • Anyone on screen sips alcoholDrink twice if it\u2019s a shaken Martini
  • \n
\n

Take a huge chug whenever...

\n
    \n
  • There\u2019s a sex scene
  • \n
  • A chase scene starts
  • \n
\n

Finish your drink whenever...

\n
    \n
  • Bond is successfully captured. There\u2019s a bit of a grey area in some films on if he was successfully captured, so let\u2019s just say any time he is taken somewhere at gunpoint, put in handcuffs, or ends up in a cell.
