Bad Movie Drinking Game - The Happening
The Happening, the 2008 film by infamous director M. Night Shyamalan, is a classic bad movie. There are tons of Youtube videos with millions of views tearing it apart, dissecting its nonsense, absurdity, and hilarity. If you've ever seen one of those videos and thought the movie looked funny but too stupid to actually sit down and watch for 90 minutes, here's a way to make the experience more fun. However, having now seen the movie myself, I will say that it's insane enough that it doesn't even need alcohol to enhance it. Although it's practically universally acknowledged as a bad movie, if you sincerely love this movie, or any of the movies I will ever describe as "bad," please know that badness is not an objective trait or even a negative quality. All movies can bring joy and are art.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief was one of the first bad movie drinking games my boyfriend and I did together, and it remains one of the best ever. Its sequel, Sea of Monsters, was a close second. If you sincerely love this movie, or any of the movies I will ever describe as "bad," please know that badness is not an objective trait or even a negative quality. All movies can bring joy and are art.

Bad Movie Drinking Games: The Basics
I love bad movies, and haven't met one yet that wasn't improved by a drinking game. My boyfriend and I have a weekly ritual: every Friday night, we gather beers or ciders, snacks, and sit down to watch a couple of bad movies or episodes of a bad TV show. For every single one we make a new list of rules tailored to the movie, but we also have a stock list that applies to every piece of bad media. Here it is: drink every time you feel/observe-

Thoughtful Films About Alcoholism Everyone Should Watch. Top Story - December 2017.
Speaking as someone who could probably be considered an alcoholic by most, the way that many television series show alcohol addiction isn't really realistic. In fact, most writers have boiled it down to one or two TV tropes.
