The Comprehensive X-Files Drinking Game
Version 1.20

by Keith Hornberger et. al.

Welcome to the home page of the drinking game that blows all other X-Files drinking games (sorry, fellas) out of the water! In the spirit of good drinking games, this one is not a laundry list of routine things that happen on the show; it is a laundry list of the routine things that are funny. This makes all the difference in the world when it comes time to play the game.

INSTRUCTIONS: Each time an event listed below occurs, take the designated number of sips from your beverage of choice. Please note that items on the chart are cumulative. For example, if Mulder cracks a one liner, and it contains sexual innuendo, and it's directed at Scully, then you would take a total of (1 + 1 + 2) four sips. Items are broken down by character.

SUGGESTIONS: The author will gladly take suggestions for additions to future versions of the game. You will receive credit and be added to a list of contributors. Just e-mail me your ideas. No promises on what I'll include in future versions.

DISCLAIMER: Mulder, Scully, and everything else related to The X-Files are the property of Chris Carter, 1013 Productions, and Twentieth Century Fox. I'm just humbly borrowing them and having a little fun. On a related note, do me a favor and don't rip the game off. If you want to e-mail it around, fine, but I insist that my name and the site URL remain attached to any copies, electronic or print.

ALCOHOL NOTICE: Because of Geocities' policy on alcohol and such, I must say for the record that you should not drink alcohol while playing this game. Suck yogurt with bee pollen through a straw, or eat sunflower seeds. That being said, what you actually do while playing is entirely up to you and entirely beyond my control. Whatever happens to you as a result is your problem and not mine.
