The Ultimate Big Brother Drinking Game

By Aimee Moses at Northwestern University

Big Brother is back for the summer with the magnificent Julie Chen and a houseful of new – and some old – contestants competing to win $500,000. #BB18 is proving to be just as twist- and drama-filled as usual, with more alliances than I can count on one hand.

Airing 3 nights a week, Big Brother requires quite the time commitment and you might as well keep it interesting with – what else – alcohol. Without school during the week, the summer is the perfect time to grab your friends and get wasted on a Sunday, Wednesday and/or Thursday night to Big Brother.

Take a sip when:

• A houseguest wears a costume
• Someone says “showmance”
• Two houseguests cuddle

• Anyone says “backdoor”
• Julie Chen says “houseguests”
• A houseguest names their target

Drink two sips if:

• Three or more houseguests cuddle
• An evicted houseguest is mentioned
• Someone pranks another houseguest

• Someone actually goes in the pool
• An alliance turns on one of their own
• A picture on the memory wall fades to grey – an Irish funeral of sorts

Take a shot when:

• A competition starts
• Someone cries
• A new alliance is formed

Finish your drink if:

• A new showmance commences
• You incorrectly guessed who would win a competition
• A floater gets their game together and finally joins an alliance

Be safe, drink up, then go creep on the houseguests with the live feeds.
