The object of the game is to have fun, not to become intoxicated, but it is quite a coincidence that if you follow this game exactly, both outcomes may occur. TGUT takes no responsibility for the consequences of playing the drinking game -- but we do require that players in our lounge give Our Bartender a doubled drinking security deposit to cover any accidents that may occur.

The Rules: for each instance where you are supposed to "drink", take a sip of your favorite alcoholic or caffienated beverage, or substitute with the chocolate candies you can purchase at the bar. Missed drink opportunities, when pointed out by your companions, must be taken in double shots. Winners (those still playing, and conscious at the end of a pre-determined number of eps) are welcome to pick up their complimentary coupon for 10 credits off at our Gift Shop at the end of the night.
