Share:

Behind every perfect lawn is a family secret — drink every time Wisteria Lane cracks.

The Rules

  • Sip — Mary Alice Young narrates over a scene with knowing irony from beyond the grave
  • Sip — Bree Van de Kamp bakes or sets a table under observable emotional distress
  • Sip — Lynette Scavo is outmaneuvered by her own children in public
  • Sip — Gabrielle Solis complains about something superficial while something serious is happening
  • Sip — Susan Mayer pulls a move clumsy that escalates a situation she was trying to fix
  • Drink Twice — a new family moves to Wisteria Lane and everyone investigates them immediately
  • Drink Twice — a neighborhood potluck or block party serves as cover for a confrontation
  • Drink Twice — Edie Britt weaponizes information against someone in a parking lot conversation
  • Shot — someone on Wisteria Lane is revealed to have been hiding a crime for multiple seasons
  • Shot — a tornado or natural disaster reshuffles every character's motivation
  • Chug — the housewives bury a body together and promise to never speak of it again
