  • Sip — Every time Otto Hightower whispers counsel into someone's ear to advance his own position
  • Sip — Every time the Iron Throne physically wounds the person sitting on it
  • Drink Twice — Every time Daemon Targaryen does something reckless that somehow works in his favor

  • Drink Twice — Every time a character swears loyalty to one side of the Dance of Dragons explicitly
  • Shot — Every time a major character dies off screen and the news arrives by raven or messenger
  • Shot — Every time a dragon fight erupts and both dragons sustain visible wounds mid-battle
