Modern Family Drinking Game + Cocktail

Three families, one photo op, and zero emotional boundaries — drink to the chaos.

The Rules

  • Sip — Every time Phil Dunphy attempts a magic trick or terrible pun and is very proud of it
  • Sip — Every time Jay Pritchett refuses to talk about his feelings and Manny forces it anyway
  • Sip — Every time Mitchell and Cameron argue about whose fault the current disaster is
  • Sip — Every time Gloria's accent is misunderstood by someone in the Pritchett family
  • Sip — Every time Haley, Alex, and Luke Dunphy expose their parents' hypocrisy
  • Drink Twice — Every time the whole family tries to hide something from each other and fails completely
  • Drink Twice — Every time Cam's theatrical overreaction turns a minor inconvenience into a scene
  • Drink Twice — Every time Jay gives reluctant but genuine emotional support to one of his kids
  • Shot — Every time a mockumentary talking-head interview completely undercuts someone's dignity
  • Shot — Every time Lily says something outrageously blunt that stops all adult conversation
  • Chug — When all three family units converge on the same location and everything collapses at once
