New Girl Drinking Game + Cocktail

Share:

True American — the greatest game ever played — demands you drink constantly.

The Rules

  • Sip — Jess Day makes a weird noise or sound effect instead of a normal response
  • Sip — Nick Miller writes in his bad vampire novel or complains about technology
  • Sip — Schmidt uses a douche jar-worthy word or pulls a move pompous
  • Sip — Winston Bishop's prank is wildly disproportionate to the original offense
  • Sip — Coach drops a line hyper-aggressive in a context that doesn't call for it
  • Drink Twice — True American is played and no one can explain the rules correctly
  • Drink Twice — Cece reacts to Schmidt with exasperated attraction simultaneously
  • Drink Twice — Jess and Nick almost kiss and pull back for the wrong reason
  • Shot — the loft wins a game of True American with a beer pyramid finish
  • Shot — Schmidt gives a heartfelt apology so overdone it circles back to sincere
  • Chug — Nick and Jess finally kiss in a full uninterrupted moment at the bar
