Top Gun Drinking Game + Cocktail

Share:

The need for speed and the need for another drink are the same need.

The Rules

  • Sip — Maverick breaks a rule, ignores an order, or pulls a stunt that nearly gets him expelled
  • Sip — Goose plays 'Great Balls of Fire' on a piano in a bar — or anyone sings 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
  • Sip — Iceman clicks his teeth or gives Maverick the withering stare of disapproval
  • Sip — A shirtless beach volleyball scene shows up — any shirtless scene counts
  • Sip — Charlie tells Maverick his aerial maneuver was dangerously wrong — and he grins anyway
  • Drink Twice — Maverick and Goose fly inverted directly over a MiG and Maverick gives a thumbs up
  • Drink Twice — Goose dies in the flat spin — the parachute canopy, the cockpit, the impact
  • Drink Twice — The 'Highway to the Danger Zone' or 'Take My Breath Away' theme plays prominently
  • Shot — Maverick freezes in combat after Goose's death — he cannot engage the enemy and breaks off
  • Shot — Maverick throws Goose's dog tags into the ocean from the carrier deck
  • Chug — Maverick re-engages, calls Iceman 'You can be my wingman anytime,' and the MiG breaks off — victory
