How to Play the Labyrinth Drinking Game

Although the fantasy film, "Labyrinth" was considered a box-office failure when it was released in the mid-80s, it has since grown in popularity and attained cult-classic status. The recent resurgence of interest in "Labyrinth" is at least partly due to the Internet, where fans indulge in Labyrinth chat rooms, fan sites and the following drinking game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Drink by Character-Based Events

1. Drink once when Sarah exclaims, "You have no power over me," "It's not fair," whines, gets cocky, looks worried, meets a useless creature, or takes something for granted. Also drink once when Jareth makes an impressive entrance, changes costume, twirls his crystal balls, makes a veiled threat, bursts into song or gloats.
2. Take a drink whenever Hoggle grovels, grumbles, switches loyalties, pities himself or lies to protect himself. Also drink once when Ludo summons his rocks or acts like a stuffed animal, Didymus acts knightly or attacks something out of his league, Ambrosius gets scared, or Toby makes a cute baby sound.
3. Sip twice when Jareth is dressed all in white, displays an emotion other than anger, sings about something other than Sarah or doesn't get Hoggle's name wrong. Also sip twice when Sarah does something clever on her own, Hoggle displays selflessness, Ludo forms a complete sentence, Didymus admits he's met his match or impersonates the Lone Ranger, or Toby says "Dada"--then burps.

Drink by Random Events

4. Take a drink whenever a clock appears out of nowhere or a goblin speaks intelligently.
5. Drink twice when a clock appears with only twelve hours on its face, you spot misplaced milk bottles or a character from the Labyrinth appears in Sarah's room.
6. Sip twice when a random character says, "Things aren't always what they seem in this place" or "Your Mama's a friggin' aardvark."

Tips & Warnings

• If you're drinking alcoholic beverages, the winner of the game is the person that's sober enough to hit rewind on the DVD player or VCR.
• If you're drinking non-alcoholic beverages, the winner of the game is the person that's taken the fewest bathroom breaks or not used the bathroom at all during the movie.
