There inevitably comes a point in every person’s adult life where someone has the bright idea to grab drinks and do a movie marathon. No? Well you haven’t lived life then, my friend. Here are a few movie marathon ideas to get you from 0 to hammered in 90 minutes or less.

1. Star Wars

Okay, yeah, this might be a little ambitious for a movie marathon. But assuming you can make it through two of the movies, we can count it (obviously the original movies first, save the prequels for when you’re drunk). Suggested rules are listed below:

Drink when:

• Storm Troopers miss their target
• Someone invokes the Force (“May the Force be with you”)
• R2D2 is useful
• C3PO complains about R2D2
• Han Solo brags about his sweet ride
• Darth Vader chokes someone with the Force
• Anytime someone says the word “midiclorian” (as if that’s a thing at all)
• Yoda says something about the Force

If you want to make it more interesting, add an extra drink in when:

• Chewbacca does the weird throat thing
• Jar Jar Binks does something annoying (if you’re not drunk before watching the prequels you will be after this one)
• A Jedi falls in the name of the light (obviously you drink to preserve his honor here)

May the Booze be with you.

2. Lord of the Rings (maybe the Hobbit?)

If the Star Wars space opera isn’t quite your thing (George Lucas just scowled), maybe the Lord of the Rings saga is more your game. Grab your drinking buddies and get to work! J.R.R. Tolkien wrote these books for you to have a great time.

Drink when:

• Gollum comes on screen and mentions “his precious”
• Legolas does some elf-y thing
• Gandalf is vague
• Bilbo employs thievery to achieve his ends
• Thorin does something annoying and douchey
• Smaug shoots flames at someone
• Sauron comes on screen
• Sam and Frodo have an ~intimate~ moment
• There’s a sick hair-flip (cue Legolas or Thranduil)
• The eagles show up

Mix it up by having everyone take a shot whenever they spot a hobbit’s feet. After this one, everyone in your group is going to want a second breakfast for the probable ensuing hangover.

3. Harry Potter series

Now if the other two series were ambitious, Harry Potter might just be the crown jewel in terms of long-ass movie marathons. But if Harry could be the Boy Who Lived and defeat Voldemort at age 17, you can certainly be the Grown Ass Adult Who Made it Through a Bottle of Cuervo at age 22. Accio Sangria!

Drink when:

• Harry complains about his scar
• Ron swears
• Someone mentions muggles
• Harry gets angsty
• Someone says “He Who Must Not Be Named”
• Magical creatures get involved
• Nearly Headless Nick’s head flops off his body
• Someone scores points in Quidditch

Take a shot/big drink when:

• Harry catches a snitch
• Someone becomes an animal
• Something explodes
• Dumbledore does something questionable as headmaster of a magical school

If by the end of the movie you don’t feel like you’ve just spent six hours in the Leaky Cauldron or the Three Broomsticks, start the next movie. It won’t be long before everyone feels like they’ve taken a big gulp of Draught of the Living Dead. Make Hagrid proud, muggles.

While I wouldn’t necessarily endorse drinking for a complete 9+ hours straight, these movie marathons are bound to make a night in seem much less boring than they might be otherwise. Either way, stay magically drunk, May the Hangover not suck, and make sure you keep that precioussssss water next to you after your movie marathon drinking game night.

1. Polyjuice cocktail

For those of you that have seen the movie or read the books, don’t worry, we didn’t use any hair in this drink! It is delicious, even Harry would want more and more of this drink.

Recipe:
1 cup orange juice (without pulp)
3 tbsp sweetened ginger tea concentrate (recipe below)
2 halved peach slices (canned)
½ cup Sprite
1 drop blue food coloring
4 tbsp vodka
2 ginger tea bags
1 cup hot water
2 tbsp honey

Instructions:
Steep bags of ginger tea in hot water for 10 minutes, add in the honey and then, place the orange juice, peaches, and sweetened ginger tea concentrate in a blender.  After you blend everything with ice, that’s when you are going to add the vodka, Spirt and then a little blue food coloring.

2. Unicorn blood cocktail

You don’t have to kill a unicorn to see its blood; you can instead drink it! This drink is so delicious, and there were no actual unicorns harmed in its creation. Scouts honor.

Recipe:
1.5 oz silver tequila
1.5 oz St. Germain (elderflower liqueur)
1 oz lemon juice

Combine everything in a shaker with ice, strain into a glass, and you got the best cocktail out there!

3. Wolfsbane potion

While there is no cure for becoming a werewolf, Professor Lupin does approve of this particular drink. Not only is it tasty but it is not for the faint of heart. Like scotch whiskey? This is the best drink for you!

Recipe:
1.5 oz Scotch whiskey
1.5 oz Fernet-Branca
Coca-Cola

Put the scotch and Fernet into a shaker with ice, shake it on up and then strain into a glass with one large ice cube. How magical does that sound?

4. Butterbeer

No Harry Potter drink list would be complete without the fantastic butterbeer drink. For this drink, you won’t need much and it’s so delish.

Recipe:

1 – 2 oz. butterscotch schnapps, depending on how sweet you prefer.
2 oz. whipped cream flavored vodka
6 oz. cream soda
1 large spoonful marshmallow fluff

In a tumbler, you’ll just want to mix up the liquor, cream soda and ice. Strain that into a chilled class of your choice and then whip up the fluff and the butterscotch schnapps together and top off your drink!

5. Hog Head Pub’s fire whisky

Harry got his first taste of this drink in The Deathly Hallows in memory of Mad-Eye Moody. This cocktail is something that you need when courage is needed but if you want it suitable for a party? Mix it with a little ginger ale; it’ll temper the taste down a little bit.

Recipe:
1 oof whiskey
1/2 oz of cinnamon schnapps
Splash of 151 rum

So, all you little wizards out there, while you are still waiting on your Hogwarts acceptance letter, don’t worry, these cocktails will get you through it! Do you have any more concoctions that you’ve created? Share them!
