The Ultimate Bridgerton Drinking Game Rules for All Seasons
Bridgerton Season 1 Drinking Game Rules
For those embarking on the journey of season one, your drinks will flow as freely as the Duke and Duchess’s chemistry. Here’s how to play:
- Take a sip every time Lady Whistledown reveals a juicy secret about one of the characters.
- Take two sips whenever a dance or waltz scene occurs at one of the grand balls.
- Take a big gulp when the Duke and Daphne exchange one of their intense, yearning glances. Watch out — this one’s frequent!
Bridgerton Season 2 Drinking Game Rules
With a new season comes new drama, and season two is brimming with Anthony’s inner turmoil. Here’s how to survive it:
- Take a sip every time Anthony says “I’m a gentleman” or insists on propriety.
- Take two sips when Anthony throws himself into the lake and emerges shirtless—so dramatic!
- Take a big gulp whenever a duel or showdown is brewing.
Bridgerton Season 3 Drinking Game Rules
As the stakes get higher in season three, so do the opportunities for fun:
- Take a sip when someone mentions “Polin,” the fan-favorite couple of Penelope and Colin.
- Take two sips every time Lady Whistledown drops a bombshell about someone’s personal life (double the drama!)
- Take a big gulp when a scandalous secret is revealed that has everyone gasping.
Bridgerton Drinking Game Variations
Looking to add some extra spice and scandal to your Bridgerton drinking game? Forget the basics — here are some hilariously fun and innovative twists to keep your next viewing party as dramatic as the show itself.
1. The Lady Whistledown’s Gossip Game
Because no one spills tea quite like Whistledown!
- Rule: Every time Lady Whistledown exposes a scandalous secret or someone is caught in a compromising situation, everyone takes a sip. But here’s the twist: whoever can predict the next scandal or plot twist gets to make someone else drink! (Can you foresee Colin’s next blunder or Penelope’s undercover gossiping?)
- Bonus: If Whistledown writes about a secret you’ve already guessed, make the whole group take a drink in your honor!
2. The Featherington Fashion Faux Pas Sip-a-thon
Because their wardrobe is more shocking than their scandals.
- Rule: Every time the Featherington family shows up in another eye-popping, outrageous outfit, take a sip for every color you can spot. The more wild the outfit, the more you sip!
- Bonus: If anyone can correctly guess what shade Lady Featherington will wear next, they get to choose someone else to drink.
3. Daphne’s Deep Sigh Game
The Duchess of Hastings may be royalty, but her sighs are a whole mood.
- Rule: Every time Daphne Bridgerton sighs in frustration, desire, or disappointment, take a drink. If she sighs dramatically while staring at the Duke with longing, take two sips.
- Bonus: If you catch Simon smirking in response to her sigh, the whole group has to drink!
4. Anthony’s Unnecessary Brooding Gulp
For when Lord Bridgerton is overthinking everything… again.
- Rule: Drink every time Anthony furrows his brows, stares intensely into the distance, or starts pacing around like he’s about to make a huge life decision. If he does it shirtless, double your sips!
- Bonus: If Kate Sharma shuts down Anthony’s brooding with a witty remark, chug your drink. The lady is always right!
5. The Regency Rake Challenge
For when the flirtation gets a little too intense.
- Rule: Anytime a rake (hello, Simon, Anthony, and pretty much any Bridgerton male) flirts shamelessly or makes intense eye contact, take a sip. If their flirtation leads to a kiss or something more scandalous, take a gulp.
- Bonus: If two people get caught alone together (in a compromising or heated situation), everyone finishes their drink in honor of propriety.
Pall Mall Drinking Game: Bridgerton Style
Inspired by the playful, yet fiercely competitive Pall Mall game featured in Bridgerton, here’s a drinking game that adds an extra layer of fun to the Regency-era classic.
How to Play the Pall Mall Drinking Game
- Set Up Your “Field”
- You don’t need a Pall Mall course to play this drinking version! If you’re watching Bridgerton, use the Pall Mall scene in season 2 as a backdrop. If you’re outdoors, set up a croquet or makeshift Pall Mall course and let the fun begin!
- Choose Your Drinks
- Sips for light-hearted moments
- Gulps for more intense or competitive situations
- Shots for major events (but drink responsibly!)
Pall Mall Drinking Game Rules
Before the Game Starts:
- Drink for the Colorful Mallet: Before the game even begins, take a sip if someone argues over who gets which mallet. (Looking at you, Anthony and Kate.)
- Toast to the Mallet of Death: If someone grabs the black mallet (aka “The Mallet of Death”), everyone must take a shot. It’s a symbol of power, after all!
During the Game:
- Miss a Shot, Take a Sip: Whenever a player misses the ball or fails to get it through the hoop, they take a sip. If you’re watching the Bridgertons, drink every time Anthony misses (or pretends to miss).
- Knock Someone’s Ball Away, Everyone Drinks: Whenever a player knocks someone else’s ball far away from the goal, everyone except the player must take a sip. It’s Pall Mall’s ultimate power move!
- Trash Talk, Take a Gulp: If anyone talks smack or teases during the game (or if a character does in the show), take a gulp. Pall Mall is as much about the banter as the play.
End of the Game:
- First to Finish, Last to Drink: The winner of the game doesn’t drink, but everyone else has to finish their drink in a toast to the victor.
- Celebration Shots: If someone wins the game with an epic shot, or in the show’s scene when the game concludes dramatically, everyone raises a shot to the glory of the winner!
Bonus Rules (For Extra Fun):
- Drink for Sabotage: If anyone intentionally cheats or bends the rules (like hitting someone else’s ball on purpose), everyone takes two sips.
- Unrequited Romance Sip: Watching Bridgerton’s tension-filled Pall Mall game? Drink whenever the chemistry between Anthony and Kate gets too intense to handle!
What Are They Drinking on Bridgerton?
In Bridgerton, drinks flow as freely as the scandalous gossip! Whether it’s a fancy ball or a tense meeting at the gentlemen’s club, you’ll see characters sipping on some classic period-appropriate beverages. But here’s the twist—let’s take each iconic drink and turn it into a fun Bridgerton drinking game!
1. Bourbon at the Gentlemen’s Club
Anthony Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings spend many scenes at the gentlemen’s club, deep in conversation with a glass of bourbon in hand. Whether they’re amicable or at odds, bourbon is the drink of choice for intense debates.
Drinking Game Rule:
- Take a sip every time you see Anthony or the Duke with bourbon in hand.
- If their conversation takes a dramatic turn (either in tension or bromance), take a gulp.
- Bonus: If someone throws a verbal jab that lands just a bit too well, take a shot!
2. Tea Time Drama
Tea is central to the Bridgerton social fabric—every character from Lady Danbury to Queen Charlotte enjoys a delicate cup of tea during their gossipy afternoon chats or private moments of reflection.
Drinking Game Rule:
- Sip your drink every time a character is shown sipping tea.
- If the tea scene includes gossip or a scandalous revelation, take two sips.
- If Queen Charlotte sips tea while eavesdropping on drama (as she loves to do), finish your drink!
3. Champagne at the Ball
Nothing screams Regency-era celebration like a glass of champagne! Whether it’s during a lavish ball or an extravagant garden party, champagne represents the opulence and excess of Bridgerton’s world.
Drinking Game Rule:
- Drink every time a character clinks glasses or raises a toast at a ball or social event.
- If the champagne leads to a romantic interaction (a kiss, a dance, or a stolen glance), take a gulp.
- Bonus: If someone drops their glass dramatically, everyone takes a shot!
4. Brandy for the Gentlemen
After dinner, the Bridgerton men, like many Regency gentlemen, retreat to enjoy a glass of brandy. It’s their drink of choice for winding down after a long day of aristocratic duty (or drama).
Drinking Game Rule:
- Every time a male character pours or sips on brandy, take a sip of your own drink.
- If their conversation shifts to discussing family honor, unrequited love, or duels, take two sips.
- Bonus: If Anthony starts brooding with his glass of brandy, it’s shot time!
5. Punch at the Party
No Bridgerton ball is complete without a large, extravagant bowl of punch! This fruity, often spiked concoction is perfect for fueling the ton’s lively (and sometimes drama-filled) gatherings.
Drinking Game Rule:
- Sip every time a character ladles punch into their cup at a party.
- If someone gets a little too tipsy from the punch, take a big gulp.
- If the punch bowl is the source of a dramatic moment (like a spilled drink or an argument), finish your drink!
6. Sherry for the Aristocrats
Sherry is a favored drink among the upper class, often enjoyed during quieter moments or alongside intense gossip sessions.
Drinking Game Rule:
- Take a sip whenever sherry is mentioned or poured.
- If sherry is served during a scandalous conversation (think Lady Whistledown-level gossip), take two sips.
- Bonus: If someone storms off in the middle of a sherry-fueled conversation, everyone takes a shot.
