Modern Family Drinking Game Rules

You should be having a great time by now, but remember to pace yourselves and drink responsibly. Here are some tips to make sure you have the best experience with the Modern Family Drinking Game:

1. Choose a character before the start of the game and drink twice the amount!

If you’re playing with a larger group, have everyone pick a character to “represent.” Every time your chosen character appears, do something we’ve listed above; for example, if Jay starts talking about sports and you chose Jay as your character, you drink six shots instead of three.

2. Space out your drinks.

It’s tempting to keep taking shots every time there’s a rule, but take breaks and space out your drinks. You don’t want to get too drunk too quickly and miss the rest of the show!

3. Have some snacks on hand.

Make sure to have some snacks ready while playing the game. Drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea, so prepare some light snacks like chips, popcorn, or fruits for everyone to munch on in between sips. This will also help slow down your alcohol intake.

4. Drink plenty of water.

Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water in between shots or sips. This will also help prevent you from getting too drunk and experiencing a hangover the next day.

5. Don’t drive.

If you plan to play this game with friends, have a designated driver or take a cab home. Please do not drink and drive, as it puts yourself and others at risk.

Like the Modern Family? We hope you’ve enjoyed this game and had a great time with your friends and family!

So, remember these rules and tips for the Modern Family Drinking Game the next time you’re having a viewing party or want to add fun to your binge-watching sessions. Cheers!
