The Dr. House Drinking Game
House M.D. is indeed one of the best shows on TV. Like many others, I enjoy watching it. And to increase my enjoyment of the show even more, I started a House Drinking Game. With the help of others, inlcuding Jim “Suldog” Sullivan and Digg user toxicredm, I now present:
The Dr. House Drinking Game
- When Gregory House pops a Vicodin, take a drink.
- If he goes the entire episode without popping a Vicodin, take three .
- When someone has a seizure, take a drink.
- When someone goes into cardiac arrest, take a drink.
- When a patient bleeds profusely, take a drink.
- When a patient spews fluid from a body orifice, take a drink.
- When a patient spews blood from a body orifice, take two drinks.
- When a patient doubts House’s diagnosis, take a drink.
- When House’s team disagrees with his diagnosis, take a drink for each member of the team.
- When Cuddy countermands House’s orders, take a drink.
- When House acts against Cuddy or hospital rules, take a drink.
- When House insults one of his clinic patients, take a drink.
- When House talks down to one of the hospital staff, take a drink.
- When House or his team illegally searches someone’s home, take a drink.
- When House and his team performs any medical procedure against the patient’s wishes, take a drink.
- Whenever you find out a patient is fibbing on his medical history, take a drink.
- Whenever House lies in a patient report, take a drink.
- Then, when House tells a patient he’ll die unless he cooperates, take a drink.
- Every time there is sexual tension between two characters, take a drink for every doctor involved. (Borrowed from the Grey’s Anatomy drinking game.)
- Every time House makes an inappropriate sexual comment to Cuddy or Cameron, take a drink.
- Every time House makes an insensitive racial remark to Foreman, take a drink.
- Every time House makes fun of Aussies to Chase, take a drink. (Hey, we can’t leave him out!)
- Whenever someone makes a current-event or pop-culture reference, take a drink. (Borrowed from the Gilmore Girls drinking game.)
- Every time someone has mommy or daddy issues, take a drink.
- Every time it’s not lupus, take a drink.
- If they think it might be cancer, take a drink.
- If they have to choose which tests to do, because they’re out of time or there’s some other restraint, take a drink.
- If they perform every test they can think of on a diagnostic fishing expedition, no matter the cost, take a drink.
I’ve actually tried this game, and it is enough to get you a good buzz watching an average episode of House. In fact, it may be a bit too much.

Of course, you could also reverse one of them: Every time Dr. House takes a drink, pop a Vicodin.

When I was in college, we had a drinking game called “Hi Bob”. It was an elegantly simple game, and you played by watching reruns of the old Bob Newhart show.
Every time a character said “Hi Bob”, you had to take a drink. Devastating.

Drink every time someone performs a lumbar puncture, double if its referred to as an ‘LP’.
Drink if the person who gets sick in the opening scene isn’t who you thought it would be.

You forgot a few:
Take a drink when-
Dr. Wilson psychoanalyzes house.
Dr. Forman suggests the disease is neurological
House lets you know he’s an atheist.
Someone rags on Chase for being young.
Someone tells House he should lay of the vicodin.
Take 4 when -
The patient doesn’t make it.
House shows human compassion.

Take a drink when House looks at porn, mentions porn or hookers.
