The Official AIG 24 Drinking Game: Expanded & Revised for a New Generation
One of the very first fandom features we ever had on this site was the Official AIG Drinking Game. Watch any given episode of 24, and follow along with a bottle of your favourite beer, wine or spirits. And in the spirit of 24’s resurrection in the form of Live Another Day, I have revised and expanded the AIG Drinking Game for a new generation of 24, and 24 fans. The revised and expanded edition pays tribute to seasons of old (great for a rainy weekend indoors with Netflix and some strong hooch), but I’m hoping it will also carry over to the Live Another Day experience. If you have suggestions for additions to the game, feel free to leave ’em in the comments. Please remember to enjoy responsibly.
