These handy drinking rules are for the classic Christmas tale “It’s a Wonderful Life”. It’s an older film about the virtues of being a good person, and how any life lived honestly, it a life worth living. It’s a redemption tale that pairs perfectly with a few drinks to bring out that holiday cheer.
It’s a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey and his constant struggle to stay afloat against the tyrannical business dealings of Mr. Potter. It’s a slow descent into helplessness as George tries to stay honest, where only the kindness of those he’s helped can save him in the end. This It’s a Wonderful Life drinking game adds fun drinking rules like drinking every time someone says George Bailey’s name.
