  Drinking game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Games that involve creative thinking (such as naming a sports player whose name begins with a particular letter, for example) might be played under a "drink while you think" rule in which a player must consume his beverage until he can come up with an answer.
Events such as the State of the Union address, the Oscars, and the Eurovision Song Contest (for example) have become targets of such drinking games, often as a means of relieving the monotony of a long event.
For example, in the game of chess, players may have to take drinks when one of their pieces are captured (or perhaps the opposite, where they have to drink upon capturing a piece).
