About a month ago, we decided to have a Twilight Party, with the idea that we would eat good food and play a drinking game to the movie. I googled ‘twilight drinking game’ and found out that there are a plethora of so-called twilight drinking games- some made up BEFORE the movie came out, so there were instructions to drink during things that actually didn’t make it into the movie. Yeah, weird. So I decided to make up my own.
I figured, how hard could it be? Folks, NOT HARD AT ALL. We ALL know there’s plenty of fodder in this little gem! I culled from the best of the existing games, and added some of my own ideas, and voila. We decorated with the two Edward Cullen posters, mustachioed and noteworthy, and my friend Talya and I came up with a tapas style menu that was sort of Twilight themed, to add tastyness to our evening:
- Lamb meatballs with sour cherry sauce (looks like chunky blood, and tastes like a little bit of tangy heaven.)
- French bread with roasted garlic (I know that goes against the twilight mythology, but garlic is tasty, y’all, and it IS a classic vampire staple.)
- Tomato Basil soup (yum, yum, yumminess that goes with the blood theme.)
- Grilled steak served on a bed of arugula with parmesan, olive oil and lemon, with a side of garlic mashed potatoes (in honor of Charlie and Bella always eating meat and potatoes)
- Chocolate cookies with a nutella center that oozes out like yummy chocolate-hazelnut blood when you bite it.
Ahhh… delightful. I recommend making either sangria or bloody mary’s to drink. However, we had a bunch of beer drinking guys in attendance, so we stuck with that. Before I list out the rules, I do have some advice to would-be twilight drinking game participants: this is supposed to be fun. If you really hate the movie, or are an angry drunk, don’t play. This is not the activity for you. Trust me, it WON’T be fun. Still with me? Okay, here goes:
The Twilight Drinking Game
Take ONE Drink Whenever:
- Edward and Bella stare silently at each other
- Bella touches her hair
- Charlie looks very, very uncomfortable
- Bella stammers
- Jasper looks like Edward Scissorhands
- Edward smiles his ‘crooked’ smile
- Bella bites her lip
- James cocks his head to one side
- Mike refers to Bella as ‘Arizona’
- Bella trips – take TWO drinks if Edward catches her
- Any vampire hisses like a cat
- Someone says the word ‘monkey’
- Edward does something creepy or possessive and Bella finds it romantic
CHUG Whenever:
- Any vampire sparkles, until said sparkling is completed
Y’ALL, you will be drinking NON-STOP! Seriously, I only made it through the sparkling bit- that scene is LOOOONG when you are chugging pumpkin ale, let me tell you- before i had to stop drinking. The movie wasn’t even half over, and we were eating a LOT of food, but I was done for. So, if any of you try this, please let me know how far you make it. Bottoms up!

Oh, man, THIS is awesome! It might just push me into finally watching the movie!
I’ve never seen Twilight, and never really had the desire to, but I do love a good drink or five. Can I just skip the movie and take a few drinks? Maybe one day when there’s nothing else to watch I’ll watch this one, and do the drinking game just to make it through.
Yay! My first reaction upon watching this movie was DEAR GOD this would make an amazing drinking game. I was worried that perhaps I was to old to continue making movie drinking games (um, like Newsies, which got brutal after the chug-for-pelvis-thrusts rule), but thank you for proving me wrong. Can’t wait to play!
does the drinking game come with a personal chef, jenny? because I NEED THOSE NUTELLA COOKIES IMMEDIATELY. and i will be too busy sipping my blood red wine (cos bella pushes her hair back a LOT) to actually cook anything.
you know we’ll have to make a revised version before new moon comes out, right? right.
and OMG i just thought of how AWESOME the HG drinking game will be when the movie comes out. like, every time a tribute dies… every time katniss is completely oblivious to peeta’s feelings… HOLY PANTS.
But, poshd, I actually WANT to be sober for the Hunger Games movie.
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny! A) can you come cook dinner for me, like, every day?? And B) I am pretty sure this Twilight Drinking Game tops even Smallville Drinking Game and Kings!!! I am not sure my liver can handle such insanity . . . but I’m gonna try.
Dude, I am totally actually going to watch Twilight now! Hard to believe, but as I invented Smallville Drinking Game, and a million other drinking games, I am obvs such a fan of the [Movie or Television Show] Drinking Game. This sounds spectacular. I will do it and let you know if it does actually top SDG in drunkability, considering we drink every time they say “Clark” or twice every time they say “Clark Kent,” and for some reason on that show, it’s always, “Clark, I have something really important to tell you and here’s that important thing I was going to say, Clark Kent.”
Dude, tapas and sangria. I am doing this. I am all about theme nights!
Meredith, I sense a post-honeymoon booze-filled night at the castle. You make the sangria, I’ll make the tapas.
Meredith neglected to mention you also have to drink anytime Lana makes it all about her, and it’s murder anytime she says any variation of “Clark, pay attention to me! Clark Kent, are you listening?”
It’s a date, Erin E! Oh man, true stuff about Lana. And also since we have to drink twice every time someone is driving fast and listening to loud music so we know they’re going to crash; that one really gets you.
