Jeopardy drinking game: first draft

1. If you get an answer right and no one on TV gets it right, take a drink.
2. If you get an answer right and no one else you're playing with IRL gets it right, take a drink.
3. If you manage to guess an answer based on the category, before hearing the clue, take a drink.
4. If you get a Before & After right, regardless of circumstances, take a drink. (just because we suck at Before & After).
5. If you don't get the answer right but it's clear that you know the answer, your fellow players may grant you a drink at their discretion.
6. If you get an answer right thanks to something you were once told or taught by another player, you should grant them a drink. (This rule should rarely come into play, unless we someday find ourselves playing with Monty Python.)
7. Only your first guess for each question counts.

This game is intended to accompany playing Jeopardy with other people along with the TV. You can do it in person or over the computer (although you'll probably want to go sip-based instead of shot-based if you're doing it on the computer because pouring and typing at the same time are hard).

This is a performance-based version where drinks are rewards. In a two-person game using sips or half-shots of wine, we went through most of one glass. Adjust your beverage of choice and definition of "a drink" accordingly. In a game with more people, you'd probably end up drinking less.
