James Hoskin's

The Rules:

Gather friends (if applicable) around the television. Place alcoholic drinks within easy reach. Watch "Star Wars" drinking when instructed to by the following rules. Best effect (unconsciousness) is achieved with back to back viewing's, i.e. watch all 3 movies in one go. In case of confusion over whether or not to drink, always err on the side of drinking. Enjoy!
