But you'd probably pass out before they even got to "Pull up, Porkins!"

The only rule is that you had to take a drink any time anyone said the word "who."
It's really just a fancy way to commit suicide by alcohol poisoning.

* Drink every time Avon makes a snide comment. (or if you want to survive the night... drink every time Avon says something that ISN'T a snide comment)
* Drink every time Orac refuses to help the crew because his circuits are busy, possessed, or he just plain doesn't feel like it.
* Drink every time you spot a recycled Doctor Who prop.
* Drink every time the Liberator crew have their teleport bracelets confiscated or otherwise rendered inoperative.
* Take a shot for every ship The Federation sends against the Liberator. (usually doesn't exceed 3)
* Down the bottle every time somebody calls Servalan a "sexy bitch"

Oh, and you can also take a drink every time you spot a costume that features metal studs or diamond-shaped quilting.

2) 300 isn't science fiction or even fantasy
3) If you're gonna list 300, you might as well include Troy because gods were supposed to be in that one and my rules for the Troy drinking game are thus: Anytime any character speaks of how their place in history or through the ages, you have to take a drink. Your first will actually occur in the friggin' pre-credit narration.

Troy drinking game rule:
any time the camera does a cutaway reaction shot to peter o'tool you have to take a drink.

I'm pretty sure following the 'drink every time the sonic screwdriver is used like a magic wand' rule would kill you.

I also did one for Twilight. I'm still recovering.
