Drinking Games: 'Desperate Housewives'

Not many US TV shows make it past 100 episodes and those which do are often on their last legs. However, ABC's Desperate Housewives, now in its fifth season, is still going from strength to strength. In tribute to the women of Wisteria Lane, DS has created its very own drinking game to add some extra spice to your evenings in with Gaby, Susan, Bree, Edie and Lynette.

Rule One - Down a shot during any scene featuring a large amount of cleavage, topless men or general flashes of nudity. Drink two if it features Nicolette Sheridan or Teri Hatcher.

Rule Two - Chug a bottle of your best wine every time Bree Hodge is featured serving or cooking food in her home.

Rule Three - If there's a tearful "I used to be blind" scene featuring Carlos and Gaby and it all gets very emotional, crack into some Tequila.

Rule Four - Each time Susan is clumsy/falls over/makes an idiot of herself in front of a man, chug a pint of beer.

Rule Five - If the housewives play a game of cards or share some coffee, have a couple of swigs of Baileys.

Rule Six - Whenever there's a reference to shoes or clothes by Gaby, down a pint of snakepint through a Jimmy Choo shoe.

Rule Seven - If at any point you think the writers are struggling to find a storyline for Katherine (Dana Delany), polish off a double vodka.

Rule Eight - Swig some whiskey whenever Dave Williams (Neal McDonough) stares into the distance and does his whole psychotic nutter act.

Rule Nine - At any plot twist (usually a baddie turns out to be goodie or vice-versa) down a triple rum.

Rule Ten - Polish off all your remaining drinks when Mary Alice Young ends the show with one of her annoying voice-overs, which attempt to add some weighty meaning to the fluffy drama.

This feature is intended to entertain only. Digital Spy does not advocate binge drinking.
