The Great Scrabble Drinking Game

Last weekend Kirsten and I got out a couple of board games to play in the evenings instead of watching television or surfing the Internet (you'll notice it's a Friday night as I post this...you know...on the Internet.  We fell off the wagon fast).

Anyway, we played Scrabble and I got totally skooled.  Like, 395-100 or something.  But the upside was that I found an old notepad on which I had scribbled, probably a little drunkenly, something I called "The Great Scrabble ® © Drinking Game."

So, without further ado (4 points), I present the rules to same:

The Great Scrabble Drinking Game
1. One drink all around on the opening word.
2. One drink for every "S" or "ED" appended (14 points) to an existing word.
3. Two drinks for every triple word score.  One drink for every double word score.
4. One drink for the use of X, J, Q, or Z.
5. Two drinks for Q without U
6. Two drinks for bingos.
7. One drink for passing on a turn, or drawing on a turn.
8. One drink every time an opponent says, "Dammit, you took my spot!" or some similar ejaculation.
9. One drink for reading rule #8 and giggling.
10. One drink if your score ends in 69, and for every 69-point word.

Good luck getting blitzed!(69 points, take a drink!)
