I spent this year’s Christmas with my best friend in Philly and I felt it…I felt perfect.  She’s been a dancer most of her life and I spent one too many nights referencing Nina Sayers.  The obvious result are these rules for the Black Swan drinking game.

One must drink from beverage when:

  • Anyone mentions perfection
  • A human being takes on the appearance of a bird
  • You can see Lily’s tattoo
  • Feet are shown outside of ballet slippers
  • Anyone discusses Beth
  • Nina’s full name is announced or appears onscreen (call list, poster)
  • The full phrase “Swan Queen” is uttered

Optional Shit-faced Rule: You have to drink every time you see black or white.
