== Characters ==
* Squall
** Take a shot every time he says "Whatever".

** Take a drink whenever he does an inner monologue with a gray text box.
** Take a drink every time he facepalms.
** Drink in celebration when Squall gets a SeeD promotion.
** Take two shots every time your playstyle forces Squall to act out of character and thus get a SeeD demotion.
** Drink every time his text boxes reveal a negative opinion of Laguna.

* Rinoa
** Drink every time she adopts her [[Coy Girlish Flirt Pose]].
** Drink every time she needs to be rescued.

* Quistis
** Take a shot every time she predicts what Squall is going to say and laughs.
** Take a shot every time one of her limit breaks looks illogical even from [[Final Fantasy]] standards, like eyes lasers or shooting missiles from her hands.

* Zell
** A shot every time he goes into the standing animation where he's twitching with excitement or anger.
** Drink every time someone refuses to shake his hand or otherwise visibly snubs him.
** Drink every time he appoints himself [[Mr. Exposition]].

* Selphie
** Take a drink every time she does her cute little eighties victory jump outside of winning a battle.
** Take a shot when she suggests a ridiculously violent solution to a problem.

* Irvine
** Take a drink every time he does his hair flip.
** Take a drink whenever he hits on anyone.
** Take a drink when you realize that Irvine is basically Squall with diametrically opposite coping mechanisms. 

* Laguna
** Take a drink time he gets a leg cramp at a critical moment.
** Drink every time he misuses or [[Metaphorgotten|loses track of]] a metaphor.

* Kiros and Ward
** Take a drink every time they snark at Laguna.

* Seifer
** Take a drink when he waves his sword around outside of battle.
** Take a shot when he calls Zell "Chicken-Wuss".
** Take a drink for every instance of [[Foe Yay]] with Squall.

* [[It Makes Sense in Context|FUJIN]] and Raijin
** Take a shot for every word Fujin says in caps. Every word.
** Take a drink every time Raijin says "Y'know?" No Raijin, I don't know.
** Take a drink when Fujin kicks Raijin.
** Finish the beverage when Fujin drops the shtick and gives her speech to Seifer about [[Took a Level in Jerkass|how much of a dick he's turned into]] near the end of the game.

== Guardian Forces ==
* Drink in celebration when you get a new GF.
* Finish the beverage when a GF reaches max compatibility with any character.
* Take a drink when a GF learns a new ability.
* Take a shot when a GF learn a new ability you didn't want it to because you forgot to reset what they were learning.
* Finish the beverage if your GF ever learns two abilities at the same time under these circumstances: One you were grinding out, the other is what the game defaults to after you've learned an ability, so it's where your "overflow" points go at the end of very specific battles.
* Take a drink if the animation for Eden's "Eternal Breath" attack made you shit your pants in sheer terror.
** Take two drinks if it wasn't the animation that scared you, but the fact that the attack could [[Game Breaker|break the damage limit.]]
* Drink in celebration every time Odin or Gilgamesh pulls out a Zantetsuken.

== Weapons ==
* Take a shot when you get a new weapon for anyone.
* Take two shots when you make the ultimate weapon for anyone.
* Finish your beverage, get another one, and drink the whole thing when you get the Lion Heart. 
* Drink yet another full beverage if you [[Game Breaker|get it on]] [[Disc One Nuke|Disc 1]].
* Take a drink every time weapons are whipped out outside of the actual battle screen.
