Game of Thrones (opens in new tab) returns this weekend which can only mean one thing. It’s time to lock your doors, put your phone on silent, and find out if Daenerys has landed yet. If the return of Thrones feels like an event worth celebrating more than your own birthday, you might want to gather your friends together for the first episode and play our drinking game. The premiere airs on Sunday, July 16 at 9/8c on HBO in the US, and hits UK screens simultaneously at 2am BST on Monday July 17 via Sky Atlantic and Now TV. If we know HBO, you’ll need plenty of booze to get through all the deaths in the season opener, but that’s ok because we’ve got 11 Game of Thrones-themed drinks (opens in new tab) for you to enjoy too.
Scroll down for the ultimate Game of Thrones drinking game and have one hell of a Sunday evening. Oh, and before we forget, make sure you drink responsibly. The night is dark and full of terrors… like potential hangovers.
