Mad Men has only been off the air for a few months, but the hype is already building for the show’s final season, which will begin next spring and conclude in 2015.
Meanwhile, Season 6 – which had fans divided: was it the best ever or highly flawed? – will be available on DVD and Blue Ray on November 5th.
Make watching Mad Men more fun (but not necessarily memorable) by playing the Mad Men Drinking Game:
Before you start, stock up on lots of booze. Canadian Club ideally, but any whisky or bourbon will do, as will gin, vodka, brandy, wine and Heineken. If you really want to get fancy, you can make cocktails.
Six seasons of Mad Men is roughly 80 hours of TV. Take the week off work and sit in a comfy chair.
Mad Men cannot live on booze alone. You’ll need food. We suggest Utz potato chips, Sugarberry Ham, Life Cereal, Heinz beans and Hershey bars.
Once you’re settled in, the rules are so simple even Lois Sadler could play along and not mess it up:
Just make sure she doesn’t drink and drive

And finally, whenever Roger Sterling says practically anything … you drink.
