Let’s face it: We tune in to The Walking Dead so we can get a voyeuristic look at what it would be like to be stalked by the rotting and rancid undead. After two full seasons and the recent premiere of the third, certain scenarios, sub-plots and bits of dialogue have become synonymous with AMC’s spooky darling. While others see repetition as a sign of stagnancy, as usual, we see an opportunity to get inebriated. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to The Walking Dead Drinking Game—where your blood alcohol level is directly proportional to the on-screen carnage. All you need is a little bit of beer, whiskey or wine, and a strong stomach.
