This drinking game is designed to be played while watching the BBC coverage of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. Some of the rules are slightly UK-centric so, if you intend to play this in another country, just ignore rules 1, 5 and 19 and knock back three shots before you get started.Now, a word of warning; this game is based upon the consumption of strong alcohol. I cannot, therefore, be held responsible for you stringently following the rules of my game and drinking yourself into oblivion. Play this game at your own risk…
Requirements
1) Andrew Lloyd Webber is mentioned. Drink an entire shot if the camera picks him out in the audience.
2) Either of the hosts attempts to sing.
3) Either host pretends to be surprised at something said or done by the other in a clearly well rehearsed piece of improvisation.
4) Either of the hosts loses track of their autocue.
5) Anyone sitting in the room with you says something along the lines of ‘It’s not the same without Terry Wogan’
6) The video shown before an act contains shots of people in traditional costumes. Drink two shots if anyone is Cossack dancing.
7) You see a bear. Drink an entire shot if it’s a person dressed in a bear costume.
8) You aren’t entirely sure whether the singer is man who looks like a woman, or a woman who looks like a man.
9) A country is represented by a singer from somewhere else in the world.
10) The act involves people on stage banging large drums.
11) An item of clothing is removed on stage. Drink an entire shot if it is removed by someone else.
12) The act is bald. Drink an entire shot if they are also female.
13) The act possesses a large moustache.
14) The act is dressed in leather. Drink an entire shot if they are dressed in leather and have a large moustache.
15) If you hear a language used other than that of the nation who is singing (i.e French singing in a song by Malta). One sip per language. If in doubt, take a sip.
16) You recognise the song immediately as being a blatant rip off of a previous winner of Eurovision.
17) The song is an ode to world peace. Drink three shots immediately if there are any children on stage during the song.
18) Every time there is an awkward silence and/or miscommunication between the hosts and the people reading out the votes. Drink an entire shot if the votes get mixed up.
19) Every time you hear "Royaume-Uni? Nil point!"
20) Every time a country gives top marks to someone for geographic, political or ethnic reasons. Drink an entire shot if they give them to Russia because they’re worried they won’t get any gas this Winter otherwise.
21) If there is any alcohol left once the show is finished and you’re physically capable of coordinating the movement of alcohol from the bottle to your mouth.
A shot glass for every person playing (probably best to have a couple of spares in case people get excited).
Several bottles of Russian vodka (this is Russian Eurovision, after all!). If in doubt go with Stolichnaya.
Rules

May I suggest one to go between 16 and 17? Downing 3 shots for being sad enough to realise that a song sounds similar to a previous eurovision song :P
We used your rules for our Eurovision drinking game. Nobody can remember anything after the judging, everybody was sick at least once and we all woke up this morning in the worst pain of our lives.
You are a very bad man.
Good night though!
