Criminal Minds Drinking Game

Criminal Minds, the popular CBS TV show, follows the FBI's Behavioral Analyst Unit (BAU) as they track down serial killers, terrorists and other assorted crazies. Each cast member has his or her own unique quirks, making the show perfect for a drinking game. Don't worry, we left out "unsub" from the Criminal Minds drinking game-the word is said so much that adding this to the list of drinking criteria would just be cruel!

Gather up some beer, wine or mix up some cocktails - you could even play this with soda, if you prefer. When Criminal Minds starts (or you pop in a Criminal Minds DVD) and any of the following happen, take a drink. This Criminal Minds drinking game includes characters who are no longer on the show (Elle Greenway and Gideon), so if you're watching reruns, there's still a good chance of getting smashed.
