Back to School Drinking Game Rules
The Back to School drinking game turns Thornton Melon’s wild college run into a lively movie night. Join the rich freshman as he buys his way onto campus, clashes with Dr. Barbay, charms Diane, and throws parties that leave Grand Lakes buzzing. Rodney Dangerfield’s rapid jokes keep the pace moving throughout this 1986 comedy.
Watch for famous cameos, loud lectures, family drama, and the final diving meet. Use small servings, drink water, and pace yourself during the 96-minute film. A nonalcoholic drink works just as well.
