The Commitments Drinking Game Rules
Turn on The Commitments and set up a drinking game that matches the music, the hustle, and the chaos. Alan Parker’s 1991 classic follows Jimmy Rabbitte as he builds a Dublin soul band from scratch. You get big rehearsals, loud opinions, and songs that beg for singalongs. The vibe swings from funny to tense fast, so keep your drink close.
This The Commitments drinking game works best with a group that loves live music scenes and sharp talk. Sip along to the auditions, the rehearsals in the Rabbitte house, and every speech about what soul means. Pace yourself as the gigs get bigger and the band drama gets louder.
The Commitments Drinking Game Rules:
- Take a sip Any time someone says "soul" or calls the band a soul band.
- Take a sip When Jimmy Rabbitte is shown hustling, selling, or pitching an idea like a manager on a mission.
- Take a sip Each time Jimmy gives a speech about what the band should be, or how Dublin needs this.
- Drink When Joey "The Lips" Fagan drops a name and claims he played with a famous music legend.
- Take a sip When the band auditions a new singer or musician, and the room turns into a mini show.

- Drink When a fight breaks out inside the band, and it stops the music cold.
- Take a sip When someone flirts backstage, in rehearsal, or during the band’s early rise.
- Drink When Jimmy talks about soul like it is a rulebook, not a genre.
