Some friends and I accidentally invented a drinking game from the famous Twenty Questions. The Questions are one of the tools used within the AA community to help people out with Step One, recognizing that they have a problem.

So that puts the game in pretty bad taste. Everyone replaces the word ''drink'' with something else. You work around down the questions, and you take a drink every time the answer is No.

Please do not play this game with any alcoholics. I know diagnostics shouldn't be ironic, but if you play with the word ''drink,'' and you come out sober, please consider that you may have a problem. Actually no matter what word you play with, sobriety is diagnostic. Here are the Twenty Questions, with the word ''drink'' ad-libbed out:[http://www.winternet.com/~terrym/twenty.html]
#Do you lose time from work due to your _____ing?
#Is _____ing making your home life unhappy?
#Do you _____ because you are shy with other people?
#Is _____ing affecting your reputation?
#Have you ever felt remorse after _____ing?
#Have you gotten into financial dificulties as a result of your _____ing?
#Do you turn to lower companions and an inferior environment when _____ing?
#Does your _____ing make you careless of your family's welfare?
#Has your ambition decreased since _____ing?
#Do you crave a _____ at a definite time daily?
#Do you want a _____ the next morning?
#Does _____ing cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
#Has your efficiency decreased since _____ing?
#Is _____ing jeopardizing your job or business?
#Do you _____ to escape from worries or troubles?
#Do you _____ alone?
#Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of your _____ing?
#Has your physician ever treated you for _____ing?
#Do you _____ to build up your self-confidence?
#Have you ever been in a hospital or institution on account of _____ing?

For your edification, the questions were developed in the 1930s, but they aren't used clinically anymore. They've ben replaced by lots of other tests with acronymous titles.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholism#See_also]
