Tips & Strategies
Focus on scenes involving Tom Cruise; he's almost always at the center of the action and will likely trigger a lot of drinking. Keep an eye out for gadgets,any time a high-tech item is used unrealistically, it's often a good reason to drink. If you're falling behind, start assigning drinks instead of taking them,it's a strategic way to stay in the game! Also, know your stunts: argue less about 'is this impossible?' by agreeing on examples beforehand.

Theme Song Chug: Whenever the iconic Mission Impossible theme song starts, everyone has to chug until the music stops.. Mask Madness: Double drinks whenever someone dramatically removes or dons a hyper-realistic mask.
