Setup
Queue up a Yellowstone episode on your streaming service and make sure everyone has their drink of choice within arm's reach.

If you're playing with a larger group, agree on a signal (like raising your glass) to ensure everyone catches drink triggers like horse scenes or family tension.
How to Play Yellowstone Drinking Game

- Drink for Beth drinking
Tips & Strategies
Pay attention during quiet scenes; they're often preludes to major threats or family tension. If you're watching with a group, keep an eye out for Beth drinking,she moves fast, and it's easy to miss. For landscape shots, count the seconds it lingers on the screen before deciding if it warrants a drink,long, scenic pans definitely qualify. During violent scenes, get your drink ready early, as they tend to escalate quickly into a 'finish your drink' moment.
Variations
Double your drinks whenever Beth is drinking, but skip all other triggers involving her to avoid overdoing it.: Drink twice for any horse scene and add a new rule: take a drink any time a gun is drawn or fired.: Every time someone gets branded, instead of everyone just drinking once, the group toasts and drinks three times to honor the initiation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What counts as 'family tension'?
- Any argument, glare, or passive-aggressive comment between Dutton family members qualifies. If two or more family members argue, it's definitely a drink.
- Does Beth's drinking include scenes where she holds a drink but doesn’t sip?
- No, you only drink when Beth is actually drinking. Watch closely,she's good at multitasking with a glass in hand.
- What if someone is branded off-screen?
- If it's explicitly mentioned, everyone still drinks. Off-screen branding counts as long as it's part of the scene or dialogue.
- Do you drink for every single landscape shot, even back-to-back ones?
- No, consecutive shots of the same landscape count as one trigger. If the scene shifts to a new iconic view, that's a new drink.
