The Due South, First Series Drinking Game Mark I - March 16, 1995 by LJC and Perri This game was born over Spring break when the authors marathonned all of Due South to date. They were viewed consecutively over a 15 hour period, very late at night, in Los Angeles, CA. Oddly enough, no alcohol was involved (unless that bottle of Amaretto consumed afterwards counts...), and the authors are ashamed to admit they came up with mark I completely sober. Ben&Jerry's however was consumed in liberal amounts. Units of Measurement one Drink = one swallow or sip. Or, if you are feeling really daring, m&m's or Reeses peanut butter cups can be substituted for beverages, if you prefer to be able to walk the following morning. And now, in no apparent order...
