This activity involves consuming alcoholic beverages while watching animated films produced by the Walt Disney Studios. Participants typically agree on a set of rules that dictate when a drink should be taken, often triggered by recurring plot devices, character traits, or musical cues within the films. For example, a rule might involve drinking every time a princess sings or a villain delivers a monologue.
While the activity may appear frivolous, it serves several social functions. It can provide a structured, lighthearted way for adults to engage with familiar childhood content. The communal aspect fosters interaction and shared amusement among participants, strengthening social bonds. Furthermore, the inherent humor derived from juxtaposing children’s entertainment with adult activities can offer a sense of ironic enjoyment. This practice has evolved alongside the growing popularity of both Disney films and social drinking among young adults. The accessibility of streaming services and the expansive Disney catalog have undoubtedly contributed to the activity’s continued prevalence.
