The rules are simple: When Judge Judy says any of the following, drink!

When... Judy yells "YOU'RE A LIAR!!", "STUPID!", "LISTEN TO ME!!" or "I'M SPEAKING!!"... There's a case involving two women who are suing each other over an incident involving a man who is now incarcerated... A clueless parent tries to convince Judy that their monosyllabic, hellion child is a perfect angel who absolutely did not _________(throw rocks, taunt dog, beat up teacher, etc.)... There's a case where somebody claims they loaned a friend/ex/relative a bunch of money, but got absolutely nothing in writing about it... A woman is suing her ex-boyfriend because he's unemployed, drunk and abusive, but later states that she has ___ kids with him... JJ mentions one of her books... You actually see what Byrd's writing on... A litigant mangles the English language, ex: "I seen it," or "I ain't got no..." Double shots if a litigant makes up a new word!... JJ says, "You're making that up as you go along, sir/madam"... The litigants talk to each other... A girl sues her ex-boyfriend for the bill for the cell phone that she got for him, because he had "bad credit"... JJ asks someone if they're on medication or under psychiatric care... JJ asks someone if they've been drinking TODAY... (drink...and holler, "I am now!") JJ says "get your hands out of your pockets" or "uncross your arms"... JJ says "stand up straight"... JJ says you should be supporting your child even with no support mandated by a court order... Someone owes money and they say it was a gift... Men sue women to get back "promise" or other betrothed-type rings, Wal-mart jewelry, or communal money taken from their joint banking account... A woman or man announces that they have multiple children with multiple partners and the mother claims this particular babydaddy isn't paying child support... The mother claims her "occupation" is "homemaker," and it's later revealed she's either on welfare/unemployment/support checks from other multiple babydaddies... A perfect angel child gets on the stand and JJ makes him/her cry by using the word "truth", and he/she confesses to whatever he/she lied to his/her parents about... JJ asks to see a receipt/bank statement/police report/documentation and the litigant says, "I don't have that with me today"... A couple who were cohabiting and had a nasty breakup and are now fighting over furniture they bought together... JJ informs them that courts have enough trouble untangling the remnants of legal marriages and she has no intention of wasting her time determining who bought the toilet seat cover and who bought the shower curtain... A plaintiff says the defendant promised the loan would be repaid as soon as his/her tax refund came back... The defendant says s/he shouldn't have to repay the loan at all now because s/he was harassed and JJ ascertains the "harassment" consisted of trying to get the loan repaid... Someone comes into court dressed as if they're on their way to a) clean out a stable, or b) a hip-hop club... JJ uses the expression, "Who Shot John"... JJ says, "Even on your BEST day you will never be as smart as me on my worst day"? Or any variation of same, including "You can live to be 200 years old and never be as smart as me"... A defendant claims they were given (rather than loaned) a ridiculously large sum of money because the plaintiff liked them/loved them/wanted to hook up with them ... JJ tells a deadbeat parent who claims they're out of work and therefore cannot send child support to "collect cans".. JJ mentions her "X amount of years" on the bench... JJ uses the expressions, "If it doesn't make sense it's not true"...

.....DRINK!* *The Judge Judy Drinking Game reminds you to drink responsibly.
