Imagine my surprise the other night when Kiefer (Young Guns, The Cowboy Way) Sutherland personally called me up and asked me to turn his hit TV show 24 into a drinking game! I couldn’t believe it, either. For one thing, I would have expected the call to come from News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch or else some stuffed shirt from FOX legal! But no, it was Kiefer (Young Guns II, Cowboy Up) Sutherland himself! I can’t for the life of me imagine that after five smash-hit seasons keeping unsuspecting Los Angelinos safe from terrorists on 24, Kiefer (The Lost Boys, Phone Booth) Sutherland still has to do this kind of thing for himself, but if I’ve learned one thing from watching 24, it’s that you don’t say “no” to Kiefer (A Few Good Men, Stand by Me) Sutherland! So I didn’t even bother protesting that a drinking game based on 24 is probably not the most original idea in the world. I simply accepted the mission. If you’re ready to do to your liver what Jack Bauer -- the character played by Kiefer (Flatliners, Truth or Consequences, NM) Sutherland on 24 -- does to terrorists, then lock and load, you freedom-loving alkies!

BAUER POWER: “Bad news, Samwise: It’s 09:32:04, I haven’t had my coffee yet, terrorist are probably on their way to fuck with us, and I eat Hobbits for breakfast. So maybe stay out of my way.”
