- "Captain's log"; two if it's supplemental.
- "Proceed"
- "Number One"
Whenever Worf says...

drinking tea; four if the tea is identified as "Earl Grey".

- A communicator isn't working or is blocked; two if it's out of range.
- Another Starship Captain or Star Fleet Command officer boards the
Enterprise.
- Every time a bridge command is handed over.
- There's a countdown; a whole beer if it's a self destruct countdown.
- The Enterprise crew avoids a confrontation instead of blasting away
with full Phasers and Photon Torpedo spread.
- Each scene in which the Enterprise actually fights (shots must be
fired), two drinks per scene.
- Somebody uses a hand phaser set "to stun"; two if it's set "to kill".
