Left 4 Dead Drinking Game (Left 4 Shots) While it may be fun to fight off an opposing army in a war game, there’s just nothing like the teamwork required to mow down hoards and hoards of zombies.  After running for your life and picking friends up, after zombies snack on them a bit, you probably need a drink or two.  Luckily, Drunken Moogle reader Tony submitted a Left 4 Dead drinking game that he and his friends play.  Rules:Play through the campaign with a group of friends.Every time you reach a safe house, take a shot! According to Tony, while there is a bit of time between rounds, the shots start to sneak up on you around the 4th round.  (Thanks for the submission, Tony!  Happy zombie hunting.)
