npm drink
Just submit a noun, and if it's an NPM package take a drink.
Warning, this is extremely hazardous to your liver and alcohol supply unless you're already imbibing by the tanker truck. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Uh?
Why is this an interesting way to drink? You put in 'cat', it says, 'have a drink'. Thats it.
Getting drunk with a dictionary is the least interesting thing I can think of!

Yes, but it's on the internet so it must be fun.

That's pretty cool. It's fun to see the description of what inspired people to think of the name

A similar "game":
Old PDP-11 guys can tell you about a classic ASCII editor (probably TECO - I never worked on PDP-11/TECO myself) where every letter you typed when in command mode activated some operation.
Having a name which, when typed in as editor commands, lead to a meaningful sequence of operations put you in a very special gruop of people. To earn the gold medal, you should have a full first and last name, typed in sequence, giving a meaningful set of operations. First or last name alone was not quite as presitigous, but it would still earn you significant respect.

Yep, definitely TECO. I used it, a lot, on PDP-11's and VAXen(*).
(*) Yes, Ravi, I know that VAXen had EDT. There were special circumstances.

Real programmers used TECO to edit their Fortran-77 programs.

Hah! Real programmers used This[^] (Detail[^]) to code FORTRAN!

Been there, did that, my first two years of college. Punch cards using this[^], rather than the hand punch, but still. I even had to do a couple floor sorts in my day.

We only had six or eight of those for all four years of the CS course at my Uni so the queue was alwasy hours long - you could write your code on FORTRAN coding sheets[^] and submit them to the "typing girls" who would punch it for you, but they took days to get round to it, and weren't very accurate. So I learned to use a hand punch and read holes!

We had a guy in my data structures class who was blind. He knew how to read punch cards by feel. He said it was a PITA compared to Braille because the holes were spread out so far and the holes didn't "register" as well. He would lay a card on a piece of cloth and run his finger over it, feeling the bit of cloth protruding up through each hole.

Yeah, I used it, too. It was good discipline for writing concise programs.

My biggest program at school was something around 2300 cards, which was a bitch to carry around. A standard box was only 2000.

Another "serious" story:
Several years ago, I saw a short notice in our local newspaper about a guy who had gone wild after consuming about 25 half liters (roughly: 25 pints) of beer.
I mentioned this to a friend of mine, whose father is a policeman. He revealed that this case had caused an argument at the police station: Is it possible to do anything at all - violence or otherwise - after consuming 25 half liters? Some of the police officers are real "beer hounds". One of them insisted that 25 beers should be no problem! So his colleagues told him: On your next night off, you show us! If you do it. we'll pay the beer, otherwise you'll have to pay yourself whatever you can manage.
His colleagues ended up paying for the beer. That is not what impressed them the most, however: This beer hound took sixteen half liters before his first turn to the toilet!
(Maybe not too surprising: After that, his turns to the toilet were quite frequent.)

You get a drink for "hardware", but not for "software"! What gives?
