Kiefer Sutherland is making students sick after learning of a college drinking game related to his hit show 24.
Students must take a shot of a chosen tipple every time Sutherland‘s character Jack Bauer says, ‘Damn it!’ and when the actor heard about the game, he decided to play along.
He reveals he started saying the soft curse phrase as many times as he could–including three times in succession.
Sutherland explains, “Boom, boom, boom, and that was just one scene. By the end (of the episode) there had to be 14 ‘Damn its.’
“I could just see all these college kids going, ‘Oh f**k!'”
Sutherland Concerned About His Drinking Habit
Actor Kiefer Sutherland wishes he could control his drinking binges because he’s tired of waking up with no recollection of what happened the night before.
The 24 star accepts he has a reputation as a heavy boozer, but insists he only turns to alcohol to unwind.
He says, “It’s selfish and self-absorbed and it’s a dangerous thing, thinking that if you work really hard, you should be able to reward yourself by going out and getting s**t-faced.
“I should be able to wake up in the morning without going, ‘Oh, no! Where’s my boot?’ or ‘Where am I?’
“It’s not a very clever way to live, and I don’t want to live like that, but it’s the kind of trade you have to make.”

My buddy lived in LA for a long time and said a lot of people had really good Kiefer stories as he goes out a lot, often alone, always eventually if not already very drunk. He had a good story himself:
Him and his buddies were at a bar when suddenly everybody gets free shots. The bartender says the round was apparently bought by Kiefer Sutherland who is out on the back patio. One of my friend’s buddies is a huge fan and figured this is a good way to meet Kiefer, literally just to say thank you to him for the round. They wait a little bit in case other people have the same idea and then go out to find him. He’s indeed on the patio sitting with another person. My buddy’s friend kind of gently goes up and says “I’m really sorry to interrupt, but I just want to say thanks for the round”. Kiefer stops and turns in his chair, looks at him, grabs his hand and pulls him in really close, just stares up at him from his chair for a little bit while holding his hand, and then says “Any. Fucking. Time.” while slapping his face REALLY hard in a front hand-backhand-front hand motion with each word.
Apparently it was hard enough to leave his face red for the day.

The drinking game version we always played was when he said “we’re running out of time”

So I guess this inspired the "but, uhm" episode of How I Met Your Mother
