I've only ever heard it called pre-gaming. Pre-drinking doesn't sound right.

This is the first time I've ever heard it called pre-gaming, I've always heard and used pre-drinking.

Pre-gaming for anything...

Drinking before the game = pre-gaming
Drinking before the bar = pre-gaming
Drinking before a wedding = pre-gaming
Drinking before a funeral = pre-gaming

Pre-drinking. Pre-gaming is used to refer to taking a dump before the game.

Getting primed, or priming up. I've heard pre-drinking but not pre-gaming.

Depends on the context

It's only pre-gaming if you're drinking before playing, not watching.

The term pre-drinking just makes me think of George Carlin and his "Pre-boarding" routine. You can't be pre-anything that you are currently doing.
