I really like Don't Drink And Drive. Pour yourself a mixed drink or crack a beer with a few friends at the start of a Mario Kart race. (N64 or Wii works best) The object is to win the race, but you can't cross the finish line until you finish your drink. The catch is, while you're drinking you must put down & not touch your controller, & while you race, you must not touch your beverage. So much fun at brunch with mimosas.

[–][deleted] 253 points254 points  (71 children)

Couldn't you just shotgun your drink then race as fast as you can normally?

[–]derekg1000 290 points291 points  (54 children)

that is indeed a strategy. after a few races though that big of a gap at the start might prove difficult to make up. Most people like to drink during times when they cant drive, such as falling of the track and getting put back on by the cloud man. Or you dont drink at all the whole race and just try to put as much distance between you and everyone else and then stop right before the line and chug the beer then.

[–]yumOJ 726 points727 points  (12 children)

Chug first is the best strategy because Mario Kart is a communist game and you will have every advantage if you're in last place.

[–]Incredible_Mandible 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Last place? Here, just have this thing that turns you into a giant unstoppable bullet and doesn't require you to steer!

(PS, you can drink during those 5-7 seconds just as long as you put the controller down)

[–]BeneficiaryOtheDoubt 169 points170 points  (18 children)

Everyone's gunning for you then, cause if you get knocked across the line before you finish your beer you're DQ'd.

[–][deleted] 325 points326 points  (6 children)

I love how we're talking strategy for a drinking game.

[–]yorick_rolled[🍰] 149 points150 points  (5 children)

ahhh okay. we call the Kario Mart around here ahaha

[–]NNIIKKOO 99 points100 points  (3 children)

Cell Phone Roulette. Simple and works best with good friends. Everyone puts there cell phones in the middle of the table, mix them up and grab a random phone. Look through the contact list and compose a text saying whatever you want to whomever you want. Then before sending the message, hand the phone back to its owner. The owner now has a choice. Send the message or take a shot.

[–]kapac 1310 points1311 points  (134 children)

Used to play this one when I lived in Australia, it requires a circular/spinning clothes line, which is usually outside. They look like this: http://i.imgur.com/s59sL.jpg You take a goon bag (goon=boxed wine) out of the box and secure it on the rack. Everyone stands in a circle around the rack and yells "GOON! OF! FORTUNE!" and then spins the rack. Whoever it lands in front of must skull (chug) for whatever amount of time has been decided upon. Repeat until everyone is drunk and making out.

[–]sunnydolphin 675 points676 points  (28 children)

That game is responsible for me having no recollection of the last 3 Australia Day's.

[–]mtaggs 198 points199 points  (15 children)

It's not Aus Day if you don't play Goon of Fortune and two-up. STRAYA DAY, FUCKIN CELEBRATE CUNTS

[–]Bracks3 108 points109 points  (20 children)

Goon of Fortune was the go to game at parties when I was a teen, and in later years it became a rule in King's Cup and Drenga. So many memories.

[–]RCoombe 103 points104 points  (12 children)

Never play kings cup when some fucker is drinking absinthe. It ruins lives.

[–]opm881 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You use a Hills Hoist clothesline. I love that game, great way to get smashed.

[–]BillW87 72 points73 points  (0 children)

TIL Australia has a large amount of really awesome slang, and the majority of it seems to relate to drinking. I approve, Australia. I approve.

[–]papa82 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Fuck this game is epic.

[–]mynamebackwards 87 points88 points  (19 children)

You're doing it wrong! Attach multiple goon bags to the clothesline, all different (red, white, different brands and quality) and you have to drink whichever one lands on you.

[–]ShadoeX 24 points25 points  (2 children)

And you must also have one filled with just water. That's the bankrupt.

[–]iouaname673 75 points76 points  (7 children)

We did something similar (not really) with the bag of wine. We called it the "wine titty" and made people slap it before they drank from it.


[–]Gastrox 630 points631 points  (84 children)


Get ye a group of friends, some beer (lots of beer, it goes quick), and 2 dice. You go around in a circle rolling the dice until someone rolls a 7, 11, or doubles. That person then selects the person who is to drink. A cup is filled usually about half way with beer and set in front of the drinker. As soon as that person touches the glass, the roller begins rolling. The drinker needs to chug the beer before the roller rolls another 7, 11, or double. Should they succeed, the dice are passed again and the game continues. Should they fail, the glass is refilled and they have to do it again. Sometimes this leads to a person chugging 5 or more beers in a row, which is why there is the Hero rule. At any point, any other player can Hero the beer and chug it, however should a 7 11 or double be rolled, the onus is on the Hero to chug again. Great game. Gets you blasted.

[–]MisterJingles 190 points191 points  (36 children)

I play a version of this game, but with other rules. We call it "Three Man"

First to roll a 3 becomes the 'three-man'. Every time a three is rolled, the three-man drinks. (2+1 on the dice also counts).

A "7" when rolled, gives a drink to the right. An "11" gives a drink to the left of the roller.

Doubles gives the roller X number of drinks to give out. For example, were double fives to be rolled, the roller could give out five drinks in any amount, to any person, coming to a total of five drinks.

There is the option for "suicide" where the roller would drink five drinks, then have the ability to dish out twice the number (or the actual amount) of the doubles. If a double 3 was rolled, and the roller drank three, they could then give out six drinks total.

The game goes around until the dice reach the three-man. The three-man then gets to make a rule. (Take the green man off the cup before you drink, no saying numbers, no cussing, no pointing, no saying names ect.)

House rules of the game are: Mistake: You drink Bad Joke: You drink

The mistakes get you. The game continues until everybody cannot keep up with the rules any longer.

EDIT: Some people play where you keep rolling until nobody drinks. This makes a very fast game, especially for the three-man. The dice are passed clockwise after each turn.

[–]psizzle 58 points59 points  (11 children)

Came here to write/upvote this. Fantastic game, however we always play that the person with the dice is first to act, and if the drinker touches the drink before the roller touches the dice, they have to drink and refill.

When people get drunk and the roller can fake the drinker into touching the glass, which totally adds to the hilarity of the game.

[–][deleted] 930 points931 points  (40 children)

Apparate. Who ever wakes up the furthest away from the party wins. Usually requires one to become blackout drunk.

[–]2_Parts_Malibu 317 points318 points  (21 children)

Is there any other kind of drunk?

[–][deleted] 380 points381 points  (18 children)

Something tells me you should only use 1 part Malibu next time...

[–]2_Parts_Malibu 467 points468 points  (14 children)

I don't like your tone...

[–][deleted] 544 points545 points  (12 children)

Something tells me you should only use 1 part Malibu next tiiiiiiiime

How's that?

[–]2_Parts_Malibu 425 points426 points  (9 children)

Your tone is acceptable. Your lyrics, problematic.

[–]thesouthpaw 1169 points1170 points  (363 children)


Everyone gathers around a stump with a drink and a nail, along with one hammer. Everyone places a nail in the stump. You pass the hammer around the group.

The goal is to hammer everyone else's nail all the way down. If you hit someone's nail, they drink. If you miss, you drink. Once a nail is all the way down, the nail's owner must finish their drink. If you hurt or otherwise injure yourself, you drink.


[–]2_Parts_Malibu 460 points461 points  (35 children)

You forgot that you don't just hit the nail with the hammer. You hold the hammer, and in one motion throw it up so it flips (think like a juggling club) in the air, catch it, and without cocking, hit the nail.

[–]TurnoverPie 60 points61 points  (1 child)

So this should be called "Injure yourself and drink"? I like the idea, I'll be the first with a case of beer around a stump so I can whirl hammers and slam nails.

[–]stepsonoftheclapper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone corrected him on this. Otherwise the game...wouldn't even be a game.

[–]Powerfury 931 points932 points  (139 children)

Lol where the heck do you live?

[–]2203 407 points408 points  (114 children)

I was wondering the same thing. Where do you have easy access to a stump??

[–]Iced_monk3y_brainz 850 points851 points  (53 children)

Living in northern California, this is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read. Where do you live where you don't have easy access to a stump??

[–]RockinTheKevbot 669 points670 points  (6 children)

certainly not the amputee ward of a hospital... Amirite!

[–]gloatingfiddle 59 points60 points  (0 children)

A place where they aren't cutting down trees like beavers damming the Mississippi?

[–]post- 98 points99 points  (11 children)

Elijah Wood and Jimmy Fallon demonstrate the glory of Stump: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2011/06/the-stump-game-with-elijah-wood/

(Sorry for the opening ad; couldn't find the video other than on the show's website and on Hulu.)


thesouthpaw's description made absolutely no sense until i saw this video.

Also, i thought you were supposed to go in one fluid motion. None of what they did was fluid.

[–]blind__man 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is supposed to go in one fluid motion and if you forget to hit twice it's your own fault...no redo's.

[–]vikingapprentice 40 points41 points  (10 children)

And what happens when you and half your mates are builders/carpenters?

[–]thesouthpaw 73 points74 points  (0 children)

You drink a lot more.

[–]ShakaUVM 177 points178 points  (3 children)

You get hammered.

[–]2_Parts_Malibu 39 points40 points  (1 child)

You spend more on nails and more on liquor

[–]SpicyMcHaggis 16 points17 points  (3 children)

First drinking game I ever played. Thanks farm co-op in middle-of-nowhere Maine!

[–]zildjian3 1472 points1473 points  (61 children)


Put one or two black pieces of tape horizontally on the TV. Watch Always Sunny. Drink when the tape lines up on someone's face to make a mustache.

[–]veggie-dumpling 636 points637 points  (5 children)

Addendum: don't stop drinking until the face and the moustache un-align.

[–]Flipperbw 414 points415 points  (4 children)

Even if this never happens, hey, you just watched an episode of Always Sunny.

[–]St0n3aH0LiC 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Last time we played we actually printed out a hilarious mustache and taped it to the tv, vs. just using electrical tape

[–]whiskeydude 1841 points1842 points  (221 children)

the best drinking game you can play is called Vietnam

two teams of three people on each side of a doublewide beer pong table. the US side sets up a single 10 cup triangle with refill beers nearby. the Vietnam team sets up 10 randomly placed cups on their end of the table. each side fills up their cups with 3 beers and the US starts with the 3 ping pong balls.

when the US side makes a cup, the Vietnam team pulls the cup, drinks it, and places it to the side. when the Vietnam team sinks one of the 10 US cups, the US team has to drink it, refill it, and put it back. the game ends when all the Vietnam cups are hit or when the US team gives up.

one time i made three guys drink a full case of natty light before they gave up as US, the only time ive won as Vietnam.

[–]rangerdangerd 230 points231 points  (2 children)

I played this, one thing that we added was the "tet offensive". Once all the Vietnam cups were hit, the vietnam team got to go on the attack for two minutes. As soon as they shot they got the balls back and got to keep going. It usually worked best if someone was working the light switch up and down while all this was happening.

[–]uneditablepoly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ahahaha, that sounds fucking amazing.

[–]Homericus 324 points325 points  (28 children)

I think it works much better if Vietnam has full cups of beer. When we have played the USA usually ends up drinking about 12-14 beers vs. Vietnam's 10. Having Vietnam only have to drink 3 beers total is way too light a sentence.

[–]King_of_Nowhere 141 points142 points  (3 children)

This is how the game is played.

[–]St0n3aH0LiC 277 points278 points  (1 child)

If Vietnam didn't have full cups of beer it would be pointless. And if USA didn't chant "USA" and "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" if would also be pointless.

[–]theworstisover11 549 points550 points  (54 children)

I play a very similar version of this called civil war.

3 a side, north vs south, when a cup is hit the players who owns the cup drinks it and removes it, and empty cans or bottles go across the center of the table piled as high as possible, this is known as the Mason Dixon Line.

[–][deleted] 336 points337 points  (31 children)

The variation of Civil War I've played was 3v3, no turn chaos. Was quite a bit of fun

[–]JBWill 132 points133 points  (8 children)

This is the Civil War I've played as well. Endless fun and bruises.

[–]Famine07 73 points74 points  (6 children)

The type we play is 3v3, 3 cups per player, 3 ping pong balls, and non-stop, so there's a constant fight for the balls.

[–]taskmaster7 290 points291 points  (42 children)

My fraternity plays this all the time. We've added a few modifications: * Vietnam can call "bomb" once (per person) which means if you make it in the center cup on the next shot, all the surrounding cups must also be drunk. * Vietnam can call "draft", which means the US has to add another layer to the cup layout, making it a 15 cup triangle. The original 10 cups are replaced as usual, but the outside layer is not replaced. * The US can call "night vision" (again once per person) which means each vietnamese must close there eyes when they shoot, until they make one. * The US can call "(i honestly forget what we call it)" once per side where all of Vietnam's cups have to be put in a triangle, but than are scattered again after the shot.

[–]DynamiteWthLaserBeam 339 points340 points  (12 children)

I can only hope the one you forgot the name of is called "the tet offensive"

[–]taskmaster7 168 points169 points  (8 children)

as a history major, thats what i will be calling it from now on

[–]CubanNippleCrisis69 151 points152 points  (6 children)

as business major who likes to get drunk, that too will be what i call it.

[–]more_like_notre_lame 49 points50 points  (5 children)

Call it agent orange or something...

[–]reverbs 37 points38 points  (4 children)

I'd call it Carpet Bombing, or Napalm!

[–]jordanwomack 18 points19 points  (1 child)

My friends and I used to play this a lot, however with one slight variation. On the Vietnam side each cup either had a full beer or a shot of vodka with some chaser on top. We also played teams of two so when the US made one it was brutal.

[–]Great_Gig_In_The_Sky 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah! We usually throw OJ into the vodka and call it "Agent Orange"

[–]smithofadown 199 points200 points  (40 children)

Landmines. You'll need

  • 2 shot glasses
  • about a 30 rack of beer IN CANS
  • A Quarter
  • A table for everyone to sit around

Starts with one person and goes around the table one by one. When it is your turn you fill up the two shot glasses with beer. Spin the quarter and while it is spinning you must take both shots of beer and pick up the quarter before it falls flat WITH THE SAME HAND. If you fail to do this you must keep trying until successful. If someone has an empty beer can they can place it on top of the quarter stopping its spin from anytime. The can now stays there for the rest of the game.

[–]ECGiuseppe 140 points141 points  (30 children)

Baseball. Two teams of three on either side of a ping pong table. Each team has a line of 4 cups in front of them representing a single, double, triple, and home run (home run is in the back of the line). You distribute beer in the cups so that home run has the most and then decreasing amounts in the others.

Teams trade off batting. You shoot for the line and if you sink a cup, the other team drinks that cup and all preceding cups. If you miss the cups completely its an out, and if you hit the rim its a strike. If you hit the rim and a player of the other team catches the ball before it hits anything else its an out.

If you hit a single, double, or triple you move to a base. There are three cups on each long side of the table and what you do is you move to a base and whenever you want you can start drinking your base cup. A player of the other team is set up opposite you and when they see you go they chug and try to beat you in a flip cup race. If the offense player wins, moves a base. If the defense player wins, its an out. The only time you can't start drinking is when the other team's 4 main cups aren't full.

[–]snarfleufagus 522 points523 points  (261 children)

SLAP CUP. = Beer. Beer everywhere.

15+ cups in the center of the table, all with a small amount of beer except for one that's full. You have two empty cups and two pong balls. Object is to bounce the ball off the table into your cup.

If you get it in on the first bounce, you can pass your cup to anyone, who then has to bounce it in. Second try or later, you pass left. If you make it in before the person directly to your left does, you SLAP their cup off the motherfucking table as hard as you can. They grab one of the cups from the center, drink the beer, and then keep trying to bounce the ball in.

You can fuck people over if they have a cup by passing it to the person right next to them (if you make it in first try). Last person who gets their cup slapped off the table chugs the bitch cup.

[–]beebs18 55 points56 points  (9 children)

we call this Slap-a-ho over in Baltimore

[–]DJS2017 46 points47 points  (18 children)

This is called Boom in Buffalo, or at least to the house parties I go to in Buffalo.

[–]wilska 78 points79 points  (21 children)

Ah, we call this Gaucho Pong here in SoCal.

[–]Woooftickets 43 points44 points  (2 children)

well gaucho ball is slightly different; in gauchoball instead of slapping the cup off the table you stack it on the person's cup who has to drink. that way a) its less messy b) it adds extra difficulty (which i think is necessary because i can almost always get it on my first bounce if its just one cup)

[–]Rlight 60 points61 points  (2 children)

We invented this game. OLÈ MOTHER FUCKERS.

[–]GauchoIRL 28 points29 points  (0 children)


[–]hover_cake_is_off 52 points53 points  (8 children)

We call this Gaucho Ball here at UCSB (Home of the Gauchos) Definitely my favorite drinking game

[–][deleted] 317 points318 points  (83 children)

I can't remember the name but my favorite doesn't need any props.

It involves sitting in a circle and counting off to 21. The only hard set rule is that 7 and 14 are switched, so when the group counts off it goes-






















Once the group successfully gets to 21, everyone takes a drink and then the person that said 21 picks a number that doesn't have a rule and makes a rule. It can be anything. If somebody messes up when it's their turn, then they drink and the next person starts the count again.

Game over when every number has a rule and the group makes it through. It starts fast and seems simple but people overestimate their cognitive abilities when sober, so shit gets real pretty quick.

Some of my favorite rules to make up are:

  • instead of saying a number you look at the person to your right and say the name of the person to your left

  • for [a number] you can use any rule that was made BEFORE this one. If you do a rule for this number that was made up after THIS rule, it counts as a fuck up.

  • if somebody makes a rule that involves saying a name and the next number is free, I'll grab the next number and make it something along the lines of saying "...in my ass" instead.

[–]gagagita 149 points150 points  (14 children)

In California we call that "Cheers, Gov'na!". You shout it when you hit 21.

The Game of Games

[–]NotBaldwin 798 points799 points  (57 children)

Fuck the Dealer

A dealer is selected randomly. He looks a the top card and asks the person to his left what they think the card is.

If they get it right, the dealer must finish his/hers drink. If they get it wrong, the dealer must in form the person if the card is higher or lower than that persons guess.

The person must then guess again. If they are then right then the Dealer must drink half of his/hers drink. If the person that guesses is wrong then they must drink an equal amount of fingers to how numerically wrong they are. e.g they guess an 8 but it turns out to be a 10, they drink 2 fingers.

The card is then placed on the table and the game continues. it is crucial that the cards are on the table so card counting can take place!!!

If three people in a row fail to guess the correct card first or second time, then the dealer hands the deck to the person to the left of them and the game continues. The closer to the end of the deck you get, the more likely the death of the current dealer becomes.

[–]lkeg56demn 191 points192 points  (20 children)

Slight variation on this - if the person guesses the dealer's card on their first try, then the dealer drinks for 10 seconds. If they guess on their second try, they drink for 5. If the person doesn't it right on both guesses, they drink for the amount of seconds the difference is. So in your example, they'd drink for 2 seconds.

[–]Captain_Syphilis 316 points317 points  (45 children)


It's like battleship, but each space of a ship is a shot glass. You get the idea.

Note - If you have an amicable relationship with your liver, do not play Battleshots.

[–][deleted] 128 points129 points  (19 children)

I like your style. It took my roommate and I about 2 hours to make our board and ships. We scaled down the size of the carrier and left out the destroyer for the sake of not getting alcohol poisoning after only one game.

Heres the only picture I have of it.

Edit: We left out the battleship and the submarine. Apparently the destroyers are the "3 hit" boats.

[–]TrogdorDaBurninator 70 points71 points  (4 children)

That's fancy. We just use a pizza box with a grid on it.

[–]JoColeman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They played something similar in a recent episode of House. It looked like they had drawn a grid on a pizza box, then set up several shots within.

[–]hell_in_a_shell 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Battleshots would be so much fun.

[–]Horse_Glue_Knower 223 points224 points  (20 children)

With the movie Labyrinth.

Drink everytime:

1 - Jennifer Connelly complains 2 - David Bowie tosses a dwarf 3 - (most important one) anytime you see Bowie's wiener, which I call "Bow-einer'.

You are drunk within 5 minutes.

[–]dpr003 38 points39 points  (4 children)

I love this one: Put on a random Japanese/Chinese gore/horror(really any type of movie) Then drink every time "What the fuck" is uttered in the room. you will get drunk.

Anchor Man-It's been years but always a favorite. You start off with 2 teams of ideally 3 or 4. You need a pitcher of beer and 5 quarters if you have 3 players on a team and 7 quarters if there are 4 players on a team. The point of the game is to bounce 3 or 4 quarters into the pitcher. The team that bounces the quarters into the pitcher first gets to pick an anchorman on the losing team. The whole losing team has to empty the pitcher. You can keep going untill you take your lips off the pitcher-- then it goes to the next person. Finally, it gets to the anchor man and he has to finish it. Edit: spelling

[–]Kadius_Maximus 223 points224 points  (44 children)

One thats very popular in New Zealand is called Possum. In New Zealand, Possums are are pest that distintively hide in trees. So the objective is to go hop in a tree with all your beers (usually a twelve pack) and you have to stay in there unitll your finished.

[–]quiettime 439 points440 points  (29 children)

What? I thought me and my friends invented this game. We just called it The Tree Game. The four of us would climb this old, 40 foot tree, almost to the top, at sunset and share a 40 or 60 of vodka and try to climb down in the dark. Nobody escaped injury. When one of the gang died (unrelated - cancer at age 34), we decided to play the game again after the wake but the tree was cut down. We got poetically drunk next to a stump.

[–]yourprettylense 311 points312 points  (4 children)

You should've played Stump instead.

[–]quiettime 85 points86 points  (3 children)

There was a little bronze plaque on the stump - commemorating the tree. A beetle walked across it and my buddy squashed it with an empty beer bottle.

You place an empty shot glass in a pint of beer.

Everyone takes turns filling the shot glass with their liquor of choice.

Person who sinks the shot glass drinks the whole thing.

[–]wtighe02 76 points77 points  (18 children)

Shot glasses float?


I was wondering the same thing... Maybe they;re using those dinky little plastic ones. My shot glasses are thick blown glass, so they sink instantly.

[–]makked 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Nope, glass shot glasses float perfectly, rim is just barely above the beer line.

[–][deleted] 248 points249 points  (4 children)

we Irish play a drinking game called drinking, last one standing has to drive

[–]RockinTheKevbot 280 points281 points  (76 children)

Edward 40 hands. you duct tape 2 bottles of malt liquor to some jokers hands. he cant have them taken off till he drinks both.

EDIT: there are variations of this called Amy Winehands, Edward Ciderhands and this game is sometimes referred to as Beercules Source- many comments which follow.

[–]2weekstand 98 points99 points  (23 children)

Maybe this is a sign that we drink too damn much, but my friends and i do this as a social event. We ALL tape 40s to our hands. no one can take them of until they are done. If you need to piss... get help for your zipper

Edward Forito hands - same game, but it's a bottle of malt in one hand and a chipotle burrito in the other. Messy, messy goodness.

[–]internal_evil 21 points22 points  (5 children)

We play the same but have 2 variations, one is Edward Ciderhands where you tape 2 flagons of white lightning to your hand and the other is amy winehands where you tape a bottle of red and white wine.

[–]theEnzyteGuy 801 points802 points  (115 children)

We call this one Roxanne.

Split into two teams.

Play the song Roxanne by the Police.

Team 1 drinks whenever you hear "Roxanne."

Team 2 drinks whenever you hear "Red light."

The outro is a bitch.


[–]tits_hemingway 106 points107 points  (1 child)

We've done this while simultaneously playing the song on Rock Band. The guy who owns the equipment informed us we're not allowed to do that any more.

[–]neverdonebefore 453 points454 points  (28 children)

We played a similar game with ac/dc's thunder struck. Get in a circle, when you hear 'thunder' the first person starts drinking. Next time he says it, first person stops and second person starts. Go around the circle for the duration, with the person drinking changing everytime you hear 'thunder' or 'thunderstruck'.

and hope you don't get stuck with one of the guitar solos.

[–][deleted] 130 points131 points  (3 children)

My old fraternity did this all the time. If you get stuck on the solo you're screwed. That person had to go through at least two beers in a matter of thirty seconds. It was a pretty great game.

[–]ferretesquire 200 points201 points  (1 child)

I like to call this being "thunderfucked".

[–][deleted] 147 points148 points  (14 children)

Me and my friends woulds play a similar game except with Mike Jones' music. You listen to a Mike Jones song and drink every time he says his own name.

Asshole but you have hats that signify the president, vice president and so on. The asshole has to wear an 12 pack, cardboard beer hat for his reign.

[–]brad153 41 points42 points  (4 children)

Presidents and assholes. President can tell everybody lower than him to drink, vice tells everybody to drink and so on. Asshole shuffles and can tell anybody to drink only during shuffling.

[–]drew1111 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We just called it asshole because you never wanted to be the asshole except for the 5 minute rule when he can shuffle.

[–]DanTheBoxman 14 points15 points  (7 children)

As far as rules go, it all lies in the game play.

For the first hand, the three of Clubs leads. (No matter who has it.) The person to the left has to play a card (or cards) higher than a three. This, initially, is easy. Once play reaches "ace" level, pairs may be played(then trips and quads). When your turn comes and you can't beat what is played, you drink. Two's are essentially wild and automatically clear all cards in play. This makes twos very desireable. Play continues clockwise. This continues until the first person plays all cards from their hand. This person becomes the President. The next person is Vice President. The poor sap who is last to discard is The Asshole. In the version we played many times in college, the next to last is The Beer Bitch.

Now, after one initial hand is dealt, titles are very important.

The Asshole always shuffles and deals. This is very important. Because during the shuffle, The Asshole can exercise his all too brief power of assigning drinks to everyone playing. They may or may not want to do this, for fear of retribution from other players when dealing is complete. When you are The Asshole, it is very hard to not be The Asshole for the duration of the game.

After the deck is dealt out entirely, The President can ask for any two cards The Asshole has(usually twos). Cards that give The President more pairs or trips or so on can also be requested individually. In exchange for these two cards, The President gives The Asshole two undesired cards.

At the time, similar exchanges happen between The Vice President and The Beer Bitch, but in this case, only one card is exchanged.

For the second hand (and all hands that follow), The President makes the first play. He or she can choose whatever they want as their first play. Often times, this first play is a pair or a very high card, because they have already improved their hand, courtesy of The Asshole.

Play continues clockwise. If a player cannot beat the current play (such as a pair of queens), they drink. Play continues again clockwise.

If play goes around the entire table, or a 2 is played, the person who played last announces "CLEAR!" and begins counting aloud. It is now The Asshole's responsibility to pick up the discard pile. If it takes 3 seconds to pick up those cards, The Asshole drinks 3 drinks.

Again, the first person to discard all of their cards becomes The President. If a person retains Presidency for 5 rounds, they make a rule (Little Man, no numbers, etc).

This in an incredible game. I highly recommend it. Hope these rules help. I also hope they are accurate, as it has been many years since I've played.

EDIT You can, at any time, assign drinks to anyone you outrank.

Also, during the shuffle and dealing process, The Asshole must deal according to The President's wishes (such as "Deal yourself first and then away from me."). In addition, The Asshole can deal HOWEVER they wish, because touching your cards (at least for us) was forbidden until The Asshole picks up their cards. This results in The Asshole placing cards in awkward places, such as on your head or in a cute girl's top/bra. If you touch your cards, you drink.

[–]bingobangobongo17 43 points44 points  (15 children)

I have two favorites as well... The first being chandeliers. You get however many people you want to play and each person has a red cup plus an extra cup that goes in the middle. Everyone fills up their cup with as much as they want to drink and the middle cup is something that the group agrees on to drink. You basically just take a ping pong ball and bounce it into someone's cup and if you make it they drink, but if you make it in the middle cup everyone drinks and the last person done drinks the middle cup too. The second one is Galactica (I think that's right) and basically it's Kings cup but instead of normal rules whenever you flip a card it becomes a totally different game. Ex. A 2 instead of being you would be a game of beer pong, a 3 would be fuck the dealer, a 4 would be chandeliers and so on.. Both excellent for getting REAL WEIRD!


God damnit I was going to put chandelier on here. But when I play it after someone makes the middle cup you gotta flip the cup, and the last person to flip the cup has to drink the middle cup.

Either way the possibility to get obliterated is there.

While watching The Big Lebowski, you have to take a sip of White Russian everytime the word "Dude" is used in the movie. I've seen The Big Lebowski 20 times and I don't know what happens after they find the pinky toe

A buddy and I were bored at a friend of my wife's house. We made a drinking game called "Fire Hazard" When ever one person spotted a fire hazard though out the night the other one had to shot gun a beer. Keep in mind this wasn't a crazy drunk drinking party. It was just me and him playing, and we didn't tell anyone what we were doing. From what the other guests saw, was me saying, "Boxes blocking the back door." and then my buddy shot guns a beer. Yeah, we're boring people.

[–]PapitoThePenguin 119 points120 points  (7 children)

My friends and I invented a game called "This is a bad idea." You need a bottle of Jager (or whatever bottle of booze you prefer) and a few friends. Everyone sits in a circle and the first person opens the bottle. This person then professes why playing this game is a bad idea and takes a deep chug. The bottle is passed to the left and the next person follows the same pattern. If someone uses a reason that has already been used, he or she drinks and has to try again. If someone's reason isn't very good, the person drinks and has to try again. Also, people have only a few seconds to make up a reason or they must drink and try again. When the bottle is near empty, a person can choose to finish the bottle by screaming "This is a great idea!" The person has to fully finish the bottle and the game ends in a drunken bout of happiness.

This game goes by very fast and was perfect for pregaming if you had a large enough group. It was also perfect way to end up in the ER if you didn't have enough people.

[–]McAce 49 points50 points  (1 child)


That is all you need for a drinkinggame called "This is a bad idea"

[–]_Thrillhouse_ 65 points66 points  (20 children)

We play a game called "Cocaine" It's 2v2 and a mixture of beer pong and flip cup. You line up opposite of your partner on the table each with row of 4 cups. Once the game starts you just throw at your teams cups racing against the other team. Each time your partner hits a cup on your side, you chug it and have to flip cup it before you can start shooting back at their side. A simple race to the finish.

Simple game, quick game, gets you crazy drunk

[–]imafingidiot 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Everyone sits around a table and places their beer in front on them. One person begins by spinning a quarter. Then they call out someones name, and that person has to smack the still spinning quarter into anyone's beer. Everyone else can place two fingers in front of their beer as a "goalie" to try and block the shot. If the person misses, they take a drink and then they spin. If they make it, then they spin the quarter, and whoevers beer they hit has to chug until the quarter falls. Anyone around the table can flick the coin to keep it going, but if the chugger finishes their beer, they can slam it down on top on the quarter, and then whoever flicked it last has to drink. Once you finish a can, you get another beer and place the empty one next to your new one, to make your "net" bigger. Fun stuff, especially when everyone has 2 or 3 beers lined up.

[–]SpeedyPirateWench 111 points112 points  (122 children)

It's a toss up between "power hour" and "circle of death" for me. For power hour, you take a shot of beer every minute for an hour.... Pretty simple right? Well...it gets you you hammered and can be synced to music. 7 beers in 1 hour = a good time

Circle of death is more of a social game played almost every where. All you need is a deck of cards, and some drinks. Spread the cards out in a circle, and draw a card. These are the rules I play by: 2- you 3- me 4- floor 5- guys 6- chicks 7- heaven 8- pick a mate 9- but a rhyme 10- catagories Jack- never have I ever Queen- questions King- make a rule Ace- waterfall

[–]Flowerbridge 127 points128 points  (20 children)

I learned it as "King's Cup"

[–]furiousfishdicks 54 points55 points  (16 children)

As did I, though there's a distinction. Kings cup involved a cup in the center. For each of the first three kings drawn, whoever drew it poured as much of their drink as they wanted into the cup in the middle. The sucker who drew the last king had to drink the cup. And we were playing with all sorts of different drinks.

[–]Iced_monk3y_brainz 12 points13 points  (6 children)

That is how I learned as well. Wine, beer, liquor, and a little bit of milk from out straight edge friend. Fucking sucks.


I played both of these Saturday night...in Argentina. SHIT'S GOING INTERNATIONAL SON.

[–]Kaiju_15 68 points69 points  (31 children)

EVERYONE has their own set of rules for circle of death.
In our circle (going to pun hell) we put a shot of something nasty at the center of the table and spread all of the cards around it in a circle. The first person to remove a card that breaks the circle of cards has to take the shot. Our cards are as follows:

Ace: Waterfall

2: You

3: Me

4: Whores (Women drink)

5: Never have I ever (Play a 3-finger round of never have I ever)

6: Dicks (Guys drink)

7: Category (Pick a category. Players must come up with something that fits that category and continue around the circle until someone repeats or can't think of something)

8: Mate (Pick a person. You must drink any time they drink and vice versa)

9: Rhyme (Person who picks the card comes up with a word and each person has to come up with a word that rhymes with the word and continues until someone can't think of one or repeats)

10: Sentence (Play a game of one word sentence. The person completing the sentence or ruining it or who is laughing too hard to continue must drink)

J: Rule (Create a rule. All rules stack)

Q: Questions (2 options: 1- Player keeps the Q in front of them (until another Q is drawn) and any time they ask a question and someone answers it, the answerer must drink. 2- Ask a question. Last person to answer truthfully drinks.)

K: King (Find a hat. The person who draws this card is now king (until another K is drawn) and can force others to drink at will. If the king's hat is knocked off, the king must drink twice.)

[–]HeisenbergWhitman 220 points221 points  (6 children)

Drink until you can no longer feel the crippling emotional pain. Repeat.

[–]coopercons 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Hopefully this doesn't get buried, because I doubt many people have ever tried this.

We call it the "room game". The basic idea started with one of my housemates talking about drinking in his room before a party. This quickly evolved into everyone going into separate rooms and seeing how drunk they could get in an hour. This slowly became the game it is now.

Basically, you take an amount of people and either 1/2 or 1/3rd as many rooms. You write names out and pick out people combinations along with what room they get to go in. You end up with odd pairs and triplets of people going into forced socialization lubricated by copious drinking for an hour of bliss. Best friends formed and reinforced, rooms messed with, games created and played ad nauseum and the FANTASTIC meeting of all the drunk fucks in other rooms as soon as the hour finishes.

Instant party after, continue as you'd like with every other game in this thread.

[–]PurpleGlitter 68 points69 points  (15 children)

Presidents and Assholes: To start the game, deal out all of the cards equally to each player. The person with the four of clubs starts. After that, play goes in whichever direction the first paler decides. Must beat the card before you. Trump cards are twos (clear) and threes(reverse). Aces are high. Doubles beat singles, triples beat doubles. If there are three cards (for example, fives) and you have the fourth, you can play out of turn. It clears, it's a social.

Here's where it gets fun. First out is the president, second the vp, ect. Last out is the asshole. Make them wear some ridiculous asshole hat, make them drink whenever you want, ect.

[–]crocajun1003 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Presidents and Assholes is both the most complicated and most fun drinking game ever conceived. A few rule amendments we use.

-Between rounds the asshole deals the cards. While dealing the asshole can tell anyone what to do. (checks and balances at its finest.)

-While he's dealing no one may touch the cards. Touching the cards immediately demotes you to asshole regardless of rank.

-While he's dealing no one may speak to the asshole. Speaking to the asshole immediately demotes you to asshole regardless of rank.

-During the game the asshole is the only one allowed to touch the deck in the middle. Anyone else touching the deck immediately gets demoted to asshole regardless of rank.

These rules result in fast changes and make the game that much more exciting.

[–]lphiemidol 23 points24 points  (11 children)


You fill up a cup with however much beer that you want the loser to drink. Everyone puts one finger on the cup. You go around calling out a number from 0 to how ever many people there are. When someone calls out a number, you have the option of either keeping your finger on the cup or pulling it off. If the number that was called out is the number of fingers left on the cup, the person who called the number is out. Last person left loses and finishes the beer.

[–]ManicHateBall 44 points45 points  (53 children)

Beer Die is by far my favorite game. We play with a very complex set of rules and a specifically designed table. I love it because it involves playing a lot of defense and is much more skill intensive then almost any other drinking game I have played. I can go into more detail if anyone is interested.

[–]DrAwesomeClaws 13 points14 points  (8 children)

Beer die isn't a drinking game, but rather a sport which pits fantastic gladiators against one another.

Planet Earth.

Watch an episode of Planet Earth. Drink every time a new species or geographical location is introduced and every time something dies. It's educational AND you get fucking hammered!
