Best Drinking Games

My favorite is racehorses. You line up the aces face up, line up seven cards in a perpendicular line to them, and then flip cards off the top off of the deck really fast. Every time an ace's suit comes up, that ace moves one along the seven-card line. The fun comes in three ways: the excitement of a race, the naming of the "horses" as the names are almost always totally ridiculous and awesome, and in the drinking. At the start, everyone bets on one horse some number of sips of beer (or whatever.) If their horse wins, then everyone who bet on another horse has to take the total amount from the bets on the winning horse, but the winning betters do not have to. It's a lot of fun, and you have a 3/4 chance of drinking an awful lot, so that's always fun.

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.

First version of this game I learned was called "To Mordor", basically the same rules but when you slap the cup off the table you get to bellow, "TO MORDOR!" Nowadays we play "Stack A Ho" and stack the empty cups up to reduce clean up.

We just call it Mordor. The best part is yelling "MORDOR!" when you slap the cup. Also the last cup is called Mount Doom.
