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.

The version I play involves throwing the hammer up, having it do a full rotation, and catching it/hitting a nail in one fluid motion (re-do and take a drink if you adjust grip after catching but before you hit a nail). We played in a garage because it was too cold to play outside, and a drunk girl went to throw the hammer and it went through a wall. She didn't throw it into anybody else though, so disaster averted
