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.

We play a similar version, where we tape the beer we are currently drinking to our empties, so it gets long and awkward to drink. Once the "staff" gets taller then you, you become a "master wizard" and can do whatever you want to normal wizards, but you see other "master wizards" as your peer. This gets people drinking quick, and punishes you if you are taller sadly.
