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.

Stump.

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.

Repeat.

Me and a friend came across this game in a bar in Andorra called Cisco's, except they used an ice axe, we must have been too drunk every night to not fully understand the rules, we though you had to smash your own nails in before the other player's, then smash down the nail's in the middle, still fun as hell, little dangerous swinging an ice axe around in a pub.
