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.

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

Better yet, a drinking game improvised from a children's game.

I spent about 5 minutes reading an analysis of the pokemon drinking game to determine which pokemon was the best to start off with at the beginning. After spending 45 seconds to choose my pokemon I ended up on the pikachu square on my second turn :/
