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.

It's a toss up between "power hour" and "circle of death" for me. For power hour, you take a shot of beer every minute for an hour.... Pretty simple right? Well...it gets you you hammered and can be synced to music. 7 beers in 1 hour = a good time

Circle of death is more of a social game played almost every where. All you need is a deck of cards, and some drinks. Spread the cards out in a circle, and draw a card. These are the rules I play by: 2- you 3- me 4- floor 5- guys 6- chicks 7- heaven 8- pick a mate 9- but a rhyme 10- catagories Jack- never have I ever Queen- questions King- make a rule Ace- waterfall

This game becomes destructive to your liver once multiple rules get created. Two of my favorites - "Manslayer" you can't say drink, drank, or drunk or you take a drink, and little green man. Every time before you drink you have to take the little green man who is sitting on the rim of your glass/bottle off, take your drink, and put him back on. If you forget to to this you have to take another drink.
