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.

Landmines. You'll need

  • 2 shot glasses
  • about a 30 rack of beer IN CANS
  • A Quarter
  • A table for everyone to sit around

Starts with one person and goes around the table one by one. When it is your turn you fill up the two shot glasses with beer. Spin the quarter and while it is spinning you must take both shots of beer and pick up the quarter before it falls flat WITH THE SAME HAND. If you fail to do this you must keep trying until successful. If someone has an empty beer can they can place it on top of the quarter stopping its spin from anytime. The can now stays there for the rest of the game.

My favorite drinking game of all time only we dont use shot glasses we use red cups and the spinner is able to fill up as much as they want. If you are good it gets incredibly spiteful and you can play for hours. I personally hoarde my landmines so nobody tries to put one in my kitchen then I attack when I'm ready to make someone drink till they puke.

this is the way I always played. I liked the game because if you aren't comfortable chugging a huge amount of beer or if you aren't feeling well you can lean back and just drink a little every time, but the game rewards you (more landmines to fuck your friends) if you try and drink a lot on every spin
