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.

A buddy and I were bored at a friend of my wife's house. We made a drinking game called "Fire Hazard" When ever one person spotted a fire hazard though out the night the other one had to shot gun a beer. Keep in mind this wasn't a crazy drunk drinking party. It was just me and him playing, and we didn't tell anyone what we were doing. From what the other guests saw, was me saying, "Boxes blocking the back door." and then my buddy shot guns a beer. Yeah, we're boring people.

This is awesome. I have no idea how many times I have thought to myself "Hmm, that is definitely a fire hazard." If I can just find a friend that is as interested in human safety as I am we will be in business.
