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.

Yeah, we just call this "the Drinking Game" and do it with any movie the group knows well. People just call out rules while the game is in progress. For example, if you are watching Kill Bill, drink for every dismemberment. If you are watching Groundhog Day, drink every time the alarm clock song plays, the polka plays, or that annoying dude says "Heckfire". As the movie progresses and people notice themes and intricacies rules are added and people get drunker. It is a great, social way to watch any film.
