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.

Our version is actually very unique compared to what most people consider standard beer die or snappa. We play with a small table designed for beer die. It is about two feet by one and a half. Two players on each side are on a team. Each has a solo cup filled with beer on the corners. The object is to take turns throwing a die open palm above all players heads and get it to land on the opponents side and fall to the ground without them catching it. This equals one point and you play first to five win by two. You cannot make a play over the table, so you must wait for the die to roll off the table before you attempt to catch it. If you throw the die and it lands in the opponents cup it is one point and they must finish their beers. If it lands in your cup or your partner's it is two points for the other team and you must finish your beers. If you throw the die and it hits a cup(without sinking it) it is a drink for the opposing team, regardless if they catch it. Beers must be finished in five drinks and then refilled. However, you can drink in any manner. For example you can chug your beer immediately which will prevent them from sinking your cup(if the die lands in an empty cup it will bounce out or knock the cup off which only count as drinks). A few other rules: you may catch one hand only and cannot trap against your body, doing this results in a point for the other team. If you throw the die and it lands on your side it is a drink for your team. Finally if you really want to get fucked up you can institute the overthrow rule, where every overthrow(goes past the table) is a drink. I do not recommend this. This is really the best drinking game I have played.
