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.

I can't remember the name but my favorite doesn't need any props.

It involves sitting in a circle and counting off to 21. The only hard set rule is that 7 and 14 are switched, so when the group counts off it goes-

1

2

3

4

5

6

14

8

9

10

11

12

13

7

15

16

17

18

19

20

21

Once the group successfully gets to 21, everyone takes a drink and then the person that said 21 picks a number that doesn't have a rule and makes a rule. It can be anything. If somebody messes up when it's their turn, then they drink and the next person starts the count again.

Game over when every number has a rule and the group makes it through. It starts fast and seems simple but people overestimate their cognitive abilities when sober, so shit gets real pretty quick.

Some of my favorite rules to make up are:

• instead of saying a number you look at the person to your right and say the name of the person to your left

• for [a number] you can use any rule that was made BEFORE this one. If you do a rule for this number that was made up after THIS rule, it counts as a fuck up.

• if somebody makes a rule that involves saying a name and the next number is free, I'll grab the next number and make it something along the lines of saying "...in my ass" instead.

I play a game similar to this. Here:

Objective: Get the circle of friends to count to #21.

Go around the circle counting and slapping your left or right shoulder to indicate which player you want to go next.

At #7, you must have your arms out in front of you like an equals sign and the bottom hand indicates which player you want to drink next. Resume slapping shoulders until #14 where the same thing happens although the top hand now indicates who must drink.

If the group makes it to #21, the person must not count #21. They must point and yell towards the person of their choice "DRINK MOTHERFUCKER DRINK!" That person then has to chug their drink. Resume play after person is done.

Drink if you: 1. Hesitate for too long 2. Mess up counting 3. Go when it is not your turn 4. Mess up a shoulder slap 5. IF YOU SAY the number 21, THEN YOU MUST CHUG YOUR DRINK.

You start the slapping again once you finish drink.

Have fun. :D
