DRINKING GAMES THAT GET THE BASH GOING

Added on: 17th Feb 2016

 

BLANK HANDS

Edward 40 hands driking game

Whether it’s Edward 40 Hands, Edward Cider Hands, or Amy

Winehands, players have a bottle taped to each hand and cannot

have the tape removed – for anything – until they finish both

bottles. Slow drinkers and those with small bladders may

want to steer clear of this one.

 

 

3 MAN

Dice on table

The drinking game 3 Man is played with two die. A player becomes

the 3 man by rolling a combo of 3 and drinks every time it’s

rolled. If a player rolls 7, the player to their left drinks; if 11, to their

right; if 9, everybody drinks; if 3, the 3 man drinks; if doubles, give

away that many drinks; and, if snake eyes, make a rule that anyone

who breaks it has to drink. When the 3 man next rolls a 3,

they must give the dubious honour to someone else.

 

 

RULE SUGGESTIONS

With so many games allowing you to add rules, here are some

suggestions: Leprechaun: Whenever you take a drink, you

have to remove the little leprechaun sitting on the rim of your glass

and return him when you finish; in number games, replace a number

with a clap or pure silence; Swear-free: If anyone swears, they drink.

 

 

MAKE YOUR OWN!

Drinking game rules

The multitude of popular TV shows means the potential for heaps

of drinking games. Agree on a set of rules before (e.g. drink when

Homer from the Simpsons says “D’oh!” or when someone on

The Big Bang Theory says “bazinga”) and let the fun begin.

 

 

NEVER HAVE I EVER

Never Have I Ever is a good drinking game to play later in the night

or when you need to break the ice. Everyone holds up three

(or more, for smaller groups) fingers. Players take turns going

around the group with each person saying “Never have I ever…” +

something they have never done. If you’ve done it, put a finger down.

Whoever puts all their fingers down first loses (or wins, depending

on your perspective). There is also a version without the fingers

where you play until people are bored of it.

 

 

BEER PONG

Beer Pong

A list about drinking games wouldn’t be complete without mentioning

Beer Pong. The basic idea is to line up an amount of cups (generally

anywhere from 6 to 21) in a pyramid shape. Players on each side of

a long table try to throw a ping pong ball into their opponents’

drink cups. If they do, the opponent has to drink the beer in that cup.

The game is over when a team has made all of their opponents’ cups.

 

 

BEER PONG EXTRAS

Beer Pong World Series

Though it’s a relatively classic drinking game, Beer Pong can be

spiced up a bit. Try out these extra rules: rapid fire, where you

shoot as soon as you get your ball back; adding a flip cup component;

and, making cups worth more (e.g. two cups for every one made)

for doing things like bouncing or throwing the ball around the back.

 

 

HASH HOUSE HARRIERS

Nothing to do with the hash some people smoke, the Hash House

Harriers run in cities around the world – from New York to Saigon

to Louisville. The group gathers to run a trail led by the “hare”,

the organiser for that week, marked out in chalk or flour.

It turns into a treasure or scavenger hunt through city and

wilderness with false trails and fun puzzles. Successful (everyone

will be successful) hashers find the treasure: beer!
