Drinking Games: To spice up a house party, we add music, talk, dancing lights, and a slew of other stuff. But how can you make it even more awesome? Yes, you guessed it. Drinking contests! That’s how you do it! So here are ten drinking games that will liven up any gathering:
List of 8 Fun Drinking Games
1. Most Likely
Everyone sits in a circle and one player asks a “most likely” question, like “Who would be most likely to accost Channing Tatum in public?” or “Who would be most likely to eat someone else’s sandwich from the refrigerator at work?”
On the count of three, everyone points to whoever they think would be most likely to do whatever act was mentioned. You have to take a drink for every person who’s pointing at you (so if seven people think you’d accost Channing Tatum, you have to take seven drinks).
2. Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a great game to know your friends’ secrets! You have to share something that you have never done before and the people who have will take a sip of their drink. For example, when I say, “Never have I ever been arrested,” all those in the group who have been arrested will have a drink. The key here is to make your friends admit their embarrassing stories so watch out for what you say!
3. Back to back
Two people in your group stand back to back, drinks in hand. The rest of the group ask them a ‘Who’s the most likely to….’ question, and which ever member thinks they’re the most likely to, drinks. If one of them drinks, you ask the next question. If they both drink, they both have to drink again. If neither of them drink, they also both have to drink again.
4. Straight Face
All players write sentences on small pieces of paper. What kind of sentences? Ones that are ridiculous or inappropriate; ones that anyone would struggle to read (or hear) while keeping a straight face.
One at a time, each player will choose a slip of paper and attempt to read whatever is written on it without giggling or cracking a smile. If they fail, they have to drink.
5. Thumper
This is a quick, easy game for the time when people start falling asleep! All you need to do is sit around a table and pick a hand motion for yourself. You could choose a victory sign or let your imagination run wild (or dirty 😉 ). Everyone thumps at the table and the game begins. You start your hand action and then do someone else’s action, while the others continue thumping.
Now, the person whose hand action was done repeats his action, and of the one whose turn he wants next. Whoever messes up or takes too long to react, drinks. To make the game more fun, you could also make a sound for everyone and do the action AND the sound. Get it?
6. Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a good starter for a house party. There are two teams competing against each other. Both teams stand on opposite sides of the table and keep their cups with drinks at the edge. Everyone must finish their drink and flip the cup with there fingers to the upside-down position before the next member begins. First team to complete this wins.
7. I’m Going to the Bar
Did you ever play the game I’m Going on a Picnic? This is like that…only with drinks. The first person begins by saying, “I’m going to the bar and I need to get a mojito” (or any other alcoholic beverage). After that, the ensuing players repeat the drink that the previous players said… but add another drink to the list as well.
Here’s an example of what you’d have to say a few rounds in: “I’m going to the bar and I need to get a mojito, a tequila shot, a gin and tonic, and a hot toddy.” You keep going and going until someone messes up; whoever messes up first takes a shot.
8. Concoctions
Here’s a game for people with strong stomachs. Get some dice and have everyone head to the kitchen. One at a time, players roll the die. If you roll a four, the other players will put together a little “treat” for you made up of four items: for instance, a Dorito chip topped with a bit of mustard, some onion dip, and an M&M. Will you eat it? If you do, *they* have to drink. If you won’t, *you* have to drink. Bon appétit!
