To jazz up a house party, we add music, conversation, dancing lights, and a slew of other things. But how do you make it even more awesome? You guessed correctly. Drinking contests! That’s how it’s done! So here are ten drinking games that will liven up any gathering:
1. Card Drinking Game – Kings Cup
What you’ll need: drinks and playing cards
This is a card-drinking game. The Kings Cup is best enjoyed with a large group of people. Every time you draw a card, you must follow the instructions on the list below. The more inebriated, the better!
2. Never Have I Ever
What you will need: Drinks
Never Have I Ever is an excellent game for learning your friends’ secrets! You must share something you have never done before, and those who have will sip their drink. For example, if I say, “I’ve never been arrested,” everyone in the group who has been arrested will drink. The key here is to get your friends to admit to their embarrassing stories, so be careful what you say!
3. Jenga Drinking Game – Drunk Jenga
Drinks and Jenga are required.
Drunk Jenga is similar to regular Jenga, but each of the 54 Jenga blocks has funny and crazy challenges written on it. The trick is to take one block from the set pile of blocks and place it on top of the pile with one hand. If the stack collapses, you chug your drink, pick up two blocks, and finish the challenges.
4. Thumper
Drinks are required.
This is a quick and simple game for when people start falling asleep! Simply gather around a table and choose a hand motion for yourself. You could choose a victory sign or let your imagination run wild. The game begins with everyone thudding at the table. You begin with your hand action and then perform someone else’s action while the others continue to thump.
Now, the person who performed the hand action repeats his action, as does the person whose turn he wants next. Whoever makes a mistake or takes too long to react drinks. To make the game more interesting, make a sound for everyone and perform both the action and the sound. Get it?
5. Maintain a Straight Face
Drinks are required.
It’s difficult to keep a straight face when you’re drunk, and this game tests you on that. You write amusing or inappropriate sentences on small pieces of paper that are difficult to read while maintaining a straight face. Each player takes a chit of paper and tries to maintain a straight face. Anyone who laughs or reacts must drink!
6. Flip Cup – Two-Player Drinking Game
Drinks and cups are required.
Flip Cup is a good way to start a house party. This is the best drinking game for parties, but you can also play it at Christmas, so we can call it a Christmas drinking game. Two teams are competing against each other. Both teams stand on opposite sides of the table, with their cups of drinks at the table’s edge. Before the next member can begin, everyone must finish their drink and flip the cup with their fingers to the upside-down position. The first team to finish this task wins.
7. Buzz
Drinks are required.
In one of the simplest games, each player begins counting a number and says it aloud, except 7 and its multiples, which you say buzz. You drink if you don’t. Simple!
8. Most likely
What you need: Drinks
The group forms a circle and asks a question about what is most likely. For instance, “Who is most likely to fart in front of strangers?” After three counts, everyone points to the person they believe is most likely to do so. The person with the most fingers pointed at them consumes the most drinks.
9. Bite the Bag
This is a fun game that I plan to play this weekend. So you keep a bag on the ground and take turns leaning and picking it up with your mouth only. Keep in mind that no hands are permitted. You must drink if you are unable to pick up the bag. With each round, an inch of the bag is chopped, and this continues until only the bottom of the bag remains.
10. Attached at the hip
This game is a great icebreaker for your guests and will bring them closer together, literally! So you scribble body parts on scraps of paper and assemble them. Everyone forms two-person teams and selects two chits. They must ensure that the body parts mentioned in the chits touch or are ‘attached’ for as long as possible. They take a shot every time someone separates.
