Hey! Everyone loves a drink and considering the wide array of nationalities that frequent this site I bet that there must some excellent ideas for drinking games around. Why not share your best game?

Name: Circle of Death

Requirements: A large vessel, deck of cards, lots of beer.

Description: The cards are spread around in a circle with the large vessel in the middle. Players take turns to select a card and carryout the task which the card is assigned.

Cards:
Aces: Waterfall card. The card selector commences drinking, everyone else drinks at the same time. The card selector drinks for however long they want to, the person beside them can stop only when the person to their right has stopped etc. etc. - a waterfall effect.

Kings: Upon one of the first three kings, the selector pours as much of their drink into the vessel in the middle as they choose. The fourth and final king drinks the contents in one shot and the game is over. (See below for variations)

Queen: A player who pulls a queen is the 'question master'. If any player answers a question which the question master asks them - they must drink. This includes answering with an action such as nodding, flipping the bird etc. The question master remains the QM asking multiple questions until someone else draws a queen.

Jack: Pass it back. The last person who consumed a drink drinks the same amount again. If the last card was an Ace, everyone drinks again.

10: A ship came into the harbour carrying a ship load of (insert category here). The card bearing bearer says the line and choses a category eg. WWF Wrestlers and names one e.g. Hulk Hogan. Players take turns naming wrestlers until a wrestler is repeated or a player can't think of one.

9: Chin card. The drawer becomes the chin master. At any time in the game the CM can hold their chin as if in contemplation, the last player at the table to hold their chin in reply must drink. The chin card can be used multiple times by the CM until another 9 card is drawn.

8: Toilet card: No player must exit the table to use the bathroom without having a toilet card. Toilet cards may be traded, bought and sold during the game. Should a player leave the table to use the bathroom without the toilet card, they will suffer the penalty chosen my the majority.

7: Drink left. The person to the left of the card drawer takes a drink.

6: Make a rule. The drawer decides on a rule: Any rule is acceptable. E.g. A girls at the table must go and buy a shot for the boys every half hour. The rule is valid for the whole length of the game and is enforceable by the rule maker. Rules cannot cancel or interfere with other rules, multiple rules apply.

5:4:3:2: Nominate drinks. Division is acceptable. E.g. 5 can mean both five drinks for one person or 3 for one person 2 for another.


Variations: International drinking rules apply. Another use for the Kings can be: The first King choses what drink the person who draws the fourth King drawn will drink, the second King choses the place, the third King choses the manner which the drink is drunk. E.g The fourth King drawer will drink a shot of tequila standing on the bar with their pants down.

Enjoy

This could be an awsesome thread.

I have one. It earned me a full force punch in the head, but it was worth it. I guess it's not so much a game a as a trick.

Well, this happened in Toronto in about 1984. Specifically, it happened in Fitzgeralds at the end of the Neville loop on Queen Street east.

It a pub. Darts are always on, and the place was cliquish. Outsiders were welcome, but it took a while to open up to anybody. I was there with a half dozen of the guys and gals on our dart team. This stranger walks in one night. Nobodies shooting on the boards. He starts talking about what a good dart player he is. We had played 'away' that evening. I had tossed a ton-eighty in each of my 301 and 501 games. On my team, I might have been as good as third, but likely fourth. I konw the owner Mills, was better than me. He was stuck on Double Bull for out one game. Well, he could shoot tops (double 20), so logically to him, DOuble Bull was Tops while on your knees. Got it. Amongst our group was a rascal or two. They start peppering him with questions about other things he can do. Turns out we had been graced by the presence of a superstar, as he was a champion pool player, billiard player, snooker player, card player. He had been everywhere, done everything, and written a book about it that nobody had ever read. Everything said to him, he could top it.

But can ya drink laddie? He can drink everyone under the table. The bartender Mills, who is also the owner, nods. So I proposed a contest. I said I can drink 6 pints before you can drink six shots. He's suspicious. Shots of what, he says. Well, Jamesons of course. No problem. Loser buys the drinks on the bar, and a round for the house. There's only about 10 people there all together. A pint was about 7cdn dollars. Jameson about the same. Still though, the tab will be about 16 pints, and 6 shots.

The rules were simple. You cannot touch the other person or his drinks, full or empty. First one finished wins.

The drinks were lined up on the bar. On go, we each grabbed a drink. He belted his first shot, and rather smugly watched me laboriously chug down my pint. He picked up his second shot. Then I turned my mug up-side-down and centered it over his last shot. He punched me in the side of the head so hard I had an explosion of little white sparkles bouncing around behind my eyes. Faced with either paying his bill, or a good thrashing for his assault, he paid and left.

Thanks for the drinks. Cheers.

I really like your number 8

[swetepete]

Oh, I know one! It's called the 'Lonesome Internet Solitary Haterz Game," or "LISHG."
You need:
a bunch of booze
an internet connection
eslcafe.com
no 'real' friends

the Rules:
Sit at your station with your booze.
Read Dave's.
1) Whenever you read something inane, take a drink.
2) Whenever you read something that offends you morally, take two drinks, and lighten up. If you can't lighten up, take three more drinks, and lighten up. If you still can't lighten up, go to sleep with the fan on.
3) Whenever you read something snotty and superior-sounding, take a drink.
4) Whenever you laugh out loud at something, take five drinks.
5) Whenever Svetlana says something mean about Americans, take a drink.
6) Whenever a religious person gets mad, take a drink.
7) Whenever an atheist teases Jesus and/or his peeps, take a drink.
Whenever somebody is threatened physically, take two drinks.
9) Whenever somebody threatens YOU physically, drink all you have, and go buy more.
10) Whenever you write something, take ten drinks while writing, and another ten before editing, and another ten before posting.
11) Whenever somebody starts a new thread about The Shootings in Virginia...
and so on.

Social Games
Try...'the Lord of the Rings' game, where you drink every time somebody cries, says 'Frodo,' kills a monster, or whenever Gandalf leers suggestively at a hobbit. If you are playing with a Kiwi, make them drink five whenever they say 'hey, that's really New Zealand, eh.'

Or...'the Trailer Park Boys' game, where you take a drink whenever somebody swears, or whenever Randy eats a cheeseburger. If you're playing with a Canadian, they drink five whenever they say "hey, like, that's really Canada, y'know, eh?"

Or...'the China Game,' where you drink every time somebody dies in an industrial accident. That's about 14 drinks per hour! Party time!

This one is simply called: Hi-low-red-black, aka Up and Down the River

One card is placed face up, 4-6 additional cards are placed face down in a row next to it.

The player has to guess whether the next card will be higher or lower or red or black. 4 choices in total. Not high and red, etc.

Here's an example.

The 8 of spades is the starting card. I choose high. The next card is the 10 of hearts. I continue. I now have to choose if the next card is higher than 10, lower than 10, etc.

If I make a mistake, the cards that have been overturned are covered, I start over at the 8 of spades and have to take a drink for each card covered.

In essence, the better you play, the higher the risk.

If I'm back to 8 and I say "high" and the next card is an 8, I have to drink double the amount of cards that are face up. You complete the game when all the cards have been overturned.

This game is easy to learn, and a real ice breaker as no language is needed. I've made quite a few friends with this game. It's also fun to play with teams. One player per team chooses the cards, but the entire team has to pay the penalty.
