Drinking games

[bystanding backman]

its my birthday tomorrow and have organised a bus trip around a few pubs in the area, just after some ideas on drinking games that can be played both on the bus and in the pub.

Cheers in advance

A version of Bifigliano I've played goes like this

Everyone (best played with 4+ people) sits around a table etc. Game starts with person saying '5,4,3,2,1 I'm in control'. Person in control then has 3 choices:

Say 'Russian earmuff' - passes the play to the person on the right
Say 'Siberian earmuff' - passes play to the person on the left
Say 'Zoom' - play passes to the person that the person in control looks at. Cannot zoom the people seated directly next to them.
Saying 'Bifigliano' reverses the play back to the person who zoomed.

These infractions result in a scull and the game restarting (with somebody saying 1,2,3,4,5 I'm in control):

Saying something that has already been said twice in a row for a third time. Example:

Player 1: "Russian earmuff"
Player 2: "Russian earmuff"
Player 3: "Russian earmuff"

Player 3 has to scull.

You also cannot say the same thing, three times in a row. Example:

Player 1: "Zoom" (looks at player 4)
Player 4: "Bifigliano" (play goes back to player 1)
Player 1: "Zoom" (looks at player 3)
Player 3: "Russian earmuff" (player 2 is on right)
Player 2: "Russian earmuff: (player 1 is on right)
Player 1: "Zoom" (looks at player 4 again)

Player 1 must scull as he 'zoomed' 3 times in a row. A bit harder to pick up on, honesty rule may apply.

These are the general rules, may seem easy but once you get a few drinks in you, it becomes much more fun.

You can also mess around with the rules a bit and make up your own. For example:

Players must only say 'consume' in place of 'drink', 'scull', 'chug' etc. Anybody not using 'consume' must drink. (this one can really catch you out)

Can only point using your pinky etc. (another one that can be costly)

If your using cans, the little opening thingy at the top must be turned at an angle to the actual opening of the can.

If somebody can take the opening thingy off your can without you noticing, you must scull.

My favourite is spoons. Most people probably know it but I'll explain it anyway.

Have a pile of spoons in the middle, one less than the number of players. Deal out four cards to everybody(there need to be four of each number). The dealer says pass and you pass one card to the player on your left. This goes until one person has four of the same number. When a player has four of the same number s/he grabs a spoon from the middle. Everybody else then has to grab a spoon. The player who misses out on a spoon has to have a drink.

Cant beat Kings for a fun drinking game. Theres a number of variations, but the one that we play is:

You need a pack of cards, jokers included, a big jug and plenty of beer. Place cards randomly upside down on a table with the jug in the middle. Pick one at random going clockwise. Each card has a result which is:

Black 1-6: The amount of fingers of drink you give out to someone else. For instance, if you pick up a black 5, the person you choose must drink 5 fingers worth of their drink. If for instance you only have 2 fingers worth of drink left, you only have to drink 2 fingers worth.

Red 1-6: The amount of fingers you have to drink

7: Thumbmaster - the Thumbmaster can at anytime place their thumb slyly on the table. The last person to put their thumb on the table must drink the rest of their drink.

8: Waterfall - Everyone must start drinking at the same time as the person who picked up the card. The person to the left of you cant stop drinking until youve stopped (more like a wave than a waterfall i guess). So the person to the right of the person who picked the card finishes last

9: Rhyme - The person must start a rhyme and also finish the rhyme. Whoever cant do it on their turn in a specified amount of time has to drink

10: Categories - Person can start a category (eg. foods beginning with Q). Again, they must start and finish. Whoever cant do it must drink

Jack: All guys drink

Queen: All girls drink (if no girls, can discard all queens or create a rule for that card)

Joker: Create a rule card. Whoever picks this card can create a rule for the table. Whoever breaks the rule must drink. Should be something tricky like 'no swearing' or 'no pointing' etc.

King: First three people to pick up a king must put the rest of their drink at the time in the jug in the middle. The fourth person who picks a king, must put the rest of their drink in the jug and then drink the contents of the jug.

Its possible to churn through a lot of booze in a short space of time. Its fun because its completely random. You might end up getting lucky and only having one beer or so....or you may end up churning through 6-7 beers in one game and the end jug. Similarly, the game could be over in 15 cards, or it could go down to the last two.

Worst one was on boxing day a few years back, with a bunch of guys and girls playing, the jug ended up being one full beer, 3/4 full blue vodka cruiser, 3/4 a woodstock cola and a 1/2 bacardi breezer. Smelt ****ing wretched.

BIGGEST POWER SPEW OF MY LIFE

A simple but very effective one for getting everyone trashed quickly is using a deck of cards... Everyone chooses a unique number between 1-10. Everyone takes it in turn to turn over a card, when your number comes up you have to have a shot. If a Jack comes up then the person to the right of the card turner has to have a shot, queens and the person to the left has to shot. Kings...everyone shots... Aces... (this is the fun part)... The person who turned the card over gets to choose who shots, this usually results in the person who is already drunker than everyone else being targeted every time an ace comes up.

Animal snap

Each person picks an animal and before the game demostrates the sound and action of that animal - the stupider the better. eg Hippo "gubba gubba gubba" and move your arms in front of your face pretending to be a hippo. Or dog - "woof woof" and hump someone's leg.

Then you play snap except each person lays the cards in front of them not in one pile. If any two cards match then the first person who does the two animal sounds gets the cards. Everyone else has to have a drink.

One to play at the bars is pairing people up and making them drinking buddies.

Person A must by person B a drink. ANy drink they want. Person B must then drink that drink along with the buyer.

Next round Person B buys any drink for person A and both drink.

Last time we played people were buying 3 different shots for their partner and then followed it up with a beer. Then it was the other persons turn to buy drinks that would **** their partner right up.

"Roxanne".

Listen to Roxanne by The Police.
Every time they sing the word "Roxanne", one person (or team) has a mouthful. Every time they sing "Red Light", the other person or team also has a drink. Probably best to do it with beer, or you'll get pretty smashed...

Buzz?

Have a circle of mates. You have to say buzz on a number that is divided by 7 or has a 7 in it. When a buzz is said it is reversed.

Any mistake = shot/gulp of beer/other.

Easy and pretty fun.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

A very simple (and stupid) game I played when I was younger - Red or Black.

Players take it in turns to draw a card.

Red 1-5 = # of fingers to be drunk if a girl
Red 6-10 = if girl scull to finish
Black 1-5 = # of fingers to be drunk if a boy
Black 6-10 = if boy scull to finish
Any Jack = All Boys scull.
Any Queen = All Girls Scull
Any King = All Scull
Any Ace = Poor your remaining drink into "Death Jug"
Joker (one in deck) = Drink "Death Jug" then game resets and you start again.

If for some reason you miss your turn, it defaults to a full scull.

My favourite is spoons.

This game got me the worst Ive ever been, and it wasnt my fault, to start with

Had the Mrs sitting to my right, and she lost the first 2 hands, but as she was the designated driver, I snuck her my spoon both times. After 2 shotgunned Beam cans in 2 hands (after a steady stream all night) I didnt know what a spoon was... I may have lasted 4-5 more hands, Im not sure. What I do remember is my extended nap on the toilet floor

Very fun, played it GF day 2007, but the Buzz word was F**K you... because of our advanced maturity I guess

 

[superfraser]

A really easy one for the situations you're in is based around the way your drink.

I play this a lot with my friends.

Your drink must be held in your left hand at all times, and you may only use your thumb, index and middle finger to hold your drink.

Anytime you break those rules, you must scoll the remainder of your drink.

Lots of fun.

Very simple.

 

[Thursfieldness]

often used to play a similar version of 'kings'

ace - rule
two - two fingers
three - three fingers
four - four fingers
5 - chicks (if not an even mix hats/long hair/facial hair/collar/hot)
6 - dicks (if not an even mix hats/short hair/facial hair/collar/ugly)
7 - waterfall
8 - mate
9 - rhyme
10 - toilet card
j - thumbmaster
q - theme
k - pour into the middle, drink the middle for the fourth king

players must call themselves and others by their drinking name i.e optimus pint and blocker wilson or alias i.e harvey johnson and larry withershatching.
