Now that I am 21 years old, I feel it is now appropriate for me to write an article related to drinking.
Memorial Day Weekend is here and many of you are probably going to be enjoying the 3-day weekend and attending a few barbeques. Instead of bringing a host/hostess gift or contributing a dish to the party, here is a list of drinking games you can contribute instead.
Slip Cup
This fun summertime game is set up and played exactly like the classic game of Flip Cup, but with a slip n slide at the. However, the only big twist to this game is that it is played with only 1 person on each of the two teams drinking at a time and that person slides down a slip n slide, chug their drink, then go tag the next person. It's a perfect game for a hot summer day!
Rage Cage
The.Best.Game.Ever. This game goes by a few other names like Stack Cup or Chandelier and it is kinda complicated to understand at first, but after a few rounds you'll get the hang of it. The intensity of this game get higher as the stack gets higher.
[Drunk] Jenga
Jenga is originally a childhood game, but with a few sharpies this game can turn into a bunch of drunk fun! Which ever block you pull out of the stack, you must complete what it says to do.
King's Cup
King's Cup is one of my favorite group drinking game. It can be a little confusing at first, but once you figure out the "rules" for each card, it's very straightforward.
Roxanne
My second favorite group drinking game and the funny thing about it is that my mom is the one who taught me how to play. This is a funny way to get the party started as a "warm up" game, in my opinion, to get you that initial buzz. Split everybody up into 2 teams then play the song ‘Roxanne’ by The Police. Team 1 drinks when they hear the word ‘Roxanne’, and Team 2 drinks when they hear ‘put on a red light’.
Beer Ball
... Or Four Corners... I've never actually played this game, but I've watched plenty of friends play it that it is a great game to contribute to party! Each side has at least two beer cans. Then each player throws a ping pong ball at the other side. If the ball hits the can the player that made the throw chugs their beer until the other team can touch toss the ball to each player on their team then touch it to the table.
Thunderstuck
This is absolutely one of my all time favorite drinking games. Very similar to Roxanne, but to the song Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Everyone sits in a circle with a drink in hand. The first person starts drinking the first time "thunder" heard. They can’t stop until the word “thunder” is said again. Then next person begins. This continues around the circle until the song ends. As learned from personal experience, the more people the better, like at least 5 people or more. Also, R.I.P to the person who has the unfortunate luck and gets the minute and a half part.
Shot Roulette
The best way to play this game is to fill x amount of shot glasses (or cups) with vodka, y amount of shot glasses with vodka, z amount with Malibu and the rest with water. You don't have to set it up this way specifically, but it's just to give you the overall idea of the game. Once all the cups are set up, using an empty bottle of any kind, spin the bottle and which ever shot glass the bottle lands on you have to drink. The fun of this game is you don't know what you are going to be taking a shot of!
Beer Pong
It's pong, one can never go wrong with pong.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY :)
