Danish beer run

This is next game is another fun one to play when players are wanting to have fun, be active, and drink at the same time. This is a great game to play in the mornings of all day drinking affairs to get in the mood of drinking. It is a very simple game to play. All you need for this game is two even teams, one can of beer per person (for each round) and I recommend a place outside to play. You need a place where there’s around 25 feet of open space, this is also a place that could get dirty and spilled on, so it would probably be played best on the grass.

How to play: You set the beer cans or bottles unopened at the designated spot around 25 feet away. After the countdown the first two players of each team race to the designated spot and opens and chugs their beer. After chugging their beer as fast as they spin it around ten times, and then sprints back for the next player to go. The first team to have every player finish wins. You may want to, or need to add rules and penalties about falling, fighting, not finishing, etc. This game gets more fun after a couple rounds or when people are already drunk because the running and spinning can be difficult for some.

Pitch

This next game is another fun game to play when looking for a random game to play. This is another simple game where you can have as many people as wanting to play, as long as you have enough room for them. All you need for this game is a couple people, (I recommend around 5), a descent sized room to play in, plenty of beer, and a different colored poker chip or bottle caps. Every person needs their own color to be able to determine whose is whose.
How to play: A person picks a designated spot away from a wall for everyone to stand. Everyone will throw their chip from that spot and try and get it to land as close to the wall as possible. The person whose chip is farthest away must drink. Loser usually takes around two or three drinks per loss. The loser then determines the next designated spot to throw from. This is a very short and simple game to play to drink. It’s a good game for people who are very competitive and have some energy wanting to be active and not sit around and drink. It’s a very simple game to learn, teach, and play. The hardest part of this game may be finding enough different colored chips for every player.

Background Music

This next game is another fun, simple game that is good for people looking for a drinking game, but not wanting to move much. Any number of people can play. It is a very simple game to learn and play. All you need for this game is a TV or movie, and plenty of beer. I recommend watching TV because there is generally more drinking associated with TV with commercials and everything. This is a game that can last anywhere from two to 30 to 2 hours depending on how long you feel like sitting around.

How to play: Have everyone sitting around watching the TV or movie with a beer and every time the background music or sound changes everyone takes a drink. The amount per drink can be determined by the players. I recommend a solid two or three drinks per music change because people will normally take a little less on every drink. This is a good game for a bunch of guys that just need one little reason and many large beers to get tanked. This is a good way to get the night started when people don’t necessarily feel like drinking yet. It’s a way to make people drink while being able to sit around and watch TV.

3 man

This is another fun game for people wanting to play a little bit of a different game. It’s a simple game to play once the rules are learned. There isn’t any specific number of people needed for this game, but around 3-7 are good limits. All you need for this game is a table to play on, dice, and beer.

How to play: Everyone starts off by rolling one die until someone rolls a three. This person then becomes the three man. The game then proceeds around the circle with people taking turns rolling the dice. The dice are only passed when someone rolls something that does not require drinking. Here is what each roll means:
When dice total:
- 3: Whoever is the three man must drink. If the three man rolls this then he may pass the title to a person of his choosing.
- 7: Person to the right of "roller" drinks
- 9: Person across from "roller" drinks
- 10: Social...everyone drinks
- 11: Person to the left of "roller" drinks
Other dice combinations:
- 4 & 1: Whoever rolls this become the Thumb-Master. They can place their thumb on the table whenever they want. The last person to do this must drink. The Thumb-Master can only change when someone else rolls a 4 & 1.
- Doubles: When someone rolls double they give the dice to someone of their choosing. This person rolls the dice and must drink for that many seconds. The dice may be given to two people instead of giving both to just one person.
At any time during the game the three man can be told to drink. However the person currently rolling may not tell the three man to drink. If he does he must drink.
This is another fun game to play that is a little different type of game. For first time players it may be a good idea to write down dice combinations and all that good stuff so everyone knows what’s going on.

Beer Beats

This next game is another good drinking if you’re trying to drink a lot in a short amount of time. It is a game that can be played with any number of people, as long as you have more than two. This is another simple game that all you need is a lot of beer, and some sort of music with speakers. For your first beer you have the entire song to finish your beer. You can do anything you want to finish it, as long as it’s gone in the allocated time. The second song you have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to finish your beer. On the third song you have 2 minutes to finish your beer. As every song plays the time required decreases by 30 seconds. When you get to 1 minute you start decreasing the time by ten seconds each time to finish your beer. If you can’t finish your beer in the allocated time you have the next song to finish a new beer and the leftover beer to stay in the game. If you cant finish in the amount of time your out. The last man standing win. This is a very intense game that is good if you want a big pregame in a short amount of time. This game may take some practicing to get used too; also you may not want to eat a lot before playing because you will need all the room available in your stomach to play.

war

War is another good drinking game when it comes to two player games. Everyone has played war before so that is not a problem; the only new thing is your adding drinking to the game. This can add up to a lot of drinking for the two individuals playing in a hurry. All you need for this game is a deck of cards and some beer.
This is the same game with some added rules. As the game goes on with every loss of a card that person drinks. This adds to a lot of drinking because each player loses a card with every second. With every tie that comes about the loser of each one takes three drinks per lost tie.
This is a very simple game to play when two people are looking for a drinking game. It can be played anywhere anytime while waiting for others to get ready. It is a very easy game to play for anyone willing for a game that can be started and stopped anytime.

Create your own game

The best part about drinking games is you can create your own at any time. It doesn’t matter if they sound stupid because most things sound more fun when you’re drinking in the first place. The best part about them is they can be created out of anything. Movies, shows, cards, dice, expressions, sayings are a dew of the many different things that can be used to create a new games. These are good because most people have the same groups of games that they play every night so creating a new game to switch things up every now and then is a good idea. These games are usually created when people have been drinking for awhile and new “creative” ideas are brought to the table. These games usually only last for that night because they don’t make any sense the next day when your sober and need a game to play. The games that do make sense and are played the next day are the ones that you want to keep around and continue to teach others so they can pass it along with everyone else they play drinking games with. The key point with these is not to rule anything out. Have fun doing random things and something will come up.
