Your Favorite Beer Drinking Game?

I hadn't thought about drinking games in a long time and this post got me laughing at some ridiculous memories. I had to write more (in addition to my suggestion above). I haven't played drinking games in many years, but back in the day my buddies and I had a blast playing some. Here's a couple my friends and I would enjoy.

A simple one mentioned above:
Watch Lethal Weapon and drink every time you hear a saxophone. It's absolutely fucking hysterical. There are an unbelievable amount of times when a saxophone is playing in that movie.

A classic:
Kings Cup. You need at least four people for this to be good. You could play with many more. Spread a deck of cards in a circle face down around one large cup. Each person takes a turn drawing a card and flipping it up so everyone can see. Each card has it's own unique set of instructions. If you fuck up the instructions you drink. Here's the breakdown of how the cards work:

2- Take two drinks. If you draw this card you take two drinks yourself
3- Give three drinks. You assign one person (or you can split them over multiple people) to take three drinks.
4- Everyone bends down and touches the floor, last person to bend down to touch the floor drinks. Also known as "four floor"
5- Everyone points up to the sky. Same idea as four, only pointing up. Also known as "five sky"
6- Category. The person that drew the card must come up with a category and name something in that category. Then everyone else must name something in that category. If you can't think of something, you drink. If you name something that's already mentioned, you drink. For example, I draw the card and say "Iron Maiden songs. The Trooper" and then everyone needs to name a tune by Maiden. If you stall to think about something that's in the category you must "drink while you think."
7- The person who draw a 7 must add a little bit of whatever it is they are drinking to the cup in the middle of the table.
8- Make a rule. Make up any rule you want and it is in effect for the rest of the game. I've seen some funny ones in my day. One of the classics was to say that you could not say any numbers under any circumstances. If you said that number, you drank that number. Of course, it's always funny to do the "everyone removes one article of clothing" rule.
9- Nine busta rhyme. Person who draws the card says any word or phrase. The next person must rhyme with that word or phrase. If you can't rhyme something with it, you drink. If you're thinking about something that rhymes you must "drink while you think."
10- Social. Everyone drinks one
Jack- Back. The person who just went must drink one.
Queen- Ahead. The person who goes next must drink one.
King- The people that draw the first three kings must add to the cup just like those people that drew the 7s. However, and this is where it gets fucked up, the person who draws the fourth and final King must add a little to the cup and then chug the cup. We once played this with a large group of people, all of whom were drinking different shit. The cup had OJ and vodka, straight tequilla, kahlua and milk (I'm going to puke thinking about this), Coors Light, Bacardi and Sprite (we were like 16 years old) and some other shit. The guy who drew the last king was livid. I'm pretty sure he puked afterwards, if not immediately afterwards, then at some point later on.
Ace- Waterfall. Everyone stands up and starts to chug whatever they are drinking. You can't stop chugging until the person that drew the card stops.

When you're cool with getting a little funky:
Name of the game is Smile. You sit around a table. Someone is randomly assigned to go first. They go under the table. They can do whatever they want while under the table. First person above the table to smile loses. The must take a shot of hard liquor and then they go under the table and the game repeats.

Another classic:
Drug Dealer. You need at least six people for this game to be good. You take all the 2s out of a deck of cards, one jack and one ace. If there are more than six people add in other numbered cards of all suits starting with three. Shuffle the cards and put them face down on a table everyone is sitting at. Everyone takes on card, looks at it themselves, memorizes it and puts it back. Each card represents a role. If you get the jack, you're the cop. If you get the ace, you're the drug dealer. If you get a number card, you're a drug buyer. Everyone sits in silence. The person who drew the ace must wink at someone. They can take as long as they want to do this, but they must eventually do it. If you are winked at or you see the wink being made, you must at some point say out loud "A deal has been made." At this point, whomever is the cop (the jack) must reveal themselves. They must then guess as to who the drug dealer is. If they guess right, the drug dealer takes a shot of hard liquor. If they guess wrong, they have to take the shot. All the number card people take a sip of whatever they are drinking. The trick is to not wink at the cop if you get the ace.

The best of all time:
But the best of all was this one my buddy showed us after getting back from a year in France. Way too hard to explain, despite it's simplicity. It involves a huge crowd of people all chanting banging on a table in unisom with the banging getting faster and faster. Before the banging begins everyone chooses a hand signal or facial expression unique to them for the game. Someone begins the banging and starts the chant. I've seen variations of chants in this game. Our chant was Tatti Tatti Montana (ta-tee ta-tee moan-ton-a, like Tony Montana). It's chanted over and over again while banging on the table. Both the banging and the chanting increase in speed as the game progresses. Not sure why we used this chant, but we did. The person who begins throws up their own personal gesture when they say the first "Montana" and then on the second "Montana" they do the gesture of someone else. The person whose gesture was used must now do the same (there own gesture on the first Montana and someone else's on the second). This continues until someone fucks it up by either forgetting their own signal or someone else's. Remember, the pace is always getting faster and faster (and louder). And people are slamming the table as it goes. This game sounds absolutely ridiculous and it is. It sounds too complicated. It's not. It's very simple and it's absolutely hysterical. I've laughed so hard playing this game that my abs hurt the next day.

 

I saw plenty of mentions of quarters, but no mention of a derivation we used to play in college, which I much preferred:

Chase Quarters (which in some circles was known as "Speed Quarters").

You get a bunch of people around a table (ideally 8 or so). Everyone has a beer. You have two glasses, two quarters. They start on opposite ends of the table. Each person with the glass in front of him/her has to try and bounce the quarter in their glass. You miss, you take a sip of beer. When you make it, the glass moves to the next person, clockwise, then that person tries to get the quarter in. If one glass catches up to the other, the person who got "caught" in the "chase" has to chug what's left of their beer - and then you start the next round. . . .

If you have a big table and more people, you can add glasses - i.e., play with 3, or even 4 glasses going at once. That way the glasses catch each other much more quickly. . . .

It was much more social than quarters, as everyone was pretty much involved at all times (or about to be). As with most drinking games, losing begat more drinking which (generally) begat more losing, which begat more drinking. . . and so on.

 

When I would golf with certain friends, the way it worked was this:

The loser of a hole (i.e. he with the highest score) had to chug a beer before it was his turn to tee off at the next hole. If you lost the first few holes, it tended to make for a long, drunken day.

 

another vote for asshole, plus the dice game "three man"...

 

Best: Beerpong
Worst: Edward 40 Hands
edit: tied for worst: Case Race. Guy in my frat would dump out his half into the dog bowl to "kill the fizz!"

 

This game is called "thumper." If anyone has ever watched BeerFest, this game was featured in the movie during the Beer Olympics final showdown between USA and Germany. From personal experience, this game is an absolute riot at frat parties

 

Three man was fun times.

 

Beer Pong. I will happily forego a night of drinking fine ales for swilling lager in a beer pong match. Especially if I get to destroy douchebag fraternity bros. or anyone else douchey for that matter.

Others: Indian poker was kind of fun. Kings Cup is terrible.

 

Beer pong, Kings, Beersbie, Screw the dealer, Power hour...

 

We used to play a lot of three man in college, except we called it "hat man" because the three man had to wear a hat. That can be a brutal game. Used to play a lot of quarters too.

Probably haven't played a drinking game since then.

 

Cardinal Puff

If you've heard of this or played it please PLEASE tell me.

 

Asshole always has a fond place in my heart. You just have to get ground rules straight before you play - can I go out on a 4/social, etc.

Haven't read through the other threads, but Trap (basically Uno rules with a standard deck where skips are "drink and draw til you can go") is a good easy games. Also High/Low.

 

I always liked to watch the movie, What About Bob?
Every time they say the name Bob you drink. It gets a little tough during the part of the movie where Bob is lost in a forest and 3 people are looking for him saying Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob!!!

 

1. Beirut (not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but it's the advanced/sport version of beer pong, at least where I'm from)
2. Edward 40 Hands (I suppose now that I'm more refined, it would be Edward Bomber Hands. I would love to see a professional match-up of Edward Black Tuesday Hands or some similar thing, but I think that's probably just bad for society).
3. Asshole (underrated as a game of skill)
4. Kings Cup

Worst: Star Wars drinking game

One of only two times I had ever blacked out in my life was from the Star Wars drinking game (drink every time Luke whines, every time "the force" is mentioned, etc.). I was playing it with Aftershock (cinnamon-flavored liquor) with a girl I knew. The last thing I remembered, we were at the rebels preparing to attack the Death Star in Star Wars. When I came to, there were Ewoks and there was cinnamon-scented puke all over my dog.

 

I found a board game called "Pass Out" that my parents must have owned that is similar to Monopoly but quite debaucherous. I used to play it with water with my sister as a kid and whoever had to pee first lost. After not seeing it for years, I found it at my parents' house when I was in college. I took it to college and lost it the first night I broke it out.

Here it is:

One, two, three, drink.

 

Gawd... I forgot about playing 'Hi Bob' back in the day...

 

I picked up the game on eBay after a former boss told me about it, but how do you play it with drinking?

 

When there's a few of us Texas holdem poker is great

 

Super Smash Bros.

You simply play this game while drinking beer.
