    What are your favorite drinking games?

    I'm hoping to discover some new ones, so please go in depth to the rules and methods of the game.

    My personal favorite is beer pong. The common way to play at my school is 6 cups per side, arrandged in a triangle, and filled with 2 beers. Standard table size is between 2-3 feet high and 8 feet long. Width is not really a factor, as long as all the cups fit. To start the game, each side gets one ping pong ball and one player from each team (teams of 2) is chosen to shoot. The players look into each other's eyes, not at the cups, and shoot the ball. If both players miss, then the other team mates go 'eye to eye' as it is called. If one player makes the ball in a cup, then his team gets to go first, however the cup remains on the table. Both players on that team then throw one ball a peice, trying to make it into one of the cups on the other side of the table. Once a cup on your side of the table is made, you have to take it away from the other cups and drink the beer that is in it, alternating cups with your partner. The team to make all 6 cups on the other side of the table is the winner. However, once the last cup is made, the other team gets one more turn, 'rebuttal shots.' If they make enough cups to clear the other side, then the game goes into a 3 cup overtime. During the rebuttal turn, the rules change to 'shoot until you miss,' basically if you make a cup you get to shoot again. There are many other rules about shooting. If you bounce the ball off of the table and into one of the cups, then the opposing team has to take away 2 cups, however that team is allowed to block the shot away after it bounces. If both members of one team make the ball in the same cup, then the game is over and the shooters win. If a member of the other team is holding a cup in his hand, and someone shoots a ball into that cup, the game is over and the shooters win. This is commonly known as death cup, satelite cup, or sniper cup. If a member of the non-shooting team blocks a shot before it goes past the edge of the table, then the shooter gets to re-take the shot. Usually, you must shoot with your elbow behind your edge of the table. If the shooting team makes 2 different cups on the other side, then both cups are removed, and the shooting team gets another turn. This is commonly known as bring backs or roll backs. This means that if both players make the last cup on the other side, or the last two cups in one turn, the opposing team doesn't get rebuttal shots, as it is still the winning teams turn, but there are no cups remaining. If the rebutting team gets rollbacks on the rebuttal turn, they do not win the game, rather they get the first turn in overtime.

    Thats as much as I can think of, hopefully if you've never played this before, you will now. It is a tremendously fun game.

    Let me know your favorite drinking games, whether using cards, coins, dice, etc. and when my fingers regain some feeling I'll update you with some more of my favorites.

    Beer pong is the only real one I have played. I never tried a different game. I was in "I never" but it was so gay I didn't really play.

    any different rules of beer pong down there? I know that everyone has certian variations on the game. for example, i've seen people play with 10 cups and 3 balls, and you can shoot whenever you like, its not on a turn by turn basis.

    Well we have the same 6 cups. However each one is usually one beer. Sometimes we play with shots instead of beer. You can bounce the ball off the table or not.. whichever you are comfortable with, because all that matters is that the ball makes it into the cup. Also on some of the games you can give your beer (the one you have to drink) to someone else. lol. I remember last time it was me.

    Basically the same thing I guess.

    Hve you ever played the stock market drinking game? It's really fun. You invest all your money, then lose it all and become an alcoholic.

    I've really only played one drining game. It was some card game, but I don't remember the rules. I just remember I got so trashed I went to go get some Fritos and I forgot to come back and finish the game.

    Drinking games are stupid. We are living in a culture that encourages people to become alcoholics. I have an idea that you and your binge-drinking friends can try. Get together with ten or more of your alcoholic friends or acquaintances, and buy some liquor. Make sure that you a choose a beverage with a high alcohol content. (50% or more) Open the bottles and start drinking until all of you are unconscious. Hopefully at least one of you will die from alcohol poisoning. Continue this activity every week until only one of you is still alive. The sole survivor will be the winner of the game.

    A quote from the movie 187

    If you’re going to be stupid, don’t be half way stupid. Be all the way stupid.

    circle of death is always a good one. im never sure of the rules above a #8, because everyone has their own, but basically you pick a card and either drink or nominate drinks based on the number and colour of your card.

    I like drinking.. but it is a rarity for me. When I get drunk... I get very drunk. But it's not often. The last time I been drunk? Probably 4 months ago. Last time before that? Maybe 2 months. It usually happens around school events like "final exams" and "start of the second semester."

    Doom, gloom, and UTTER BULLSHIT.

    The advent of Gin was hailed as the start of the decline of British society, but it never happened. There have been taverns, and booze for a long time, and somehow, we still manage to function. There have been notorious drunkards from each generation, be they Oliver Reed, Lord Byron, or John Wilmot. Society and culture have not changed much in hundreds of years when it comes to booze, and we have not suffered a decadent decline due to it.

    Maybe you have a problem with alcohol, but the vast majority of people don't, and can indulge in some frivolous behaviour without much incident.

    I know a good drinking game. You tell all the people you actually like where you are going to drink, and don't tell dour gripewater merchants like q0101, so they can stay home and fester. You can then drink, and be merry, without some naysayer trying to dampen your spirits. You then later tell them what a great time you had, and that they should join you sometime, but never invite them.

    The problem with drinking games is the fact that the majority of the people that play them do not ingest alcohol in a responsible way. They are the same kind of people that think it is ok to get drunk every time they out to have some fun with their friends. They are the same kind of people that get behind the wheel of a car after having a few beers.

    I’ve been drinking alcohol on a regular basis from the age of 13, and I can actually say that I have never been drunk. I’ve been above the legal driving limit where I live on many occasions, but I always listen to my body when I begin to feel tipsy. I don’t drink to get drunk. We live in a culture that encourages people to continue drinking after they begin to feel uncomfortable. What is so pleasant about vomiting? What is so pleasant about not being able to walk properly?

    Maybe some of you should try drinking alcohol in moderation. It will prevent you from building up a tolerance to the drug, and you will be able to enjoy the effects of alcohol for the rest of you life without damaging your liver.

    Why do you think you can define 'drinking responsibly' as 'not drunk.' What is irresponible about me drinking whatever amount of alcohol I want. The only responsibility I have is to do what I please, and not to harm others. Why is not ok to go out and get drunk with my friend all the time? And as for the last statement in your first paragraph, that is a stupid generalization. You can't say that all people who play drinking games are the type that drink and drive. I am not. Plenty of people I know are not.

    You equate tipsy with uncomfortable. That is a personal feeling, just because you don't like to drink to get drunk doesn't mean you're better than people who do. What's so pleasn't about being wasted? Its really fun, really really fun.

    Are you admitting to DUI? Fuck you if you are.

    I don’t care what you do with your body. It’s your liver. Go ahead and fuck it up. I just think that it’s a shame that a large percentage of our population can’t use pleasurable substances (alcohol, tobacco, illegal narcotics) without damaging their body. Some people have genetic predispositions that make them more prone to addiction. And some people are just products of their environment.

    I don’t equate being tipsy with being uncomfortable. I would equate it with reaching a pleasurable point where your body is telling you not to ingest any more alcohol or face the consequences.

    No I am not admitting to a DUI. I don’t even like to drive when I am below the legal limit. I prefer to drive when I have no alcohol in my body.
