Drinking Games

[metalhead]

If you and your buddies have come up with any cool drinking games, even if they are extremely simple, post them here! For example, me and a buddy came up with an extremely simple drinking game that will guarantee to have you in the floor in a couple hours. It was based on the card game war, and basically, you take a swig of beer every time you lose a draw. Really simple, yet very effective. In fact, we spent much of our time in college proving a theory of ours that every single card or dice game can have a drinking game made out of it, and I have found that theory to be true in every instance so far. We had actually come up with a quite complicated set of rules for drinking and playing Monopoly, but they seem to have slipped my mind for some reason

Almost any game can. I did it once with chess. Every unit taken had to be followed by a sip of whiskey by the taker. too. I'm glad though it wasn't Civ.

Didn't repeat it though. Long live my liver.

hmmmm you have a bottle of some sort of alcoholic drink such as cider or vodka you have 5 seconds to drink as much as you can while your mate taps it out on the floor and says it then you pass the bottle to him he drinks for 5 seconds etc etc..........

Another good one for chess is to use different brands of beer in 7 oz. cans for the pieces, except your queen is a 12 oz can or bottle, and your king a 16 oz can or bottle. Every time one of your pieces gets captured, you have to finish the beer in the piece. This often leads to some interesting gambits once a few pawns have been captured, not to mention it becomes a lot more difficult to tell your pieces apart. Sometimes, a piece gets captured, and it's already empty

Very easy and fun game:

Give 6 cards to every player. Evry player has to have the cards facing up in front of them. Then the dealer takes draws one card at a time for every player at the same time. Every player who has that card has to drink. Second card, every player has to drink twice, third turn, every player who has the card selects a player of his choice to drink and the 4th turn you select a player again but he has to drin twice. Then you go back to drink one.

It goes like this.

-Deal 6 cards to every player
-Deal one card for everyone each turn
-If you have that card in the 6 you have facing you, then:
First turn drink once
Second turn drink twice
Third turn Select a player to drink once
fourth turn Select a player that will drink twice
-go back to first turn until card deck is empty....or until you fall under the table.

When you have let's say 2 sixes in front of you and a 6 is delt and the turn is on "drink twice" you drink 4 but if it's on Select twice " then you can select 2 different friends or select the same friends so he'll drink 4 times.

I played a game with 2 dice where a roll of 21 was highest, followed by 66, 55, 44....11, 65, 64 and so on.. you get the idea. Played with a group where the lowest roller buys the drinks (after one round, or after a number of rounds). I had six full glasses of beer standing in front of me within 15 minutes. Needless to say, I didn't feel all that well the next day....

Here's one for the kiddies from my college days. Very simple. Very devastating.

It's call "Century Club". Basically, you drink 1 shot glass of beer every 1 minute for 100 minutes. "Only a shot" you say....hehe, just try it.

 

[metalhead]

Jethro - just like a Power Hour, except extended to 100 minutes. I like it

How much was a shot again?

I never really was into drinking games, I mean, you don't really need a game to drink, do you?
I admit they can be fun in some situations though.

Try this one (didn't invent it, so it may be well-known):
You need hard liquor, a soft drink (like Coke), a jar, and a pack of cards.
Take a pack of cards where four of a kind can be found in (like four kings, four sevens or four jacks, I'll take the sevens as an example). Shuffle the cards and put them on the table (or on the floor, depending on where you are).
Sit around the table in a circle, then start drawing cards, one by one, always just one card per person.
The person who draws the first seven (or other type of card you agreed on) pours as much of liquor in the jar as he likes, as long as it's not completely filled.
The person who draws the second seven fills in as much of the soft drink as he likes.
The person who draws the third seven takes a nip.
And the person who draws the last seven has to drink the whole thing at once.

The nice thing about the game is that you yourself may be the one that has to drink the awful mixture you produced. So think about filling in too much alcohol (as long as you don't want to drink it, of course ).

This can't be done, you'd have to relieve yourself before.

Might we add this topic:

The century club is great with beer or something like it. Don't do it with liquors like I did. After the 28th shot of Southern Comfort I didn't feel really well...

You don't have to be tied to your chair, smalltalk.

Isn't this topic inappropriate for these forums, or am I just being absurd?

I hope you are kidding. Yes...it is a BEER game.

erm have you seen any of mine and cimbris discussions on alcohol before?

 

[Jeratain]

Well okay, I don't drink but I know of a few games since I'm always hanging out with drinkers.


The Big Chug is one that I remember. Take one cup (hence "the big chug") fill it with beer, and place it in center of table. Put a small amount of beer in a cup for each player, and place these cups around the big chug; remember which cup is your own.

The game begins with a player attempting to bounce the quarter into any of the cups. If the player misses, he has to drink the contents of his own cup. If the player makes it, whoever's cup the quarter landed in must drink. If the quarter lands in "the big chug," everybody must drink, and the last one to finish must drink the "big chug."


If you've ever seen Saturday Night Live with Bob Newhart, or the Bob Newhart show, then I'm sure you remember the game "Hi Bob." Anytime someone says "Hi Bob" the people playing have to take a shot of whatever it is they are drinking. Just watch the old episodes with friends and you'll get buzzed pretty fast.

Sure, although take people's claims of quantities drak with a grain of salt - I mean, every time I hear someone claim they drank a fifth of liquor in one night, I think what they really mean is they remember having a full fifth at the beginning of the night, at some point it was halfway gone, and then when they woke up the next morning and remembered how to see straight, they noticed it was empty.

As for how much is possible, I'm not sure, but one drinking feat that will probably never be topped - while I was in college, a girl was found being dragged home by her friends. They took her to the hospital, where her blood alcohol content was an astounding .687%! Now, once you get around .5%, you risk death, and this girl went close to .2% above that and made it through, no doubt because the police took her to the hospital.

As for drinking games, I've always found that an important rule to play with is sloppy cards/dice. If someone deals a hand of cards wrong, or drops cards/dice on the floor, someone else calls sloppy cards/dice, and the offender has to chug for a certain amount of time, usually around 5 seconds. By the end of the night it becomes the focal point of the game.

You better take that story with a grain of salt. You risk death much earlier than .5%, rather .4% and almost .7% is practically impossible to survive even for the hardest Russian vodka alcoholic, and certainly impossible to survive for a college girl.

a fifth of liquor

How much is that?

 

[metalhead]

A fifth of liquor is 750 millilitres, or 3/4 of a litre, which is roughly equal to one-fifth of a gallon in our crazy system of weights and measures, hence the name fifth.

As for the girl with the .687% blood alcohol, this wasn't a rumor, this was her blood alcohol content as reported by the hospital that treated her and printed in the newspaper. I'll try to dig up the article.

 

[metalhead]

Well actually, her blood alcohol content was .682%, but it's still a miracle she lived.

Student cited for drinking

By BETH BAUMGARDNER
Collegian Staff Writer


The State College Police Department announced yesterday it issued a citation to Penn State student Kristine A. Lurowist for public drunkenness, but decided not to press any charges in the case.


Lurowist's blood alcohol level reached a near-fatal concentration of .682 when she allegedly consumed 21 shots on her bar tour Aug. 23.


Police were investigating the roles of two downtown bars, The Gingerbread Man, 130 Hiester St., and The Saloon, 110 Hiester, as well as Acacia fraternity, 234 Locust Lane.


Michael Schwarz (senior-architectural engineering), president of Acacia, said he was not surprised the fraternity was not charged.


"As far as the fraternity goes, at no point did we feel we did anything wrong," he said.


A few members of the fraternity attended Lurowist's bar tour along with several of her other friends. The day after the incident, police questioned those members.


"I'd really like to see the bars be more strict about (limiting consumption)," Schwarz said. "I am just so glad that she survived. It would've looked bad for the Penn State community if she had died."


The Gingerbread Man is one of two bars mentioned in court documents.


"We have a three-shot limit. She was given a glass of water and she was escorted out," said Mike Girouard, general manager of The Gingerbread Man. "We had two police officers come in the next day and thank us, complimenting the way we handled the situation."


Though he feels the bar handled everything correctly during Lurowist's bar tour, Girouard said because of the incident, the bar has decided to stop serving alcohol to individuals who go to the bar at midnight of their 21st birthday.


Customers are now required to wait at least until the next night, he said.


Lurowist's name is now being associated with binge drinking due to the national attention her case has brought.
