Ah, thanks for the info.

But I'm quite surprised about your view on it. A know several people, including myself, who more or less frequently drink that much (which is about a bottle) in one night. And we usually don't pass out or spill it over the floor or something like that.

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.

Still very weird. Usually newspapers already report .45% stories, and the people they report it about are almost always male.

"Drink While You Think"
Your group arranges itself in some type of order like around a table or room. The first person says the name of someone famous. The next person in the rotation has to name someone famous who's first name begins with the first letter of the previously named person's last name. For example, if I said George Washington the next person would have to name someone whose first name began with a W. The catch is that you have to drink continuously while you try to come up with a name. We generally don't require chugging but a continuous sip will do the trick. If someone uses a name with the first letters the same, such as Herbert Hoover, the rotation switches the other way. I would recommend beer for this one as your ability to think of names deteriorates quickly.
Of course I haven't played a serious drinking game in long while as they tend to be pretty punishing on the old folk.

"Three Man"
Most of you have probably heard of this one in some variation.
All that's needed is two six sided dice.
One person is designated "three man"(woman/person/other) and the person to their left starts the rolling. Every time a three is rolled the three man has to take a drink. If the roller rolls doubles he(the roller) gets to make someone else drink two(or two people drink one). If the roller rolls a seven the person to his right drinks, for an eleven the person to the left drinks. On a nine everyone drinks. The roller keeps rolling until he rolls one that doesn't make somebody drink. The roll then goes to his left.
If the dice show a one and two then the three man can roll one die. If he rolls a three he gets to designate the next three man.
If the roll gets all the way back around to the three man then he rolls as normal and, if he rolls a three can make someone else three man. He keeps rolling until he rolls a nothing. If he doesn't roll a three he stays three man and keeps on drinkin'.
I've seen variations of this game where on a double you give away a number of drinks equal to the roll.

take a card from a deck of card and put it above a pint of beer and place a coin in the middle of the card. then everyone gets cigarettes and have to burn holes into the card and when the coin finally falls into the beer because the card can't wear it any more, the last one to burn a whole into the card has to drink the beer.

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.

Did that on my 18th birthday, except we called it the "Hundy Club". Damn it's awesome, although you'll be suprised how tough it is. I even have video footage.

Best Video Ever.

Alternativley, another guarenteed dropper; "The Vertical Limit Drinking Game", Drink every time you see somethign unrealistic.

X people, one deck of cards.

One person deals, and deals one card to one person at a time.
- If the card is ace, the person have to drink one zip of his drink.
- If the card is 2, the person have to drink two zips.
- If the card is 3, he/she has to drink 3
- If the card is 4, he/she drinks 4.
- If the card is 5, he/she orders another person around the table to drink one zip.
- If the card is 6, he/she orders one to drink 2.
- If the card is 7, he/she orders one to drink 3.
- If the card is 8, he/she orders one to drink 4.
- If the card is 9, it is a "free card" wich he can use to go to the bathroom. If he/she doesnt need to at the moment he/she can save it for later, and use it any time.
- If the card is 10, it is a "free card" that can be used for smoking. If the person doesnt smoke, he/she can sell it for a desired amount of zips.
- If the card is Jack, Queen or King, the person can make up a "rule" that has to be followed throughout the game. Here the person has to use his imagination a bit. Rules can be that nobody can say the word "it" for example, or that they have to drink with their "wrong hand". Anybody who brakes the rules has to drink the rest of his/her drink. You can also cancel an already existing rule if u get a picture card.

This game may sound slow, but trust me: it rocks!!

I'm glad you mentioned 3 man....that was a favorite in high school and me and my old buddies still like to break out the dice when we get together. Other great games are "President and *******s"; "Knights of the Round Table," and where would this world be without "Moose" or "Quarters." Bottoms up!!!!

hehe, it is possible to drink that much, but sometimes people go way overboard when they're telling you how much they drank the previous night, and most of the time it's the guy everyone knows is an amateur telling you he polished off a fifth in one night. I'm sure the old pros chiming in on this thread could polish off a fifth no problem, and would have the good sense not to brag about it the next morning.

Another great drinking game, especially if you want to learn WAY too much about a group of people, is called never have I ever. You all sit in a circle, and one person starts, and they stand up and begin a sentence, "Never have I ever......", and anyone who has done what the person says stands up and drinks for a certain amount of time, say, 5 seconds. You keep going around the circle until everyone gets bored. The best part of this game is that after an hour or so, guys start airing their friends dirty laundry - a guy will come up with a never have I ever that is completely disgusting or embarrasing, when he knows that one of his buddies has actually done it, and of course that guy stands up and then everyone knows about it. Makes for some great entertainment, that's for sure, and you find out things you almost never wish you knew about certain people.

monopoly and trivial pursuit with jeopardy rules are quite funny while drinking.

Ahhhhh another Southern Comfort drinker
i haven't drank SC in a while, i took out a half g of it one night and well...... lol it was one wild and crazy night that ended in a blur and me somehow falling asleep in one of the halls of my house

Now this really isn't a game, but it was fun as hell.
Lets see it was hmmm 2 years ago when Arkansas played Ole Miss and won in the 8th overtime, this was college football(american) btw. It was me and about 20 of my friends at my house watching the game
The whole game during regulation we would all take a shot of beer for each arkansas first down, and the ole miss people would do the same for ole miss.
And when it hit overtime, each time arkansas scored us Hog fans would down a beer, same with ole miss, i'd have to say that we were damn happy that game finally ended lol

i'm having a hard time believing the story about the .6 BAL.
I do believe at .4 u are 99% likely to be in a coma and near death.
Either the story is false, or the girl is the luckiest person alive

@lord_byron: I've learnt first hand just how much you kiwis like 'hundy club'. There's a bunch of New Zealanders that turn up to Oktoberfest every year and initiate the hundy club. They do it with camera film cases though (40ml, not 30ml) and the umpire can put anything in the last one that he wants, and i mean ANYTHING. Mad b*stards.

Here's one we played at uni: Land mines...
Basically theres 4 players standing at a bar. You put the four aces out of a deck of cards in a hat, and the one that pulls out the ace of spades has to walk backwards until they hit someone, then steal the drink off the person they hit and skull the rest of it.
Best played in a pub where you know at least 50% of the people...

Speaking of quarters, a similare game is played with beer bottle caps where you toss the cap into someone else's beer. If you make it in he has to finish the drink. A friend of mine didn't realize two caps had been tossed into his drink at the same time. When he drank he caught the first cap but swallowed the second. This ended up in very long night at the hospital to have it removed. The ER staff found it very amusing. My friend was relieved he had swallowed a cap from a decent beer and not some swill.

Ancient Grudge:
I think you would quickly become and "old pro" living in Britain. English bitter is wonderful stuff. Even better if you can break it up with some good scotch. My question is why do they even serve half pints? I'd buy it in quarts if they had them. Of course we have 40's in the U.S. but it's usually swill.

 

[Ancient Grudge]

they serve half pints...... ohh your talking about pubs sorry im not allowed to go in them well its for people who like the taste but are poor from drinking too much the night before

and old pro in england are you saying that england has an under age drinking problem? im shocked
