Vintage Drinking Game
Our loyal follower / compatriot / friend Lucile was recently abroad in Amsterdam and found this relic of a drinking game in the Rijksmuseum!
The text is referring to the above painting and reads:
Sounds awesome! Where can we buy one of those glasses? We'd love to hear how you would update it (if at all)!
The text is referring to the above painting and reads:
The most striking object in this painting is the tall pasglas, a special beer glass which was part of a drinking game popular in the 17th century. When it was your turn, you had to drink just to the next ring -- no simple task for someone who had already had a few. If you missed that ring, you had to keep going until you the next one.
Sounds awesome! Where can we buy one of those glasses? We'd love to hear how you would update it (if at all)!
Dealbreakers and Dealmakers
Grab your friends and check out this spin on Never Have I Ever!
1. Ladies and/or Gents sit around in a circle

Slap Cup
You'll Need:
-- 6+ players
-- 2 Pingpong Balls
-- 27 solo cups.
-- A table
-- Mad beers
Rules
1. Put the 27 cups the middle of the table. You can arrange them as you see fit, but they should all be closely clustered together and not spread out. There should be room in front of everyone playing also. Each cup should be filled with 1/3 of the way of beer. (You know, like every other cup based drinking game ever)
2. Two players across from each other grab a cup of beer and a ping pong ball. They chug the beer in the cup, and then try to bounce the ball into the cup they just drained.
3. Two things can happen here:
a) If it takes you more than one shot to get the ball into the cup, you pass the cup to the person to your LEFT.
b) If you bounce the ball into the cup the FIRST TRY, you can pass the cup to any person in the circle. (Hint: You want to try pass it to the person behind the person still shooting.)
4. When two people are trying to bounce the ball into the cup, and no one is in between them, things get real. If you get the ball into the cup BEFORE the person to your left (who is also bouncing), SLAP THEIR CUP OFF THE TABLE. You then pass the cup and the ball to the next person to the left.
5. If you just got your cup slapped, grab a cup of beer from the middle, keep your ping pong ball, chug your beer and start bouncing again.
Got it? Get ready to never want to play flip cup again.
Other variations include: Putting a full cup of beer in the center of cluster of cups, so it is the 'last cup' and whoever loses must drink it.

Moose
This game is pretty similar to Up and Down The River, but uses an icecube tray and quarters instead of cards.
Rules
-- Grab an (empty) ice tray, a quarter, a cup of an alcoholic beverage of your choice and some beers. Prop the ice cube tray upright the long way on the cup. Sit around a table.
-- The left half of the tray will be the "give a drink" side. The right half will be the "take a drink" side.
-- Starting at the bottom, the drink designations for each cube will be 1 drink, 2 drinks, 4 drinks, 6 drinks, 8 drinks, quarter beer, half beer, full beer.
-- The first person to go has 3 chances to bounce his/her quarter into the ice cube tray. Depending on which side it lands in, they get to then give or take the appropriate number of drinks, eg - if you were to bounce the quarter into the second-from-the-bottom, left hand side cube, you would GIVE two drinks to the person of your choice.
-- If the person misses 3 times, it's a social and everyone drinks.
-- If the quarter ends up in the cup at the top of the ice cube tray, everyone must put their hands on their heads, like antlers, and shout MOOSE. Last person to shout moose has to drink the cup.
Quick, easy and social!
(Thanks Lucie!)

Golf
Golf is a little tricky, but particularly seasonal! Get a deck of cards, some beers and get going!
Rules
-- You want the LOWEST hand possible. Face cards are 10, Aces are 1.
1. Everyone playing gets four cards. They are NOT allowed to look at these four cards.
2. The dealer puts the rest of the cards in the middle of the table and flips over the top card.
3. Everyone may look at ONE of their four cards, but they can only look at one and they can only look at it once.
4. The dealer starts. S/He takes one card off the top of the deck, looks at it and decides whether or not s/he wants to trade it for one of his/her cards in his hand. Keep in mind s/he has no idea what cards s/he has, apart from the one s/he saw earlier.
5. If s/he gives up a card in his/her hand, s/he then places that discarded card faceup in the discard pile and puts the card s/he took face down in her hand. Otherwise, if s/he does not want to keep the card, s/he places it face up in the discard pile.
6. Next person in the circle goes. They have the option of drawing off the discard pile or off the deck. They decide if they want to keep it, and so on and so forth.
7. Whenever someone thinks they have the lowest hand, they yell GOLF! Everyone goes around once more, then flips the cards over.
8. Add your cards up. Lowest hand wins. Now here comes the fun part. Everyone has to drink for how long their cards add up to. For instance: If the highest hand was a 20, the winner starts counting up to twenty (as slow or as fast as s/he chooses). Everyone drinks. When it gets to your number, you stop. Highest hand can't stop til the winner reaches twenty.
VARIATIONS
-- You may look at one of your cards once the game has started, but you must drink for every time you look at your cards. (this rule is recommended after you have played a couple rounds and can't remember as easily)
-- If the person who calls "golf" has the highest hand, they must double their score/drinking time.
Slightly difficult to read, very easy to play (we can attest)! Any other variations?

7, 11, Doubles
This is one of our personal favorites.
Rules
-- Grab some dice and beer.
-- One person (or the owner of the dice) fills the glass as much or as little as they want. Keep in mind, you will have drink this beer as fast as possible!
-- Said person then grabs the dice. If they don't roll a 7, 11 or doubles, they take a sip of their beer and pass it to the next person on their right.
-- The first person to ROLL a 7, 11 or doubles picks one person to be the drinker.
-- As soon as the drinker touches the cup, and they can take as long as they like, the Roller starts rolling the dice.
-- The roller has as long as it takes the drinker to finish the beer to roll a 7, 11 or doubles.
-- IF the roller succeeds, they refill the glass and the process begins.
-- IF the roller does not succeed in rolling a 7, 11 or doubles, then the game continues and you pass the dice to the right.
KEY IMPORTANT RULE - IF YOU TOUCH THE DIE BEFORE THE DRINKER TOUCHES THE CUP, THE ROLLER BECOMES THE DRINKER AND THE DRINKER BECOMES THE ROLLER
Here's a sample round to ease your understanding:
Temperance, Chastity, Brigham and Steve are playing the game. Temperance fills a solo cup and puts it in the middle of the table, then rolls the dice. She doesn't roll a 7, 11, or doubles so she passes it to Chastity. Chastity then rolls the dice and rolls a 7. She chooses Steve to be the drinker. Steve takes his time grabbing the solo cup and as soon as he touches that red cup, Chastity starts rolling the dice and Steve starts chugging. With great luck, Chastity rolls two ones before Steve finishes his drink and puts the solo cup back on the table. They refill the solo cup and try again. This time, Steve successfully finishes his drink and slams it on the table before Chastity rolled anything. Chastity passes the dice to Brigham and the game continues.
We are English Majors, this is our forte. It takes a minute to get used to, but once you get ROLLING, it's the most fun.
Rules
-- Grab some dice and beer.
-- One person (or the owner of the dice) fills the glass as much or as little as they want. Keep in mind, you will have drink this beer as fast as possible!
-- Said person then grabs the dice. If they don't roll a 7, 11 or doubles, they take a sip of their beer and pass it to the next person on their right.
-- The first person to ROLL a 7, 11 or doubles picks one person to be the drinker.
-- As soon as the drinker touches the cup, and they can take as long as they like, the Roller starts rolling the dice.
-- The roller has as long as it takes the drinker to finish the beer to roll a 7, 11 or doubles.
-- IF the roller succeeds, they refill the glass and the process begins.
-- IF the roller does not succeed in rolling a 7, 11 or doubles, then the game continues and you pass the dice to the right.

Toasting Thursdays
From now on, we will post our favorite drinking toasts every Thursday!
Please send us your favorite toasts and cheers!
If the ocean were liquor
And I were a duck
I'd swim to the bottom
And drink my way up
But the ocean's not liquor
And I'm not a duck
So fuck this shit,
and let's get fucked up!
Please send us your favorite toasts and cheers!
Odds & Evens
This game was tried and tested by the blackout crowd on St Patrick's day, so we can attest to both it's simplicity and entertainment.
Rules
-- Grab an empty glass.
-- Everyone at the table puts a finger on the rim of the glass.
-- One person counts to three, and everyone chooses to either take their finger off the glass, or leave it on.
-- The one person counting should also guess 'odds' or 'evens'. They will then count how many fingers are left. If the person guesses RIGHT, they get to give a drink. If the person guesses WRONG, they take a drink.
Depending on how many people you have, you can also vote to have all those with their fingers left on the rim either take a drink or give a drink, depending on the accuracy of the person's guess.

Catan-tics
Grab your copy of Settlers of Catan (which is, we promise, much less nerdy than it sounds or looks), grab some drinks and add these rules.
Settlers of Catan Drinking Game
Drink once every time:
-- You collect a resource
-- You use a port
-- You trade in four of one resource to the bank
-- You lose longest road
-- You swear at someone / become overly invested in the game
Drink TWICE every time:

If you're feeling so inclined, you can also make drinks corresponding to each resource. Our suggestions are:
Wheat - beer
Wood - Gin & Tonic
Brick - Vodka Cran
Ore - Rum & Coke
Sheep - Whiskey Sour
Be sure to waterfall for every Catan-related pun you make.

Drinking Game Rules
Divide into two teams.

ALSO everyone drink every time:

Horse Race
Drinking Game Rules
Pick someone to be the announcer. The announcer will start by shuffling through the deck and picking out the four aces and laying them face up side by side at the end of the table. These aces will be the 'horses'. The announcer then picks between six and eight cards and lays them face down perpendicular to the aces along the side of the table.
Players then place bets on the 'horses'. Usually something like 'five on diamonds' is acceptable, but feel free to get as fancy as you want. Be warned though, if you lose you have to drink your own bet!
Then the game starts. The announcer starts by flipping over the first card of the deck. Only the suit matters. The ace that matches that suit advances down the line of cards. This continues until one of the aces passes the final link / card into the 'winners circle.'
Losers drink their bets, winners dole out their drinks to others.
BONUS RULE
If you so choose, you can add a 'jump' to the track by stacking two cards on the links instead of one. The suit must be drawn twice for the horse to clear the jump.
Thanks Lucie!

Spaz
This game often goes by another name. In the interest of not being dicks, we changed it to something (slightly) less offensive.
Drinking Game Rules
Grab a deck of cards. Pick a person to start as the dealer. Go around the circle clockwise.
The dealer will face the person to their left. The dealer flips over the card on the top of the deck. The dealer and the person then race to say a word that begins with the same letter as the number/face on the card.
(eg - if the dealer flips over a 2, 'turtle', 'trust', 'taint' are all acceptable. Numbers are NOT acceptable, so 'thirteen' or 'twice' would not be a valid answer.)
If the dealer wins, they continue holding the cards and move around the circle to the next person. If the dealer loses, the person who won takes the cards and becomes the dealer.
When you lose, you drink.
NO REPEAT WORDS ARE ALLOWED.
In case of a tie, don't fight. Just drink and repeat the round.
