Get Effed Up in 5 MInutes
A new game that was taught to us by one of our favorite Drinking Buddies, she learned it through a teammate. The game stays true to its name and works great for those quick and dirty pre-pre-parties!
You will need:
-- A deck of cards
-- Beer or your drink of choice!
RULES
1. One person will be the Dealer and one person will be the Player. Put down ten cards in a row, face up, on the table. Put a slight gap between the first five cards and the second five cards. This will be 'the Bridge'.
2. Starting at one end of the row of cards, the Player must correctly guess if the next card the Dealer pulls from the deck will be "higher" or "lower" than the one currently facing up. After the Player guesses 'higher' or 'lower' for a card, the Dealer flips over the top card on the deck and places it below the main row.
4. Once you make it to the slight gap between the first half and second half of the main row, everybody drinks 'to get over the Bridge'. This happens every time the Player crosses the bridge.
Variations include:
-- The Dealer or everyone watching has to drink when the Player gets it right.
-- Always guess off the main row, not the additions.
-- If the Player gets the whole thing right on the first guess, they get to make the Dealer chug a beer / make the Dealer their bitch / do whatever because this is almost impossible!
For your learning convenience, we've uploaded an example to our new YouTube channel! Check it out:
We apologize for the rotation issues, but would you expect anything less?
Get it? Got it? Good!

- For instance, the first card in the row is a 10. The Player guesses 'higher'. The Dealer flips over the next card in the deck, it's a Queen. The Player guesses right, so the Player moves to the next card in the row. It's an 8. Player guesses 'lower'. The Dealer flips over the next card and it's a 6. The Player guessed wrong, which brings us to...

Presidents / Asshole
This is a tried and true drinking game. We're pretty sure the first time we played this game we were in the 7th grade and there was no alcohol involved. Like most things, it's a lot more fun when there is drinking involved.
There are many variations of this game, but these are the rules we know. Feel free to add yours!
You'll need:
-- A deck of cards
-- Beer
RULES
1. Deal out the full deck to all players
2. Twos are wild, so are red 3s. Aces are high. Whoever has the three of clubs starts.
3. You can play up to four of a kind at a time. But remember, if you start with two (or three or four) of a kind, everyone else has to also play the same number. e.g: Steve starts with a pair of threes. Amanda plays her pair of sixes. Jamie has no pairs, so he passes.
4. The next person can play any card higher than the one last played. If you don't have a higher card, you must pass. You can use a 2 or a red 3 to clear the current pile. You can also clear by completing a set (a pair of twos on a pair of twos). Anyone can do this at any time.
5. If no one can play, the person who played the last card starts the next round. If you played a clear card, then you start the next round. After the first round, you can start with any card.
6. Whoever finishes their hand first becomes the President. Next person to finish is Vice President. Last person to finish is the asshole. Second to last person is vice asshole.
7. The next round starts the same as the first. The asshole shuffles and deals. Before the round starts, the asshole gives the president their two best cards, the president gives the asshole their two worst cards. Vice president and vice asshole do the same with their single best and worst card.
8. Now here is the fun part - the president gets to boss everyone around. Everyone gets to boss the asshole around. The president can make rules, make people drink, or whatever you can think of! The asshole does whatever everyone wants them to do. We've heard variations that include forbidding the asshole to speak unless spoken to, and the asshole has to always refill drinks.
Variations: you can play another of the same value card to skip the next person in play.
Get ready, this escalates fast!

Chandeliers
This has quickly become a new party staple for how quick and dirty it is!
You will need:
Cups (one more than there are people)
One ping pong ball
Beer
1. Grab some cups (one more cup than there are people) and sit in a circle. Set the cups up in a circle with one cup in the middle. Each of these cups will belong to one of you, so it's usually recommended to touch the cup you think is yours before you start.
2. Fill each cup on the outer circle with a reasonable, quickly chuggable amount of beer. Fill the middle cup much fuller (as full as you are feeling adventurous.)
3. One person starts by trying to bounce the ping pong ball into one of the cups.
a) If it lands in a cup that belongs to someone else, that person has to drink their drink.
b) If it lands in your own cup, you get to choose who drinks.
c) If it lands in the center cup, everyone drinks their own cup as fast as they can and slams it back on the table. Last person to finish has to drink the center cup.
4. If you miss, just pass it to the next person.
That's it! Have fun!
Optional: We've discovered adding a "questions" round makes this game go a little slower (it is VERY fast paced). Every time the ball bounces in someone else's cup, you get to ask them a question. If it lands in your own cup, you ask a question to everyone, but you still pick. If it lands in the middle, everyone drinks as usual.

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!
Still life with tall beer glass
Jan Jansz van de Velde
oil on panel, 1647
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)!
Still life with tall beer glass
Jan Jansz van de Velde
oil on panel, 1647
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

(Dealbreaker being defined as something that, if revealed in conversation in a bar would make you flee. Dealmaker is something that would make you take that person home immediately.)3. For each dealbreaker / dealmaker stated, the following happens:
- If you AGREE with the statement, do NOT drink.
- If you DISAGREE with the statement, DRINK.
- If NO ONE agrees with the person's statement, said person has to drink.

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!
