I hope that many of my blog posts have helped you out in these past few weeks. I am going to try and keep them up however I do not think that I will be on here as much as I currently am so if there is not a post for a while do not worry I have not stopped for good I am just taking a break that is all. Like you I want to go out there and enjoy my summer since after all that is when us college students get a bit of a break from juggling our two lives the one that is in the classroom and the fun night life one. Also with my little break I hope to learn a lot more new games for you so I can tell you how to go about playing them. So here is one last game for you it is really not the best but it is a game after all. All you will need to play is a die and a few people you decide what your numbers will mean but assign each number a drink or a dare or challenge of some sort. Such as follows 1- give a drink out 2- take a drink 3- jump in the pool 4- get someone wet 5- pass 6-wild now these are just some ideas you can change them to whatever you would like as the seasons change its clearly summer since it is July now but you are not going to be throwing people into the pool in winter at least I hope not so feel free to be creative!

Dice Game
Catch Phrase
Catch phrase is a game that we figured out this summer that it can indeed be turned into a drinking game and let me tell you I for one before we made it into this game hated the game by itself so if you like me dislike the game catch phrase with a passion you can now give it another shot since it is more fun when you play it this way. What you will need is a large group of people and then divide the people into two teams. We divined it into two teams because the game only has that many teams on it that is why you cannot make it into a larger number of groups with less people if you had a bunch of people playing. You will also need the game catch phrase to play. Each team has one person from their team go up there this person is going to represent their team for this round (each player on each team must participate and take a turn up and representing them for a round before a player is allowed to repeat by representing the team again, if the opposing team catches you cheating by sending someone up there before everyone goes then everyone on that team has to take a shot to be penalized.) The two people flip a coin to decide who starts for the first round then after that the winner of the last round gets to pick the new category. After a category is picked you then begin the first player is the one who picked the category. They will be given a word that they have to describe without saying the word that is given to them once there team guesses it they pass it then the next person goes the game has a timer on it and whoever the timer ends on is the team that loses and has to drink so use your words wisely when describing.

Pool Volleyball
Pool volleyball is kind of similar to pool basketball when it comes to the drinking part but I will get to that in a moment. First off there are rules unlike in pool basketball these pretty much follow regular volley ball rules except you obviously have a smaller court to deal with since you are in a pool. Also this game you will need a minimum of about 4 people more is definitely preferable but that option is not always available that’s when you will just have to improvised if you want to play and have a good time with your friends and/or family. The game is played to the score of 21 points whoever gets there first well that team is a winner and the other team well they get to take a shot. No that is not the only drinking in the game also whenever a point is scored the opposing team takes a drink since they failed to save that point. Also if there is an ace (where no one on the team on the opposing side of the net hits the ball at all) then the team that got aced voted a player to take a shot (this can be anyone but is usually whoever was not paying attending and is the reason why the team did not get the point).
I rate this game at a 8 out of 10 because it is an easy game that everyone can play and it is fun that you can play it in the pool.
Drinking Pennies
I am going to try to get a few different water games up here for you guys. Diving sticks is a fun game to play at the store you can buy diving sticks that will sink to the bottom of the pool for a few dollars however I understand that you might not even want to spend that well then use penny’s you can find these everywhere. What you will do is get a set amount this will depend on how many people you have that are playing let’s just say that we have 8 people playing then we would need about 32 coins now out of these coins half of them you have to color or place a dot of some sort on only one side of the penny or mark the dive stick (some dive sticks come with points already so you wouldn’t have to do this) and then on one of the penny’s draw a frown face then you are going to throw all the penny’s threw out the pool and then the goal is to get the most pennies possible. You grab what you get without flipping them around to see what is on them. Whoever gets the most coins gets to give out a shot to whoever they would like. Likewise whoever loses by having the least has to take a ½ shot and finally whoever has the frown gets a shot. This does not start till all 32 penny’s have been taken out of the pool. Finally if you got a penny that is colored you have to take a drink for each one that is colored.
This game I rate at a 8 out of 10 this might just be because I am good at it and end up getting luck but you should try it.

Beer/pool Basketball
The weather is definitely hot out right now and all most people want to do is cool off in say the pool so here is a game for you. Beer/pool Basketball this game is played in a pool with a basketball net and ball the only catch is the rules is there really are no rules like in regular basketball such as there are no fouls. You can hold someone under water if they have a ball until they let go of the ball if this is what you wish to do. I am sure you are wondering how the beer gets involved well that part is pretty easy my friend if your team makes a shot then the other team must drink. You continue this until a team reaches the score of 15 points you can play to a different number if you would like but my family and friends think that this is a good number since none of us are that amazing at basket ball that we need the point total to be increased. However if you are good at the game of basket ball on land beware that as much as you think it is the same on land it really is not the same and there are a lot of differences because of the water but not only because of the water but also because there are no longer any rules and many people are not used to being fouled and or held on to during the game.
I rate this game at a 6 out of 10 because it is fun but if you do not have access to a pool that is a bit of a down fall.
5 links to places to shop for your next party
5 places to shop for your next party are below these will help you out the next time you are planning a party and you are looking where you should shop but you do not want to spend a lot of money. This is completely understandable since after all we are college students and I understand that cost can definitely be an issue that is why I have posted several links below so you are able to enjoy the convenience of them being in one location which will save you time so you can look if they have the products that you need. Also if they have any products that you might want looking online can save you time and money since you do not have to drive all the way to the store wasting gas and your money to just get there and find out that there is nothing there that you like. Also with the time you save you will have more time to plan and planning is a lot more fun then shopping.
3. www.AtoZpartysupplies.com
I do recommend that you start shopping and looking for the items that you would like a bit in advance such as a couple of weeks so that you can have the items shipped to you especially if you are using the sites above since many but not all are stores that are only located online and you cannot go to a store to pick up your items such as Wal-Mart that has both online shopping or in store shopping.

Themes for your next party
2. COWBOYS AND INDIANS PARTY- everyone who comes must dress up as a cowboy or an Indian, just so you know you will probably have more people dressed as cowboys since it is easier to find someone with a cowboy hat and or cowboy boots then with something to dress like an Indian such as feathers.
3. ABC PARTY- (anything but clothes) this can turn out the be very interesting with what some people come up with when you have a party like this, the only exception is whatever someone wears cannot be a normal clothes item. Some people will wear a towel, make a dress out of a Twister board, also make a skirt, dress or pants out of duct tape also shirts. Here is blog that talks about some more idea’s http://www.craftster.org/blog/?p=4176. Be creative with it and have fun!
4. MARDI GRAS PARTY- everyone loves having a reason to wear Mardi Gras beads well give them one throw a party for Mardi Gras
5. TOGA PARTY- everyone is required to wear a toga these can be made out of some random things as well but many people will most likely just make their toga out of a sheet which is probably the easiest to do.
6. HEAVEN AND HELL PARTY- are you good or evil? It can be as simple as wearing black and red or white and blue others might dress up as devils or angels
7. PAJAMA PARTY- This one is pretty self explanatory but make sure everyone has an outfit since some people will say they do not wear anything to bed and that’s what they plan on wearing to the party.
8. HALLOWEEN PARTY-It does not matter what time of year it is everyone enjoys dressing up for Halloween so why not give them another chance to dress up again in whatever they want to.
9. STOP LIGHT PARTY- everyone is the wear the colors red, green or yellow depending on their status…. Green means go- so all single people are to wear green, Red means stop- so anyone who is taken and not single is to wear red, lastly yellow this is for those people who do not know what they want also if they are not in a relationship yet but there is someone that they are seeing but not exclusively.
10. UGLY SWEATER PARTY- everyone is to wear an ugly sweater these are most common in winter around Christmas but you can do it whenever you would like but everyone who comes is to wear an ugly sweater or an ugly Christmas sweater around Christmas time. This is not to expensive since many sweaters can be found at thrift stores so they are very inexpensive also.
Hope some of these Ideas help you for your next themed party.

Never have I ever
Another common as well as very easy drinking game is called never have I ever. You will need a group of people who do not care if some of their secrets get out as well as something to drink. One of the best things about this game is that you do not need any extra things such as cards or a game or ping pong balls however there is a game of it that you can purchase at the store but having everyone come up on their own things is more fun and cheaper. What you do to play is everyone gets together and each person takes a turn and they say never have I ever and then they name something that they have never done. Example: Never have I ever done a keg stand. Everyone in the group that has done a keg stand before must drink. At first this game is easy however no one is allowed to repeat any statements that anyone else has said. Everyone must come up with a new statement and if they cannot think of one then they have to take a shot instead of just take a drink of their drink.
This game I would rate at 8 out of 10 because it is an easy game that everyone once again can play but also you do not need any extra materials to play this game. It lets you get to know the people that you hang around with this can be good and bad though but in the end it tends to be extremely funny.

Go Beer
Go beer is similar to go fish so yes it is about as basic as drinking games can and will get. First thing that you will need is a deck of cards. You will also need a group of people to play the game with you as well as alcohol. First you will deal out 7 cards to everyone that is playing then you will stick the rest of the cards in the center of the table. Each person is trying to get a match (a match consists of 2 of the same number and color for example a 2 of clubs and a 2 of spades would be a match however a 2 of hearts and 2 of spades is not a match because they are not the same color) one a person has a match they put it down and they get to give out a drink you can only give out a drink to someone who does not have a match until everyone has a match then you can give it to anyone that you would like to. The first person will ask anyone they want if they have a match if they do you have to drink if they do not have your matching card then you must drink and you will “go beer” and pick up a card from the center of the pile and then the next person will ask someone else if they have a card (do you have a 3 of clubs?). This continues until all the cards are gone or all of the players have matched all of their cards whichever comes up first.
I rate this game at a 3 out of 10 because it can get you drunk to fast also it is easy so everyone can play it but it does not require skill and people can gang up on one person giving them all of the drinks.

Hollywood Palms Cinema
This is post is one that is not like most of mine since majority are about drinking games instead this is one about a place that I recommend that you go to for a night out. I just went there for the first time and it was a lot of fun with all of my friends especially since they have a college student discount on Wednesday nights. It is called Hollywood Palms Cinema it is the most amazing theater that I have ever been to. It is located in Naperville in Illinois. I know you must be thinking come on it is just a theater how cool could it possibly be. But this theater is different the inventers really nailed it. Most people go and see dinner and a movie so they combined the two for people who have less time on their hands but still want to do both now they can. Hollywood Palms is decorated like different parts of Hollywood this is the part that makes it cool also each theater that you go into has a different theme the one that I was in was the purple room and it had every character you could imagine such as tinker bell, the three chipmunks even the incredible hulk another theater they have completely set up with a Wizard of Oz theme. I recommend this place also because they have some really amazing drinks. Also all there menu items have a play on words and have fun names in them as well such as Freddy Fingers (chicken strips) and one of their drinks is called the Bad Witch. I highly recommend next time you plan on going to dinner and a show or want drinks with your show to visit this theater it is simply amazing! http://www.hollywoodpalmscinema.com/ (link to check out show times)
Drink Jenga
The way that everyone I know has played this is they bought an original Jenga box and write on the pieces something to do on each piece some of them are blank also. They will write things on the wooden pieces such as drink for 3 seconds usually the numbers 1 to 15 are on there so that will take care of 15 of the blocks also they have another fifteen blocks say give out drinks and once again these are labeled from 1 to 15. Then there is usually one that says take a shot and one that says give a shot. The rest you can leave blank or put anything else on it that you would like such as waterfall. Then you play like you would regularly play Jenga you take out one piece at a time if you are able to pull the piece out you do what the piece says and you place it on top however if you are unsuccessful and you must drink a whole beer or take a shot you need to establish this before the game starts. What I mean by unsuccessful is if you knock over the tower and it collapses then you lose. You also are the one who has to rebuild the tower for the next round.
I rate this game at a 9 out of 10 because a lot of people can play also you were able to choose what you wanted to write on the blocks so you have some control over the game. It is a lot of fun and I recommend that you play it.

Crazy 8's
Crazy 8’s is similar to the game of Uno but is a little different if you have never played it. You can play it with a regular deck of cards. The object is to get rid of all of your cards before your opponent does such. Expecially since whoever wins the other one has to finish the rest of their drink right on the spot. If you are playing with more than two people as a person goes out they pick a person to finish their drink and they have to get a new one so they can finish the game until they are the last one or until all their cards are gone whichever happens first. Also if you put down an 8 (wild) then you pick what suit you would like as well as who has to drink. Now that we have the drinking rules down I will go over the rest of the rules in case you have never played crazy 8’s or Uno before. Each person is delta out 7 cards then the dealer puts the rest in the center as well as flips a card up now the next person (whoever is sitting next to the dealer clockwise) has to match the flipped up card if it is a 7 of hearts they have to put down a heart or a 7 they may also put down an 8 since an 8 is a wild card that is able to be played at any time.
I rate this game at a 3 out of 10 because it is just ok there is nothing about it that makes it that amazing but it is a nice and easy game also you can have as many people as you want play.
Beer Olympics
Beer Olympics is another thing that you can kind of do as a themed party and or event. This is usually an all day event that many people do not make it through and breaks will need to be taken since everyone ends up getting extremely intoxicated just a warning I am telling you before you decide to go and do this. You just need to pick a bunch of your favorite drinking games and play them. Make sure that you have a lot of beer some common choices are flippy cup, beer pong, also you can do a keg toss (see who can toss a keg the farthest). You can have a relay and have the first person drink a beer then run to the next and then they have to drink there beer and then so on until they get to the last player and that player must cross the finish line. Get medals and or prizes for each place 1st , 2nd and 3rd or you can have each place be worth so many points and then at the end of the day the top three point scores can get the medals if there is a tie you can have a tie breaker challenge such as something simple like drinking a beer. If you would like more ideas on this beer Olympic idea I will be posting an article on my website about it by this Friday and you can and should check it out at http://partyindrink.webs.com.
I have never hosted my own but I have gone to some beer Olympic events and many of my friends have and they all have a phenomenal time.

Beer Hunt
Beer hunt is originated off of Easter egg hunts that are done around Easter. Have everyone bring a six pack of cold beer that is coming and then when they get there (have them all try to show up around the same time so the beers do not get warm) everyone has to hide three of their beers and stick the other three in the fridge for other games later. Then once everyone has hid the beers (make sure everyone labels the beers so you know who’s beer is who’s) everyone is to start looking for other beers once you find one whoever’s beer that you find they have to stop looking and then they are to drink the beer that you found. Once all three of your beers are found you are knocked out and are no longer allowed to look. Also you cannot look while you are drinking a beer so drink it quickly. The last person left wins and gets to enjoy the remaining beers at their leisure. Another variation of this is to label one of your three beers as drink and whoever finds that one has to drink it that way it slows some people up who are really good at finding other people’s beers instead of you always having to drink when yours gets found. The only thing is many people do not hide those beers as well as their other beers.
I rate this game at 6 out of 10 because you can have as many people as you want play. The only thing is you are consuming a lot of alcohol in a short period of time if you did not hide your beers well which means you will be pretty much intoxicated at the beginning of the party.
Irish Poker
For Irish poker you need a deck of cards one person is the dealer and everyone is dealt a card. NO ONE is to look at their card yet. The good part about this game is the dealer gets to play as well and they cannot look at their card either.
Then each person in a circle guesses if there card is red or black if they guess correctly then they give out drinks a 5 would be 5 drinks they can split this up such as 2 to one and 3 to another or one person can get 5. If they guessed wrong then they have to drink for 5 seconds (all numbers are the number they say, jack is 10 queen is 11 king is 12 ace is only 1).
Next the person guesses higher or lower than the first card that they have ace is low. Once again if they are correct then they give out if they are wrong then they take as many as the new card shows. If the card is identical to the card you had last time you have to drink 2 times the amount on the card. So 5 would be 10.
Next is in or out do you think the next card is in between your two current cards or outside of so if you had a 5 and a 9 (6,7,8 would be inside but ace through 4 would be out also jack queen and king would be out) if you are correct you give out if you are wrong you take. And once again same is drink that amount times 2
Last card you have to guess what suit your next card is going to be (Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds) and give or take your drinks accordingly.
Lastly make your train it goes in 1 rows of 4 cards and 1 of 5 the top row is give the bottom is take you flip each card over one at a time and if anyone has that number they give or take depending on if the card is on the top or the bottom the 5th card that makes the rows uneven is the worst whoever has that number has to drink a full can of beer on the spot.

apples to apples
Apples to apples is a game that comes in a box at the store. It was not originally a drinking game however many of my friends love the game so much and play it often that they turned it into a drinking game. You can do this to if there is a game that you play often with your friends you just have to make up rules for it just like any game. In apples to apples each person is dealt 7 red cards these cards you will keep and get rid of only one card each round and then you will be able to pick one up each time as well. (if I do not explain the beginning well enough there are directions in the box) There is one caller and this rotates each round. The caller picks up the top green card then reads it and puts it down now every other player is to pick which red card they think goes best with the green card (example the green card might say “funny” if you had a red card that said clown you might choose this one) each player puts the card they choose face down in the center of the table face down so no one can see it, everyone but the caller puts a card in. The caller then picks their favorite one(make sure to mix up the cards so you don’t know who’s card is who’s) the card that is picked does not have to drink and nor does the caller everyone else must drink then the next person to the right of the caller picks a green card up and the process is repeated.
I rate this game at a 7 out of 10 it is fun game that does not require skill it is a game everyone can play and it also has a chance factor since some people pick the one that fits best others pick whatever is the most off.
