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.

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.

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.
Beergammon
Beergammon is based off of the game backgammon it is a game that is played in my family and that is how I came across this one. It is only for two people to play just like the original game of backgammon and it is played the same general rules as well the only differences really are things such as when you capture one of your opponents pieces so they have to start back on the other side of the board they have to drink for each piece the you capture. If a player rolls doubles then the other person has to drink two times. On first blood the person has to drink 5 times and then for every piece that you put into your home your opponent has to drink. The rules and the game is really simple that is if you know how to play the game backgammon. If you do not know how to play the game of backgammon I would not recommend that you play since you will most likely lose. If you are back gammoned or gammoned you also have to drink.
I rate this game at 5 out of 10 because it is pretty average and is just ok I also think that another down fall about it is that you can only have 2 people play at a time. If you have a big group of people then this is definitely not an ideal game to choose unless you had a bunch of the games since you could do a tournament.

Power Hour
Power hour may be the simplest game when it comes to drinking that has ever been created it is however not the smartest one. It is actually an extremely bad idea but I will still talk about it since I am trying to be unbiased enough to list games that I do not like. Just because I do not like it does not mean that everyone dislikes it some people love this game for a pregame and it basically should just be called get drunk as quickly as possible but here is how it goes. Following this is a group of you tube links in order to how they are to be played it will count to 60 for you along with playing music for you. You can choose any one you want or even make your own just make sure it is an hour long. Also make sure that it counts down for you each minute since it is easier when it keeps track for you since as time goes on the more intoxicated you will get and you will stop keeping track of every minute. You will also need beer and a shot glass for each person that is playing. The games is simple you are to take one shot of beer every minute. This may sound simple and at first it is but then when you think about it you will be doing 60 shots in an hour that is a lot of alcohol really fast. It depends on the size of the shot glass but that is a little over 7 beers in an hour. I do not recommend or encourage this game because most people puke and it is a game that is basically asking for your liver to die and hate you. I would rate this game a 1 out of 10 just because the concept of it is stupid the whole goal is to make it to the end which many people do not.

Garbage
I was just introduced to the game garbage over the weekend what you will need is a regular deck of cards and everyone needs a drink of their choice. Make sure you shuffle up all of your cards and then each player gets dealt ten cards each. Each player places the cards in front of them in two rows of five cars each. All of these cards are to be face down so that no one can see them even the person whose cards they are no one is to see the cards. The rest of the cards are to go into the center of the table. Whoever goes first picks a card off the top of the pile and if they get a one (being an ace) through ten places that card where it would go in there rows 1 threw 5 is the top row and 6 through ten is the second row. So if you picked up a 5 then you would put it on the top right of your pile in the first row last column then pick up that card and if that card fits somewhere in your pile then you keep it and put it there you keep doing this until you get a card you already have then you pass it to the person on your right then they get to use it unless they already have it as well then it gets passed again until someone needs it and then it is their turn. If you get a queen, jack or a king it is garbage and you put it in the center your turn is over and you for each card you take a drink jack-2, queen-3 and king is 4 also you take one drink if you had to pass your card since you already had that number. The winner is the first one to be able to flip over all their cards face up one through ten. I would rate this game a 4 out of ten because it is not the greatest drinking game but it is one that is decent.
Uno
I am sure that you are all familiar with the game of Uno however if you are not any box of Uno will tell you the rules on it. My friends and I last year changed the game that we all know and love into a drinking game. It is now one of our favorite games that we play all of the time now. You may be wondering how exactly we did this well you are in luck since I am going to tell you and the best part about it is how simple it actually is to play just like the original game is. You get the same amount of cards and the rules are the same as the original with a few twists such as a draw 2 you drink 2 and a draw 4 you take a shot. Also if someone puts down a draw 2 then you can put a draw 2 down on top of it and so can the next person and then whoever does not have a draw 2 gets stuck drinking that many times so if three people in a row had a draw 2 then that person would have to drink 6. Draw 4 is different and you cannot put them on top of each other to “save yourself.” The other rule that is different is that every time the reverse card comes up the person that it reverses to has to drink. Lastly the skip, whoever gets skipped gets to give out a drink to whomever they would like other then the person that skipped them.
I rate this game a 9 out of 10 since I enjoy it a lot it is also extremely easy to understand and you can have a bunch of people playing it if you would like to.
