People sometimes play drinking games when they attend parties where everyone is having some alcohol. There are all kinds of drinking games you can play. Some involve playing cards or other props, such as balls or even television programs. But when you play drinking games, it's important to make sure people don't have too much to drink. It can be easy to overindulge when you are playing a game. Also, make sure everyone playing has a ride home. - This is an easy drinking game to play. All you need are some people, alcohol and playing cards. One person is the dealer. The first player takes a card. You can determine who goes first any way you want. Go youngest to oldest or have players draw cards and the highest card goes first, for example. Then, she guesses whether the next card will be higher or lower. If she guesses correctly, she gets to guess again. If she keeps guessing correctly, on her third turn she can decide whether to keep going or let someone else try. If she guesses wrong on the first card, she has to drink and another player goes. A player who gets several consecutive cards correct and then misses one has to drink for every card he has gotten right.
- Beer pong is a popular drinking game with young people. Set up a table that is between 7 and 9 long high and about 30 inches high. On either end, situate plastic cups in a pyramid formation. The number of cups is up to you, but you generally have a row of four, then a row of three and so on. Then, people stand on either side of the table. You can play with one person per side or you can play in teams. The players attempt to throw ping pong balls into the other team's cups. Take turns throwing the ball; only one ball is used. If you ring the cup, the other team has to drink the beer inside it. The goal is to make your opponents finish all their beer before yours is gone. If you ring a cup, you get to throw again. If you play this game in teams, it's up to you to decide which order you go in. Consider going youngest to oldest on each team, to make things easiest. Then, if someone rings a cup, that person gets to choose who on the other team has to drink the beer.
- Create a drinking game around your favorite television show or movie. For example, watch the movie "Animal House" with your friend. Everyone has to drink anytime someone on the movie says "drink," "drank," "drunk" or "beer." If you play the game using "The Simpsons," drink every time someone says "d'oh," makes a crank phone call, eats donuts or complains. For a holiday party, play a drinking game while watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." For that party, players drink every time the word "who" is said.
