Drinking Games
A drinking game is a game that is played while consuming alcoholic beverages. Drinking games have become increasingly popular over the years, as they provide a fun way to socialize and entertain. Alcohol and drinking games have been around since ancient times and many games are still played and enjoyed today.
Objective & Rules
The objective of the game will vary from game to game. Generally the game is played by one person pouring drinks for the other players, or by everyone taking turns to serve their own drinks. The rule of the game could be to choose someone randomly to take a drink, or to match drinks to the moves in the game. As long as everyone is playing according to the rules and all players agree on the rules, the game must be followed.
Examples of Drinking Games
Some of the most popular drinking games are Beer Pong, Flip Cup, Quarters, Kings Cup, Edward 40 Hands, and Mexican Ring of Fire.
Beer Pong: Beer Pong is a game in which two teams of two players each attempt to throw a ping-pong ball into their opponent’s cups.
