1. Across the Bridge

You need: A deck of cards and 2 or more people

Deal ten cards face down in a straight line. This is the bridge. The play starts by one player flipping up the first card in the bridge. If it’s a 2 through 10, then the player is safe and can flip another card over. If a player flips over a jack, queen, king, or ace, the player must drink (one sip of beer for a jack, two for a queen, three for a king, and four times for an ace). The player must also add cards to the bridge (one for a jack, two for a queen, and so on). The play then continues to the next player. The player that flips up the last card in the bridge is the winner. The play continues with the remaining players, the cards are shuffled and the game begins again.

2. Anchor Man

You need: One quarter, a pitcher, beer (of course), 8+ people (2 teams)

Pour beer into the pitcher. For hard core drinkers, fill it. For normal people, fill the pitcher half way. Each team alternates in play by attempting to bounce the quarter into the pitcher. The team that gets the quarter in the pitcher chooses the person to be the “anchor” for the losing team. This team then must pass the pitcher around, each taking a drink from the pitcher. This can be any amount that they’d like. The anchor must go last and finish off the remaining beer in the pitcher.

3. Asshole

You need: One deck of cards and 4 people

The play:

Start by dealing out all of the cards. The person to the left of the dealer starts by laying down any card or cards with the same face value. The next player must lay down the same number of cards as the first player and the cards must be equal or greater in face value, but match each other. For instance, if the first player lays down 2 sixes, the next player must lay down two matching cards that are equal or greater than the sixes, such as 2 tens. If the player lays down the same thing as the previous player, the next player is skipped and must take a sip of beer. If the player is unable to achieve the play, they are skipped and must take a sip of beer. Once all players are skipped, the cards are cleared and play continues until all of the cards have been played.

Ranking system:

The four players are ranked as follows for each round played.

- President: The first person to go out
- Vice President: The second person to go out
- Secretary: The third person to go out
- Asshole: The last person to go out

Ranking Privileges:

- Anyone ranking higher than you can tell you to drink whenever they want.
- The Asshole deals and clears the cards.
- The Asshole gives his two best cards to the President.
- The President gives his two worse cards to the Asshole.
- If the same person is President for three consecutive rounds, they can make a rule (such as not saying “drink”, “drank” or “drunk”).

4. Baseball

You need: Four shot glasses, a quarter, and 6+ people split into 2 teams (the more the merrier)

Don’t worry. This game doesn’t involve a bunch of drunken people swinging large wooden objects around. This is a different kind of baseball. Fill the shot glasses with beer and line them up one behind another in a straight line (or the straightest line you can if you’re already drunk).

One team starts by bouncing the quarter and trying to make it into one of the shot glasses. The first shot glass in the row denotes first base, the second one denotes second base, and so on. When the person gets the quarter in one of the shot glasses, he must drink the beer from all of the shot glasses behind it. For instance, if you get it in the front shot glass, you must drink the three behind it. After one player gets a turn, a player from the opposite team gets a turn. Make sure to keep track of how many “players” are on bases because for every “run” your team makes all of the people on the opposing team must drink.


5. Beer Blow

You need: A deck of cards, an empty bottle, and 3+ people

Place a deck of cards on an empty bottle. Each player blows cards off the deck on the bottle in turn. The one who blows the last card off the bottle must drink one beer.

Special rule: If an ace is spotted among the cards that were just blown off, the “blower” must drink a beer. If two aces were spotted, they must drink two beers and so on.

6. Beer Bomb

You need: Two tables (card tables are perfect), two cups, a ping pong ball, and two players

Spread each table apart from the other and place one cup on each table. Each player stands behind their respective table and takes one ping pong ball and attempts to get in his/her opponent’s cup by bouncing it off of his/her own table and (hopefully) into the opponent’s cup. The other player then makes an attempt at the same thing. After one player makes it in their opponent’s cup, the other player must make it in on the next turn. If he doesn’t, he has to take a drink. If he does, then his/her opponent must take a drink.

7. Beer Checkers

You need: A checker board, checkers (optional), 24 small glasses (shot glasses are perfect), and 2 people

To distinguish between whose pieces are whose, use different shot glasses or different types of beer that appear slightly different in color. If you can’t accomplish this, put red checkers under each shot glass of one opponent and black checkers under the shot glasses of the other opponent. Fill the shot glasses with beer and set the board up as you would for a regular game of checkers only using the filled shot glasses. The play of the game is the same as in checkers. However, when your shot glass is jumped, you must drink the contents. The losing player then also has to drink the remaining shots on the board.

8. Beer Hunter

You need: People (any number), cans of beer (at least one per person), and a box

Put the beers in the box, but shake one of the beers up and when you think you’ve shaken it enough, shake it some more. You want to make sure that it’s about ready to explode on its own. Place that beer in the box with the rest and mix them up without looking.

Make sure no one else is looking either. Then, everyone takes turns by grabbing one of the beers, tilting it toward their face and opening it. If your beer doesn’t go all over your face, you lose and have to drink the beer. If it does, then you win, and you get – well, a wet head and face, you get to smell like beer and look like a loser with no beer to drink. Just remember, you won!

9. Beer Ping Pong

You need: Two (for singles) or four (for doubles) players, ping pong paddles, ping pong balls, and a ping pong table

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don’t have a ping pong table, you can use a rectangular table with a make shift net. For the net, use a piece of string tied to two chairs on either side of the table and paper towels draped over the string.

Each person fills a cup with beer and puts the cup one paddle width from the end of the table and in the center with reference to “side to side” for singles. For doubles, put the cup one paddle width from the edge on the side. When playing, if you hit the ball over the net and it hits the cup of an opponent, you’re awarded one point and the opponent must take one sip from the cup. If you manage to get the ball in the cup, you are awarded five points and your opponent must drink whatever is left in the cup.


10. Beer Pot

You need: People and a large pitcher or pot filled with beer

The pot goes around in the circle and everyone takes turns drinking from the pot. Each person can drink as little or as much as (s)he wants. The winner is the one who finishes what’s in the pot and the loser is the one that took a turn immediately before him/her. The loser is out for the next round and play continues. If you’re in a setting where the beers haven’t already been purchased, traditionally, the loser buys the next round of beers. The play continues until there is one single winner.

11. Beer Snap

You need: A deck of cards and 2+ people

Deal the entire deck evenly between each player. Each player keeps all of their cards face down in a pile. Each player then takes turns flipping one card face up and placing it in the center pile. When a card is flipped that has a value that matched the previous card, the players must try to beat everyone else at saying “snap” first. The last person to shout “snap” must drink one shot of beer if the card value is 2 to 6, 2 shots if the card value is 7 to 10 and three shots of beer if the face value is a face card or an ace.

12. Beer Uno

You need: A deck of Uno cards and people

The rules are the same as in regular Uno, but there is no keeping score. Instead, every time you draw a card from the center pile, you must take a drink. When one player goes out, the other players must take one drink for every card remaining in their hand.

13. Beeramid

You need: A deck of cards and 3-7 people

The dealer lays out 15 cards in a pyramid form and deals 5 cards to each player face down. Each card in the pyramid represents one drink. Everyone looks at their own cards but they don’t let anyone else see them. The dealer flips the top card in the pyramid. If you have the card you can tell someone to drink. You can also bluff that you have the card. The players can drink or call the bluff. If you call the bluff and the person doesn’t have the same card, they drink double. If the player has the card, the person that called the bluff drinks triple. If a player has two or more of the card flipped then they can make someone drink once for each match that they have or they can distribute the drinks between more than one player.

14. Beercheesi

You need: A Parcheesi board game and 2-4 people

The rules are the same as in Parcheesi, but each time that a player is sent back or can’t move, they must take a drink. That’s it – really simple.


15. Beergammon

You need: A backgammon game and 2 people

The play of the game is exactly like backgammon. When you can’t move or you have a playing piece sent to the bar, you must drink. You must also take a drink for every piece that your opponent gets in their home spot.

16. Beeropoly

You need: Monopoly game, 2+ players

The play of the game is the same as in regular Monopoly, but there is no money exchange necessary. One hundred dollars is equal to one sip of beer. If you owe money to another player or to the bank, you must drink. If the bank owes money to you, everyone else drinks.

17. Boat Races

You need: People and beer

Everyone splits into two teams and sits opposite the other team on the floor or at a long table. At the start of the race, one person on each team drinks their beer as fast as they can. When they’re done, they put their glass, can, or bottle down. Once that person sets their empty beer container down, the next person on the team is free to drink their beer, and so on. The first team in which all of the members have finished their beers wins.

18. Brain Damage
