5 Drinking Games to Break the Ice

coedmagazine.com — "We all know that to throw a fantastic party you need more than just a few kegs of beer and some attractive ladies. With a few choice drinking games you can transform what started out as a social gathering into a wild (and crazy) night of debauchery and shenanigans."

      alcoholic: drink when you hear dude, sweet, shibby, continuum transfunctioner, or Zoltan!
    • ryan00davis, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1beer pong, flip cup, kings cup, *****, 7-11 (or doubles), century club (aka power hour for the short version), ***** the dealer, short bus, quarters.
      these are just the best ones i can think of off the top of my head
      (from san diego state university class of 2007)
      • ryan00davis, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1oh, and their beer pong rules are ***** up.... if you drink with whole pints you will struggle to get more than a couple games in, there are also a million different rules for the game, they should have clarified a little bit.
  • mcollins08, on 02/10/2008, -6/+0cool :)
  • KickinitLegit, on 02/10/2008, -3/+2Four-banger is an awesome game too.
  • meschmie, on 02/10/2008, -5/+52The list sucks. Unless you over the age of thirty, you know all of these games already. Beer Pong? Hell my grandma even knows that drinking game. How about some that aren't heard of as much. buried
    • Syphon0928, on 02/10/2008, -0/+10Kings (aka Circle of Death) is a much better drinking game
      • riggs32, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2kings is the *****, i always love being thumbmaster lol.
    • ttamez, on 02/10/2008, -1/+2agreed
    • quomen, on 02/10/2008, -2/+5Did you think this was meant for someone older than thirty? It's from "Coed Magazine"
      Yeah, in your face Mr. Midlife crisis.
    • GoatMonkey2112, on 02/10/2008, -2/+11Yeah, drinking games are a new invention, people over 30 couldn't possibly have heard of any of them...

      Who the ***** do you think invented this ***** you moron? Your generation is not creative enough to have made them all.
    • Chewie67, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Beer Pong is the pussy version of Beirut. Only your Grandma should play it.
  • BigBallistix, on 02/10/2008, -12/+4Pfft, I just prefer Tekkening. You get a fighting game (4 player+ wrestling ones are good) and every time time you're beaten you either take a shot or let someone really use the move on you that you were beaten with. If the winner can't perform the move, they take two shots. Protective clothing is allowed and playing as a female wrestler who kicks men in the balls isn't allowed - or Rikishi's bumface move... Yes I only invented it as I was typing.
  • TomK88, on 02/10/2008, -3/+20Best drinking games (in no particular order):

    -Beer Pong
    -Flip Cup
    -Century Club
    -Kings
    -Mario Kart 64
    -Guitar Hero
    • JergoR, on 02/10/2008, -2/+2yeah kings wooooo
    • schnikies79, on 02/10/2008, -1/+2Century club and Kings have to be the greatest drinking games of all time!

      Kings was an every weekend kind of thing. Century Club took determination and effort. The weekends were great, but then again, I was in a fraternity. :)
    • Lazyboy0172, on 02/10/2008, -1/+10Your list is much better than the site's ***** list. Mario Kart 64 is by far the greatest fun I've ever had while drinking.
    • skyshock1, on 02/10/2008, -0/+5Possible Dumbass Question™ ...how do you play the Mario Kart 64 drinking game?
      • hs112186, on 02/10/2008, -0/+4you gotta chug a beer every time you get hit by the lighting bolt
    • illu45, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3Super Smash Bros. also works quite well.
  • homedaddy, on 02/10/2008, -3/+2what about bizz-buzz? I used to love that game and it was edutational.
  • krahzee, on 02/10/2008, -9/+3It's missing ***** perhaps one of the best drinking games of all time.
    Basically you deal out a deck of cards. Everyone sits around and takes a role: president, vp, etc.. down to the ***** who is the one who deals the cards. The president swaps his worst two cards for the *****'s best two. The VP takes the second to last guys best for his worst.
    Rules are simple. You start by throwing in your lowest card (4 is lowest, ace highest with 2&3 clear cards explained later) . You can throw pairs or triples as well. The person after you can match that card or go higher, but not lower. They also have to match the number of cards. Singles,Pairs (Two 5's for example), Triples etc. Once the person who threw doubles starts the pile for example everyone has to play doubles until the pile is cleared. If the person before you is throws down the same card as the one that is on the stack you are skipped and drink. if all four of a card ends up on the table it's a social and everyone drinks and the person who threw it starts a new pile. If no one can go the person who threw the last card ,starts a new pile when it come to his turn again. one 2 clears or two 3's. You clear it, you throw the first card on the new one, so if left with a 2 & 4 you clear the pile with the two and yell last card and drop the 4 to get out.
    Oh and the most fun: you can make anyone below you in rank drink for whatever reason you want as long as you want. The goal is to get rid of your cards first thus making you prez for the next round. Second out is VP and so on. After the game everone gets up and sits down in order again
    You can also use two decks instead of one if alot of people are there.
    Another fun drinking game: WAR. spent three hours playing it with my buddy in college, Holy *****. Basically play the card game war and dring a gulp every time you lose a card flip.
    • Syphon0928, on 02/10/2008, -1/+4Your wall-o-text makes that ***** sound confusing.
  • bingobongony, on 02/10/2008, -5/+4Wow...now Digg is hte place for lame advice for socially inept people. Oh wait...I guess it is a good fit.
  • dogslayeggs, on 02/10/2008, -1/+9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-L1sDSCfiU


    why not just ***** slam like 6 shots and be done with it.
    • willb285, on 02/10/2008, -3/+3because most people arnt pussies and can drink more than 6 shots.
    • schnikies79, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2Why be done with it? Granted many people can't do 6 shots, but for those that can the night is just starting.
    • Volatile, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3...What the hell was that link all about?
  • ghostfly, on 02/10/2008, -0/+13If this is news to anyone, I feel sorry for you.
  • thedarkrabbit, on 02/10/2008, -0/+9Who needs drinking games? I can get fully loaded ALL BY MYSELF! Just like right now....
    • david5t, on 02/10/2008, -4/+1I nominate this: "most depressing Digg comment". Digg up if you agree!
  • Aleman360, on 02/10/2008, -7/+1Centurion sounds retarded. That's about as much of a "drinking game" as seeing who can drink a bottle of vodka the fastest.
    • Reostat, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2Says the guy who's never done it.
      It's more just people sit around talking the usual ***** and every minute take a shot. It just guarantees that the participants will be smashed shortly. Leads to fun nights (providing no puking).
  • Nigy, on 02/10/2008, -1/+7Actually, a few kegs of beer and some attractive ladies IS all you need for a great party.
  • T8erT0T, on 02/10/2008, -5/+20Centurion? Uh no, it's called Power Hour.
    Where was Kings, Up The River Down The River, Thumper, Flip Cup, etc.?
    Who the hell put this list together, someone from Bob Jones University who just found out what drinking was?
    • unearth, on 02/10/2008, -0/+11A power hour is 60 minutes, 60 shots. Centurion is 100 minutes, 100 shots. Same principle, not the same game.

      Also, I'm pretty sure that the Centurion brings you very close to the point of alcohol poisoning. Not asking for people to flex their beer muscles in the replies, just making a point.
      • elmetald00d, on 02/10/2008, -2/+2yeah. no it doesn't. a power hour gives you about 7 and a half beers. centurion is 12 and a half. if you're getting alcohol poisoning with 12 and a half beers, you need help. or you are just way too skinny.
        • unearth, on 02/10/2008, -1/+3"Not asking for people to flex their beer muscles in the replies, just making a point."

          "Completing the century club would raise the player's blood alcohol content to .227; the LD50, or lethal dose for 50% of humans, is .400. Any drinks had before starting or after completing the game would raise the player's BAC to even higher levels."
    • schnikies79, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2We always called it flippy cup. Anyway, above poster is right, except we called it The Century Club. Typically it was done with beer, which is kinda fowl because all the carbonation being slammed every 60 seconds would just make you sick.

      Geographical differences I guess.
  • screwy3333, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3QUARTER HOCKEY!!!!
  • fnv2001, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1All of this is absolutely retarded.
  • LStone, on 02/10/2008, -2/+25Edward 40 Hands ftw
    • WillHutch5, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1That ***** is for high school freshman. If you think drinking 2 40's is some type of accomplishment you need to go out more instead of playing 40 hands in your parents basement.
  • skyshock1, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Never have I ever. Ask the Anal Question™. Guaranteed ice-breaker.
  • chiliwilli, on 02/10/2008, -1/+7Maybe it's just me, but playing Centurian to break the ice? That's pretty intense.
  • kiwimonk, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3Looks like they forgot Drunken Cranium.
  • phewitt87, on 02/10/2008, -0/+12How bout we all just play "drink the beer"
  • bpacana, on 02/10/2008, -3/+3that CENTURION game could send some weak bastard to the hospital for alcohol poisoning it could even kill them. i think i'll try it with wine coolers first! hahahaha!
    • schnikies79, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2You don't play it with liquor, you play it with beer

      Is it even possible to get alcohol poising with beer? You get sick long before you can absorb enough alcohol to do any damage.
      • jololli, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2sure it's possible if you're able to stop yourself from puking
  • ripstuntz, on 02/10/2008, -0/+5Circle Of Death anyone?
  • fudged71, on 02/10/2008, -1/+11how much does a polar bear weigh?
    enough to break the ice :)
  • zjbird, on 02/10/2008, -0/+15 drinking games? They didn't even pick the top 5...if the list said "20 Drinking Games," I might have been interested to look for ones I haven't heard of.
  • swatward, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3Why do you need an excuse to drink?
  • bonkeykong, on 02/10/2008, -3/+1...and still no cure for cancer.
  • techmaster, on 02/10/2008, -0/+4Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy ***** on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
  • DKSprocket, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the cute college chicks in the picture and the use of the words "debauchery" and "shenanigans" in the same sentence.
  • wilf_brim, on 02/10/2008, -1/+4That is not beer pong. That is beiruit. Beer pong is a game of skill and nerve, played on a real table, with real rules. That is one step above point (point at somebody at they drink).
  • sleepingcitizen, on 02/10/2008, -4/+1dugg for having gotten smashed on all five games. tonight included
  • havokzero, on 02/10/2008, -3/+2Alcohol is for sheep. I am a wolf... I prey on the sheep.
  • redsoxmb545, on 02/10/2008, -0/+4Beirut FTW!
  • digdugdog, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1"*****" / "President" is the best.

    (Kind of fitting now that I think about it.)
  • grangeryoung, on 02/10/2008, -1/+0Thunder is a good game. Listen to ACDC's thunder and stand in a circle. When they say thunder you drink until they say thunder again. It then moves on to the next person in the line, it sucks to be caught on the corus.
    • DarkCheerio, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Thunderstruck is the greatest drinking game that has ever been created. But I must ask, who taught you how to play?
  • pennstatephil, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1dugg for the comments, not the lame article
  • CrazyForSW, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1BEER PONG OMG HOW ***** ORIGINAL
  • below413, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Smack My Bitch Cup:
    2 on 2. 4 cups in a line in front of each person. One beer per person (divided in the 4 cups). Stand across from your partner. One ball per team. Shoot at your partner's cups. It's continuous like civil war you don't have to wait for your opponent. When you hit your partner's cup he has to drink and flip it (like flip cup) then he can shoot and it continues. First team to finish all 8 cups wins. Best. Drinking. Game. Ever. Winning team gets more drunk which makes it better.
  • Scottie83, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Bunnies, anyone? Let the tiki bar show you how: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yFxMQfySywM
  • iannuttall, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1They never said it was 5 drinking games no one has ever heard of so why are so many people saying "OMG this is so lame".

    I'll give it a digg because errr...I wrote it.
  • botbotbot, on 02/10/2008, -0/+0a 24 year old man in the uk died after playing a drinking game to american pie. Drinking 6 - 8 pints in an hour can be fatal, and this guy drank about 12. Thats not to say that he couldn't take his drink, he'd just been at University for the last 3 years.
    So really that last game on the list could kill you...
  • erkokite, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1It's not Beer Pong unless you are using paddles. Without paddles it is more correctly referred to as Beirut.
  • StingingNettle, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Binge drinking is bad, mmkay.
  • Clarkbar, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0If you really need to use drinking as your main sorce of socialization and meeting woman, than you better start taking a better look at your life.
  • NickDopler, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0Don't be so boring. I guess Pong is most popular ever. Here are some stories about it, including history: http://planetofbeer.com
    Interesting ?
