If you’ve ever attended a party with the intention of getting drunk chances are you’ve played a drinking game. There are probably more drinking games than there are drinks to get you drunk but there are 10 core games that every boozehound should know, practice and play. We have taken the time to compile a list of these 10 games along with their basic rules to get you started. I expect every reader to play at least 6 of these games this weekend.
Beirut - What you need: 4 players, 12 cups, 2 ping-pong balls, 1 long table and beer. How you play: This is what most people call beer pong. The teams stand at opposite ends of the table each with a six cup pyramid in front of them. The cups should be one-third to half full of beer and players alternate drinking the cups when the opposing team sinks a ball into a cup. Full Rules
Caps - What you need: 4 players, 2 cups, a lot of bottle caps and beer. How you play: Split up into two teams of two and sit across a room or roughly 10 feet from each other. Fill the cup about halfway with water and place it on the floor in between teammates at about the knee. Players alternate tossing caps at the other team’s cup. If you’ve got big balls each teammate drinks half a beer for each cap made by the opposing team or for a tamer game go with just one-third of a beer. The standard game plays to 11. Full Rules
Flip Cup - What you need: At least 6 players, a keg cup for each player and beer. How you play: Split the total number of people into even teams and give each person a cup one-third to half full of beer. Starting from one end of the table players must pound their beer and then flip the empty cup before the next player on the team can start their beer and continue the relay. Full Rules
Century Club - What you need: The more players the better, a shot glass for each player, about 9 beers per player and a clock. How you play: Each player takes a shot glass and takes a shot of beer a minute for 100 minutes. If you puke you fail. I had a friend puke at 96, it’s sad to see all that effort go to waste. Full Rules
Beer Pong - What you need: 4 players, 4 paddles, 1 Ping-Pong table, 2 cups and beer. How you play: This is the one with the paddles. Place a cup in the center at each end of the table one paddle length away from the edge. The game proceeds with basic ping-pong rules. If you hit the opposing team’s cup it’s one drink and if you sink the ball into the cup the other team has to finish their beer. Full Rules
Boat Race - What you need: At least 4 players, a keg cup for each player and beer. How you play: This is just like flip cup except without all of that flipping cup bullshit. Split the players up into even teams and then just have a straight head-to-head relay pound off. Full Rules
Kings Cup - What you need: Lots of people, a deck of cards and beer. How you play: This is the game with the deck of cards spread out and all the rules that no one can remeber like “6 is for dicks”, “4 for whores”, “categories” and “questions”. Some people like to play with full beer in the center and the player that draws the last king has to pound it. Other people like to play with an empty glass in the center and each person that draws a king poors a little of their drink into glass. The last person to draw a king drinks whatever is in the glass. You can choose your poisen and hit the link for all the rules you won’t remember at game time. Full Rules
Quarters - What you need: At least 6 players, 2 glasses, 2 quarters and beer. How you play: Every sits in a circle and the cups start at opposite sides of the group. When the games starts you try to bounce the quarter into the glass and then pass it to your left. If one glass catches up to the other glass that shitty quarter bouncer drinks. Full Rules
Asshole - What you need: At least 5 players, a deck of cards and beers. How you play: Everyone has played Asshole. In fact I would bet most drinkers learn to play Asshole before they’re even of legal drinking age. It’s a fairly complicated card game so I’m not going to try to summarize the rules here. Basically the President runs the show and the asshole drinks. Hit the link for a full breakdown. Full Rules
Binge Drinking - What you need: Booze, and lots of it. How you play: Drink until you can’t see straight and then keep drinking.

Beirut is the most fun game to start the night off with a group of buddies but a late night game of King’s Cup with a group of horny chicks is definitely the best way to end the night.
