Drinking card games are highly popular in US colleges and at any party! Combine different games and a good refreshing drink or three. Pick any of the following games to get the party started!
The dealer deals and everyone antes a shot glass. The betting rounds and rules are the same as Texas Holdem - only instead of betting chips or money, you bet shots.
After the hand is over, the winning hand doesn't drink any. Whoever folded or lost in a showdown has to drink the amount of shots they put in.
You best play it with 4-9 players: if you have only 2 or 3 players, the game might only last 20 minutes till someone passes out!
Texas Holdem Rules
Don't know how to play Texas Holdem? Learn from this video:
Beer poker-shot ante works exactly the same. Only difference: you will bet shots instead of chips.
Make sure to stay safe, and try not to pass out, and definitely DON'T drive home after one of these games.
Black and Red
Another fun and simple drinking card game is Black and Red.
You need:
a deck of cards
and at least 4 people
You play Black and Red by choosing one player to start. He must guess if the next card in the deck is a red card (heart or diamond), or a black card (Club or Spade).
If he is right, he picks someone else at the table to drink a shot. It is still his turn! Until he is...
Wrong: He has to drink, and the next player has to guess the next pick.
The game goes on until everyone is done with the stack of cards, there is no time limit.
Why drinking games are so popular
Drinking card games can be played at any age (just don't drink alcohol when you are not old enough!)
If you are underage or need to drive, stick with
Water (see them run to the toilet all the time!)
Pop (burping contests, anyone...?)
Juice (vegetable juice, very sour or sweet juice - get creative!)
Everyone likes party hard and enjoy themselves. Especially in college! They drink until they can't or shouldn't anymore.
A classic: combine the suspense of Poker with the party atmosphere of drinking games! Just play poker: instead of betting on money you can bet
on drinks
or removal of clothes (Strip-Poker)
If you play with a pot, you can have everyone pour drinks in a big mug instead of betting chips. The losers has to down all. Careful with mixing different drinks!
Or maybe not, if you want to really punish the loser!
Bullshit
The last game in this series is called "Bullshit".
You deal out the entire deck to the players. They take turns placing down a certain number of cards face down with decreasing card.
