What Do You Need To Know Before Playing?

One cool thing about these drinking games we already know: they’re amusing! The other thing you didn’t know, is that it requires only basic stuff, nothing extra at all. Get your favorite drinks (preferably beers since they’re lighter), and you’re good to go.

We divided the rules into 3 main categories, depending on the basketball event. You may either play while watching the game on TV or while being present at an arena, the game is fun in both ways. Ps. the number of people isn’t specified. You can either play the games alone, with a small group of friends or at large gatherings. 

General Drinking Rules For Basketball Games

These rules work great while you’re watching basketball, either if you’re just at a college game, or at a major event. To have the best experience with the drinking game, divide your group into two drinking teams, and each backs up a basketball team. Now, based on that, drink depending on the rules below: 

Take one sip if: 

• One of your teammates gets blocked at the rim;
• A player of your team is fouled;
• Someone curses at the refs;
• Your opponents score;
• Your team causes a foul;

Take a big gulp if:

• Your opponents get a slam dunk;
• Your team has less than 5 points when the quarter ends;
• Someone on your team misses a free throw attempt;

Finish your drink when: 

• Your team loses by 20 points;
• A player in your team gets a yellow or red card;

Ps. you can also add these rules to the other two categories below.
