1. Rage Cage
Equipment needed: 20 to 30 plastic cups, ping-pong balls and alcohol. | Players: 6 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Rage Cage’:There’s no better way to start this list, rather than with Rage Cage! Start by placing one cup in the center of the table, filling it full with alcohol, and spreading the other cups around (⅓ with alcohol), creating a circular pattern. Two players holding the balls must chug the cup nearest to them, and try to bounce the ball into that empty cup. If successful, pass the cup & ball to the next player. If you throw the ball in one of the middle cups, you stack cups and try to bounce into that stack.
2. Never Have I Ever
Equipment needed: A list of questions, and drinks. | Players: 2 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Never Have I Ever’:Never Have I Ever never fails to amaze us! All you gotta do is borrow a few favorite questions from our Never Have I Ever questions list, sit in a circle, and read the questions out loud. Every time you relate to a prompt, meaning, you want to answer ‘I have’, you take a sip of your drink. Otherwise, you stay sober for that round and wait for the next questions.
3. Remake The Sound
Equipment needed: Home items that make sounds, and drinks. | Players: 2 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Remake The Sound’:This has got to be one of the funniest games ever! To play, when it’s your turn, you have to make a sound using an object: lighting a match, shaking a bottle, hitting something with a spoon, and basically everything that comes into your mind. Then, you must pick someone who has to remake that specific sound with their mouth, as identically as they can. Whenever someone’s too far from the original sound, must drink. Since this is going viral all over TikTok, you may see how the game goes here.
4. Drunk Cards Against Humanity
Equipment needed: CAH deck of cards, and alcohol. | Players: 4 to 20+;
Everything you need to know about ‘Cards Against Humanity’: We hate to admit it, but Drinking Game Cards Against Humanity is our favorite version! When playing, besides the standard rules, you’ll also apply the drinking ones. There are a few ways of playing, but our favorite includes giving as many shots as the card rejections (if your card is picked as the favorite), shuffling your cards for others in the deck in exchange for one shot, and also competing to drink the shot faster if you want your card to be picked. Endless fun!
5. Drunk Twister
Equipment needed: Twister equipment, shot glasses, and alcohol. | Players: 2 to 4;
Everything you need to know about ‘Drunk Twister’:There’s no better thing than getting comfy at home, playing Twister, and having a few drinks. Besides the basic rules, there are some twists added. Start by placing shot glasses in each of the circles on the mat. When you occupy a circle on the mat, you drink. If you slip, you also drink. If you fall (meaning, you touch the floor with your elbow or knee), you’re out of the game but must finish a drink as well. The game ends whenever you’ve drank all shot glasses!
6. Circle Of Death
Equipment needed: A deck of cards, an unopened can, and drinks. | Players: 2 to 8;
Everything you need to know about ‘Circle Of Death’:To start playing Circle Of Death, place the can or cup in the center, and spread the deck of cards around, face-down. Then, you’re gonna take turns drawing cards and completing actions based on the cards. If it’s an Ace, all players must waterfall. If it’s a card with values from 2 to 5, drink as many sips as the value. If it’s a 9, you must start a game of Categories. If it’s a King, you may make up a new game rule. However, you find the full instructions in the link attached above.
7. Walker Bottle
Equipment needed: 2 plastic bottles, tape, an extra bottle of alcohol, and drinks | Players: 3 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Walker Bottle’: Since when do bottles walk? Well, to play this drinking game at home, start by marking 7 spaces with plastic tape (just as shown in the picture). Then, both players at a time must flip their plastic bottles. For every correct flip, you can move the alcohol bottle one space forward to your opponent. Both players aim to move the bottle all the way to the first space on the opponent’s side because then they must drink it, and also lose the game! It’s similar to playing Hook Ring Toss.
8. Straight Face
Equipment needed: pieces of paper, pens, and alcohol. | Players: 4 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Straight Face’:Who doesn’t love a game that makes you burst into laughter? To play straight face, all players must write down something funny, inappropriate, hard-to-read, or really, anything that comes into their mind, in small pieces of paper, and fold them in half. Then, after all the pieces have been mixed, players take turns drawing one piece of paper and reading out loud, without giggling or laughing. If successful, the turn is passed to the next player. If not, that player must drink!
9. Truth Or Drink
Equipment needed: an empty bottle, a list of questions, and drinks | Players: 3 to 8;
Everything you need to know about ‘Truth Or Drink’:Truth Or Drink is the game of confessions, and drinks. Simply, sit in a circle, and spin a bottle to tell who’s gonna answer the questions (whoever the bottle points to). Then, keep an eye on our Truth Or Drink list of questions, and ask one of the questions you like. If the person who must answer thinks the question is too personal, or simply doesn’t prefer to answer, has to drink. So you either get deep or get drunk!
10. Movie Drinking Game
Equipment needed: a movie you like, and drinks for everyone | Players: 1 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Movie Drinking Game’:The first good thing is that you can play a movie drinking game all by yourself! The point of the game is that you’ll play a movie (whatever the group prefers), keep your beers neer, and drink every time the rules tell you to. For instance, you’ll drink when a fantasy scene appears, someone speaks a foreign language, you see nudity, or whatever. It really depends on the movie. We already have a list of the best 20 Movie Drinking Games with all the rules included, so make sure to check that out!
11. Slap Cup
Equipment needed: around 20 plastic cups, alcohol, and 2 ping-pong balls | Players: 4 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Slap Cup’:To start playing this large-group drinking game, start by arranging all cups in a hexagon, and filling them ⅓ with alcohol, besides two cups, which are placed in front of two players. These two players must try to bounce the ball into the empty cup in front of them and pass the ball & the cup to the next player. However, if you’re bouncing the ball, but the player on your left is trying to bounce it into their cup, you must slap their cup away. That player must then grab another cup from the middle of the table, drink the alcohol, and then try to bounce the ball again.
Here’s a video of people playing it, in case you need to watch it: Slap Cup Drinking Game.
12. Pin Pon Pan
Equipment needed: drinks only. | Players: 3 to 10;
Everything you need to know about ‘Pin Pon Pan’:Applause for this cool Japanese drinking game! The game is pretty simple tho. The first player must say ‘Pin’, the second says ‘Pon’, and the third says ‘Pan’. The third player, after saying ‘Pan’, must point to another player who must start the circle all over again, meaning, say ‘Pin’. Whoever messes up the words (their order), takes too long to say something, or is unaware that it’s their turn, must drink.
13. The Great American Challenge
Equipment needed: beers, weed or cigars, 2 large pizzas, a puzzle, and a timer. | Players: 4 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘The Great American Challenge’:The Great American Challenge is not for the weak. To play, there should be 2 or more teams.

All teams going at once must first finish all their cans of beer (usually 30 cans), then finish 2 grams of weed or cigars, eat two large pizzas, and finally, complete a puzzle. The latter can be super-challenging when you’re, you know, drunk, high, and full on the stomach. The first team to complete all 4 phases, wins!
14. Drunk Jenga
Equipment needed: Jenga tiles, Sharpies, and drinks. | Players: 2 to 6;

Whoever crashes the Jenga tower, has to down their drink.
15. Ride The Bus
Equipment needed: a deck of standard cards, and alcohol. | Players: 2 and more;
Everything you need to know about ‘Ride The Bus’:This drinking card game starts with guessing if the next card will be red or black. The second phase includes guessing if the next card will be higher or lower than the previous card. The third phase is all about guessing if the card will be in between or out of the previous 2 cards. The last guessing phase, makes you guess the suit. Then, you’ll build the pyramid, and give drinks based on the cards in your hand that match with the pyramid ones. Last but not least, the player with the most cards remaining, rides the bus, and drinks for every card on the Court. You may read the full rules here.
16. Beer Pong
