If you already know every little joke or even remember all Chandler’s touches of sarcasm, and you wanna try something new, but, of course, related to your favorite 6 weirdos, we’ll now explain to you in detail how to play the Friends drinking game, so you laugh, and you don’t stay sober! Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap! 

What Do You Need To Play This Drinking Game?

It’s known worldwide already, that there are drinking games that require minimal equipment. No cards, no pong balls, no cups, just some alcohol (and ideas) of course. Here’s what you need to play the Friends drinking game:

• A comfy place, some cushions, or a good table;
• TV/laptop/phone to play any Friends episode;
• Some alcoholic drinks (make exceptions if someone in the group doesn’t want to drink alcohol);

That’s all. Ps. if you have a Monica in your group, make sure you don’t make any messes. She’s a cleaning freak, you know that! Uh oh, was she cleaning in her sleep again?
