1. Beer Pong
Beer Pong is a beloved drinking game where players aim to throw ping pong balls into cups of beer arranged on a table. The objective is simple yet challenging: sink your opponent’s cups before they sink yours. It’s played in teams or individually, with each successful shot resulting in the opponent drinking the beer in the cup. Beer Pong combines skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, making it a staple at parties and gatherings where friendly competition and socializing go hand in hand.
To play Beer Pong, you typically need the following items:
- Ping Pong Balls: These are the balls used to throw into the cups.
- Cups: Usually, 16-20 ounce plastic cups are used, filled with beer (or another beverage of choice).
- Table: A long, rectangular table is ideal for setting up the game. It should be sturdy enough to support the cups and allow players to throw the balls.
- Beer or Beverage: Each cup is typically filled with beer, but non-alcoholic beverages can be used as an alternative.
- Water Cups: Additional cups filled with water are often used for cleaning the ping pong balls between throws.
- Playing Space: Enough space around the table for players to move and throw comfortably.
- Optional: Some players use a rack or pyramid formation for the cups, though this isn’t strictly necessary.
These items together create the setup for a fun and competitive game of Beer Pong, combining skillful throws with social drinking.
2. Flip Cup
Flip Cup is a lively and fast-paced drinking game where teams compete to drink and flip their cups upside down. Players stand in a line opposite their opponents, each with a cup partially filled with beer or another beverage. Upon a signal, players must drink the contents of their cup and then attempt to flip it upside down by flicking the rim with their fingers. The goal is for each player to successfully flip their cup before the next teammate can begin. It’s a game that emphasizes teamwork, speed, and a bit of dexterity, making it a popular choice for social gatherings and parties.
To play Flip Cup, you typically need the following items:
- Plastic Cups: Each player or team needs one plastic cup, typically 16-20 ounces in size, filled with beer or another drink of choice.
- Table or Surface: A long table or flat surface where teams can stand opposite each other with enough space to flip their cups.
- Team Setup: Divide players into two teams, with each team standing on opposite sides of the table.
- Drinks: Fill each cup with an equal amount of beer or beverage.
- Optional: Some groups use additional cups of water for rinsing the drinking cups between rounds.
Flip Cup is a straightforward game that requires minimal setup but encourages energetic participation and teamwork among players.
3. Quarters
Quarters is a popular drinking game that requires players to bounce a quarter off a table and into a cup of beer. Players take turns attempting to successfully land the quarter in the cup. If successful, the player nominates another player to drink the beer in that cup. The game continues with each player taking turns bouncing the quarter. It’s a game of skill and precision, often played in a relaxed social setting where laughter and friendly competition abound.
To play Quarters, you’ll need the following items:
- Quarters: Small coins that players will bounce onto the table.
- Cups: Typically, players use small to medium-sized cups filled with beer or another drink of choice.
- Table: A flat and stable surface for bouncing the quarters.
- Additional Cups: These are used for drinking the beer once a player successfully lands a quarter in a cup.
- Optional: Some players use a designated “no bounce” line on the table to ensure fair play.
Quarters is a simple yet entertaining game that requires minimal setup and encourages friendly competition and social interaction.
4. Dizzy Bat
Dizzy Bat is a hilarious and challenging drinking game where participants spin around a baseball bat several times, then attempt to chug a beer before racing to a finish line. The spinning disorients players, adding a fun and dizzying twist to the game. It’s a test of balance, coordination, and speed, often resulting in laughter and memorable moments as participants navigate the dizzying effects of the bat spins while trying to maintain their composure to drink and run.
To play Dizzy Bat, you typically need the following items:
- Baseball Bat: A standard baseball bat is used for spinning. It should be sturdy and safe for participants to hold and spin.
- Beer or Beverage: Each participant needs a can or cup of beer. The amount can vary, but typically it’s a standard drink size.

These items are all you need to set up and enjoy a round of Dizzy Bat, a fun and challenging game that combines elements of physical activity with drinking.
5. Beer Chug Relay
Beer Chug Relay is a fast-paced drinking game where teams compete to chug beers in relay fashion. Each team member must finish their beer before passing the cup to the next teammate in line. The first team to successfully chug all their beers and cross the finish line wins. It’s a test of speed, teamwork, and drinking ability, adding an exciting and competitive element to any gathering or party.
To set up and play a Beer Chug Relay, you’ll need the following:
- Cups: Each team member should have a cup filled with an equal amount of beer. The amount can vary depending on preference, but typically, it’s a standard drinkable amount.

These essentials create an environment where teams can compete in a spirited relay race that tests both speed and drinking ability in a fun and responsible manner.
6. Beer Mile
The Beer Mile is a unique and challenging race that combines running with beer consumption. Participants must drink a full beer (typically 12 ounces) before each quarter-mile lap they run, totaling four laps and four beers. The race requires both speed and the ability to handle carbonated beverages under physical exertion. It’s a test of endurance, strategy, and sometimes stomach capacity, often performed in a festive and lighthearted atmosphere among friends or at organized events. Completing the Beer Mile is both a physical accomplishment and a social experience that highlights the intersection of athleticism and camaraderie.
To set up and participate in a Beer Mile, you typically need the following:
- Beer: Four cans or bottles of beer per participant, typically 12 ounces each. The beer should be chilled and ready to drink.
- Running Track or Course: A designated track or course that measures a quarter-mile (approximately 400 meters) per lap. This can be a standard track, a marked course, or a measured route.
- Cups or Containers: Cups or containers to pour the beer into before each lap. Some races use cans or bottles directly, but pouring into a cup before starting each lap is common for standardization and safety.
- Timing System: A way to time each participant’s performance, whether it’s manually with a stopwatch or electronically with a timing device. This ensures accurate tracking of laps and overall times.
- Safety Considerations: Participants should be of legal drinking age and able to drink responsibly. It’s important to have designated drivers or alternative transportation options available for safety after the event.
- Optional: Some races may have specific rules or variations, such as requiring certain types of beer, using specific containers, or incorporating additional challenges.
The setup for a Beer Mile is relatively straightforward, focusing on the combination of running and beer consumption in a controlled and enjoyable environment.
7. Shotgun Race
Shotgun Race is a fast-paced drinking game that challenges participants to open and consume a can of beer as quickly as possible. To play, each player punctures a hole near the base of their beer can, typically using a sharp object like a key or a special tool designed for this purpose. Once the hole is made, participants tilt the can up and chug the entire contents through the puncture hole. The first person to finish their beer wins the race. Shotgun Race is not only about speed but also requires a steady hand and a quick ability to drink under pressure, making it a thrilling addition to any beer-centric event or party.
To play Shotgun Race, you’ll need the following:
- Beer Cans: Each participant needs a can of beer. It’s common for participants to use standard 12-ounce cans, but the size can vary.
- Sharp Object: Typically, a sharp object like a key or a specialized tool (like a “shotgun tool”) is used to puncture a hole near the base of the beer can. This hole allows for faster drinking.
- Drinking Area: A designated area where participants can safely open and consume their beers. This could be indoors or outdoors, depending on the event setting.
- Optional: Some participants may prefer to have a container or bucket nearby to catch any spilled beer during the puncturing process.
Shotgun Race is a straightforward and energetic game that requires minimal setup but plenty of enthusiasm from the participants. It’s a popular choice for casual gatherings or competitive drinking events due to its simplicity and the adrenaline rush it creates.
8. Beersbee
Beersbee, also known as Polish Horseshoes, is an outdoor drinking game that combines frisbee throwing with a bit of strategy and precision. To play, two teams set up two poles with empty bottles or cans placed on top of each pole. The objective is to throw a frisbee and knock over the opposing team’s bottle or can without the frisbee being caught. Points are scored based on successful hits and catches. Beersbee is popular for its simple setup, active gameplay, and the opportunity to enjoy some drinks outdoors while competing with friends or family.
