8 Drinking games that you should never miss out on

Drinking games have long been a firm favourite, not only are they great fun, but they tend to be more socially engaging than sitting around awkwardly sipping beers comparing notes on how many lectures you made it to that week. These super easy drinking games are perfect for pre-drinking with friends and work as perfect ice-breakers for when you're getting to know people a bit better.

Never Have I Ever

Never Have I Ever is a great game to know your friends' secrets! You have to share something that you have never done before and the people who have will take a sip of their drink. For example, when I say, "Never have I ever been arrested," all those in the group who have been arrested will have a drink. The key here is to make your friends admit their embarrassing stories so watch out for what you say!

Drunk Jenga

Drunk Jenga is like normal Jenga but with funny and crazy challenges written on each of the 54 Jenga blocks. The trick is to pick up one block from the set pile of blocks with one hand and place it on top of the pile. If the stack falls, you chug your drink and pick up two blocks and complete the challenges.

Flip Cup

Flip Cup is a good starter for a house party. There are two teams competing against each other. Both teams stand on opposite sides of the table and keep their cups with drinks at the edge. Everyone must finish their drink and flip the cup with there fingers to the upside-down position before the next member begins. The first team to complete this wins.

Beer Pong

Beer pong is one of the best beer games to play at parties. Set up a table with plastic cups at each end, arranged in a triangle shape (like a ten pin bowling).Players at each end take it in turns to try and throw a ping pong ball into the cups, which we forgot to mention, are conveniently filled with beer. If you get the ball in the cup, your opponent must drink it. The first side to demolish the other side's cups wins.

Bite the Bag

This is a fun game which I am definitely trying this weekend. So you keep a bag on the ground and take turns to lean and pick it up using only your mouth. Mind you, no hands allowed. If you can't pick the bag, you have to drink. As each round passes, an inch of the bag is chopped, and this goes on for as many rounds till only the bottom of the bag is left.

Kings Cup

Kings Cup is best enjoyed with a large number of people. Every time you pick a card, you have to do what the list below says. The more drunk, the better!

Centurion

This is definitely not one for the faint-hearted (or lightweights) among us – as you might guess from the name, this games involves drinking 100 shots in as many minutes. In order to complete the game without having to get your stomach pumped, we suggest going for low alcohol beer or cider rather than anything stronger (you'll thank us later).This is a popular one for watching a football game – but you do run the risk of having no idea what's going on if it goes to penalties!

Straight Face

When you get drunk, it's tough to keep a straight face and this game challenges just that. You write funny or inappropriate sentences on small pieces of paper - ones that are tough to read while keeping a straight face. Each player picks up a chit of paper and tries to keep a straight face. The one who giggles or reacts has to drink!
