Fun Drinking Games for Your Next Party

Looking to take your party to the next level? Drinking games are a fun way to break the ice, spark laughter, and bring everyone together. Whether you’re sipping wine, cracking open beers, or mixing up cocktails, there’s a game for every taste and vibe. And don’t worry—we’ll keep things light-hearted and emphasize the importance of moderation. After all, the goal is fun, not a morning hangover!

Here are some entertaining drinking games to try at your next gathering:

1. Never Have I Ever: Wine Edition

This classic game is a perfect choice if you’re serving wine and want to encourage storytelling.

• How to Play: Each person takes turns saying something they’ve never done, starting with, “Never have I ever…” Anyone who has done the activity mentioned takes a sip.
• Example: “Never have I ever danced on a table.” Cue the guilty sips and hilarious confessions.

Pro Tip: Keep the questions fun and light to maintain the positive vibe.

2. Beer Pong: The Classic Crowd-Pleaser

Beer Pong is a time-tested favorite that’s all about precision and teamwork.

• How to Play: Set up a triangle of cups on each end of a table. Players take turns trying to toss a ping pong ball into the opposing team’s cups. If the ball lands in a cup, the opposing team drinks its contents.
• Variations: You can switch it up by using wine or spirits (in smaller portions) for a classy twist.

Pro Tip: Use water in the cups for hygiene and have players drink from their own glasses.

3. Kings (Ring of Fire)

A card-based game that works with any type of alcohol.

• How to Play: Spread a deck of cards face down in a circle around an empty glass. Each card has a specific rule:
  • Ace: Waterfall—everyone drinks in a chain reaction.
  • King: Pour some of your drink into the center cup.
  • Queen: Ask a question; the person answering last drinks.

• Objective: Avoid pulling the final King card, as the unlucky soul must drink the contents of the center glass!

Pro Tip: Print out a cheat sheet of card rules to help first-time players.

4. Sip or Spill: Trivia Challenge

Perfect for those who enjoy a good mental challenge while sipping on their favorite drink.

• How to Play: One person plays quizmaster and asks a mix of general knowledge and party-specific questions. Anyone who answers incorrectly takes a sip.

• Example Questions:
  • What year was the first bottle of Champagne created?
  • Which South Sudanese dish pairs best with white wine?

Pro Tip: Add a few questions related to your friends or the party theme to personalize the game.

5. Drunk Jenga

Turn the classic tower-building game into an epic drinking game.

• How to Play: Write drinking challenges on Jenga blocks (e.g., “Take two sips,” “Swap drinks with someone”). Players pull blocks and follow the instructions while trying to keep the tower from toppling.
• Challenges: Be creative but keep it simple: “Tell a joke” or “Compliment the person to your left.”

Pro Tip: Have backup Jenga blocks in case the game gets overly enthusiastic.

6. Two Truths and a Lie: Spirit Style

Add a twist to this classic icebreaker by involving drinks.

• How to Play: Each player shares three statements about themselves: two true and one false. The rest of the group guesses the lie. Those who guess wrong take a sip.
• Example:
  • “I once met a celebrity.”
  • “I’ve never eaten pizza.”
  • “I’ve gone skydiving.”

Pro Tip: Encourage creativity and avoid overly obvious lies.

The Golden Rule: Drink Responsibly

While these games are all about having a good time, it’s essential to prioritize safety and moderation. Here are a few tips:

• Ensure everyone has a designated driver or a safe way to get home.
• Offer non-alcoholic alternatives for those who don’t drink.
• Keep water and snacks on hand to keep everyone hydrated and happy.
