Bottoms Up: Eight Great Drinking Games

BestCollegeReviews.org has published an incredibly useful infographic detailing the eight most popular drinking games. Each game is outlined, complete with the basic rules, along with tips and tricks to help you outlast, outwit, and out-drink your opponents. Most interesting, however, is the history behind these games. For example, did you know that beer pong may have been invented at Dartmouth back in the 1950-1960’s? Not only is this game steeped in history, but it’s also facing controversy today, as some communities are attempting to outlaw the game being played outside due to health concerns over herpes and mononucleosis. From Edward 40 Hands to Flip Cup and Power Hour, this infographic will give you all the information you need in order to play each of these popular drinking games. via http://www.bestcollegereviews.org/drinking-games/

AKA RULES HISTORY WHAT YOU'LL TIPS NEED EDWARD 40 Players duct tape a 40-ounce beer to each of their hands and may not free their hands until their beers are empty. HANDS Need to check a text on your phone? Too bad. Need to use the bathroom? That's really too bad. House rules differ as to whether players must drink BOTH bottles before removing the tape, or whether they can free one hand at a time. 80 OUNCES TO FREEDOM And punishment for those who can't finish also varies but can include the player having to pour the beer all over & themselves.

Don't drink any other liquids before playing this game, use the bathroom before you start, and pace yourself. FLIP Two teams with an equal number of players stand on opposite sides of a table. In front of each player is a plastic cup with a set amount of beer (the amount varies by house rules-and who poured it). CUP At the beginning, the first member on each team drinks his or her beer. They then place their empty cup at the edge of the table, face-up, and using a quick, one-touch motion, attempt to flip the cup over so that it lands CUPS, TAPS, FLIPPY CUP, face-down on the table. When a player successfully flips his cup, the turn passes to the next player on his team. The first team to successfully flip all their cups is the TIPPY CUP winner.

TABLE THAT YOU DON'T CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT According to some drinking game aficionados, the game was invented by college students in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1987.

BEER A TABLE Two two-to-four player teams take turns throwing pingpong balls at a triangle of cups on their opponents' side of the table. If a ball lands in a cup, the contents are consumed by the other team and the cup is placed aside or reinserted, empty, into the triangle. If a member of the opposing team throws a ball into an empty cup, they must drink one of their own cups. The first to eliminate all of the opponent's cups is the winner. The game may have its origins in a beer pong played with paddles by the fraternities of Dartmouth in the 1950s and 1960s. Some communities in the U.S. have attempted to ban the game from being played outdoors for health concerns, both over binge drinking and the spread of diseases such as herpes and mononucleosis. QUARTERS A cup (either empty or filled with alcohol) is placed in the middle of a table, at least 10 inches away from all the players.

CUP Players take turns flipping over cards and must drink or watch others drink based on the value of the card. For instance, in some variations, if a player turns over a 5, all women at the table must drink. If a player turns over an 8, the table must go into a round of "Never Have 1 Ever." If a player flips over a King, they must pour the contents of their drink into the King Cup at the center of the table, and the last player to flip a King must chug the King Cup.
