Apart from last man standing (pound a pint at the students union until we all pass out,) all I know is the golf game, each pint is a par three and must be sunk in three.
Anyone got anything better?
I Never…best played with good friends.
Simple game…everyone starts out with a full drink. It’s best to play this sitting around a big table. One person stands up and states " I never (fill in the blank with something you’ve never done). Anyone at the table who has done that has to take a drink.
That’s why it best played with good friends because it can pretty vicious-last time me and my friends played…let’s just say it was easy to tell who was getting singled out.
a good and deceptively simple game is The Question Game.
The rules are super simple. someone starts by asking a question directed at a specific person (not necessarily in any order), who must then ask another question of another person etc…
Anyone who answers a question, says something that is not a question (statement/exclamation), or repeats a question has to drink. You can also play so that the person who screwed up has to answer the question. The person who asked the last question starts the game again.
It all starts off easy enough, but before you know it, you’re drunk and asking why someone’s socks are dragons. more fun than a boatload of hookers!
This game is a great warm-up for I Never.

is another good resource 
Don’t know where my head is today…more rules for the question game:
You also have to drink if you pause or laugh before firing off another question.
Makes it a little tougher and the questions dirtier and/or more absurd
The only one I really like to play is called “Lets all have a few drinks and take our clothes off” Sip em, pound em, however you want to do it, but everyone gets nekkid an hour after you start.
Strip poker with drink ante’s is good one too if you are with people on the shy side 
Tequila, m’dear, you like anything where you can take your clothes off…
The drinking just adds a little more excitement to the mix!
Yeah, so? Drinking just helps other people loosen up enough so that I’m not the only one
I’m not much of a drinking person, but hell, I’d take off my clothes without a drink.
Never said there was a problem with it… just making an observation.
And I really shouldn’t be one to talk, since I was once introduced on a board by a friend as “The one with no clothes on”!
I know a super fun drinking game called “Drunk Driver”. Trashy name, trashy fun. There are two parts to the game. It’s very very easy, but will take a little bit of explaining. Anyone not really interested in the explanation can skip on to the next post.
This game is a ticket to where you’re going FAST. Last time I played this, I ended up on a coffee table (not mine) lip-synching “Tainted Love” into a beer bottle. And it was videoed. Good times.
You’ll need a deck (or two) of cards.
Part 1 of Drunk Driver:
Begin by laying cards face down on a table. Line 5 cards side by side in a row, 4 above them, then 3, then 2, then 1. Looks like a pyramid. Then deal the rest of the cards to whoever’s playing. If any cards are left over, it’s okay. But make sure each player has the same number of cards.
The suits of the cards don’t matter; you’re only paying attention to the numbers or face of the cards. No one shows each other their cards. Anyone caught peeking gets a smack (optional).
Start by turning over the first card on the row of 5 cards. Let’s say it’s an “8”. Then, go around the table player by player. If anyone has an “8”, they can assign one drink to another player. If one person has 3 "8"s, then they have to assign all three (to 1 person or 2 or 3 different people). Go through the row of five cards this way. Then proceed to the next row of cards up. This row of cards is worth 2 drinks. The cards on the next row up are worth 3 drinks. Players with cards matching the card that’s been turned over assign the drinks to one or more people. The top card is worth 5 drinks.
(This game is extra fun with vengeful and/or emotionally sensitive people who don’t like to be ganged up on.)
So once all the cards are turned over, part 1 is finished. The poor bastard with the most cards left in his hand after all drinks have been assigned is the LOSER.
Part 2 of Drunk Driver:
The LOSER has 5 cards dealt to him face down, or however many cards were dealt to each player in Part 1. He turns them over one by one so everyone can see. We’re looking for face cards. If he flips over a Jack, that’s one drink (for him only) and another card dealt to him face down. If it’s a Queen that he turns over, that’s two more cards and two more drinks. A King is worth three cards/drinks, and an Ace is four cards/drinks. Bystanders should mock and carry on.
Now I’m absolutely parched. Who’s coming over?

Just thought of another…
Eliminator
You’ll need a deck of cards and this is best played sitting around a table.
One person begins as dealer. They call out a suit and deal cards face up until they get a card with the suit they called. The dealer picks a person who has to drink while the dealer counts to the number of the card showing. For example iif you deal an eight the victim has to drink while the dealer counts aloud to eight. Face cards are tens and aces are fifteens.
The fun is in how you count…my personal favorite is to count by fractions. One,one and a quarter,one and a half,etc.
When the drinker is finished they become the dealer.
WARNING>>>only play this game with beer! We played it with Absolut one night and it was ugly…people passing out in their stomach contents,etc
If you need games to make drinking fun, you aren’t doing it right.
After four years of college, here is a myriad of ones I have played. Though, personally I don’t really need a game to drink heavily. That’s why I have a girlfriend.
King’s Pot:
Take all the 9s,10s,Js,Qs,Ks and Aces and shuffle them (you won’t be needing the other cards). Take a large empty cup and place it in the center of the table. Lay the shuffled cards around this empty cup. One by one, everyone draws a card. The breakdown of cards:
9:The drawer tells a story. Everyone else decides if he/she is telling the truth. Whoever is wrong takes a drink.
10:The player next (clockwise) in line takes a drink
J: The player behind the drawer takes a drink
Q: The drawer picks a topic and everyone goes around saying one item of the category (e.g. Car Brands: Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc)
K: Drawer pours their drink into the cup in the center of the table until the cup is a quarter more full.
A: Some says a sentence and everyone goes around and tries to say a sentence that ryhmes with it.
The player that draws the 4th King fills the cup up the remaining 25% and drinks the concoction. Yum.
(Fun: C+)
Asshole/Bullshit (The world’s most popular drinking game)
Two decks of cards. Shuffle the decks together. Deal out all the cards. Player 1 takes h/h lowest card and plays it in the middle upside-down and says, ‘One whatever-card-he-played’ (‘One three’ for example). The next player then has to play a card higher than the previous card. Once the cards reach the ace, then double cards are used. If Player 3 plays an Ace, then Player 4 has to play a double of some sort (two threes, for example). If a Player doesn’t have a card that can go higher, h/s can play some other card and lie and say h/s is playing something else. If someone calls h/h on the lie, then h/s flips over the card(s) h/s played and if h/s was lying, h/s inherits all the cards played. If h/s was telling the truth, then the player calling the bullshit gets the pile. The first player to go out is the ‘President’. The next to go out is the ‘VP’, followed by the ‘Secretary’ (insert more positions here, if need-be [god-damn, the secretary of agriculture position]) and finally by the asshole. During the game, the President can tell anyone to drink at any time. The VP can do the same to any player other than the President. Etc, etc. The Asshole is the card dealer and can make anyone h/s sees fit drink while the shuffling/dealing is taking place.
(Grade: B+)
Sadly, all the games that are fun are extremely complicated. In some areas Bullshit and Asshole are two seperate games, but in Wisconsin, people will do anything to get the booze their body craves.
What a bunch of amatures! Or: how i spent my college years…
Damnit, quiet, you took my two favorites. Asshole, specifically, is the best drinking game in the known universe. However, our version is totally different from your Bullshit Asshole game:
Presidents and Assholes:
Deal all the cards out. Two’s are “clears”, all other cards are seperated into singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples. The first person (usually the president from the preceding round) plays his lowest single – say a single three. The next person must play a single three or higher. Doubles are always higher than singles – e.g., you can play double fours on a single king – triples are always higher than doubles, etc. If you can’t play something of equal or higher value, you can either play a two, which clears the cards and starts back over at single three; or you can pass. The president is the first one out of cards. The asshole is the last and must deal the next round.
Now, the drinking: you drink when you pass; if the same card(s) are played by consecutive players – say player one plays a six and player two plays a six on top of it, or player one plays double sixes and player two plays double sixes as well – the next player is skipped and must drink; three cards the same value on top of each other causes a “social” where everyone clinks glasses and takes a drink; four of the same card causes a “waterfall” where everyone starts drinking together and you stop drinking starting with the player of the fourth card, then the president, vice, …, asshole (you can see that if doubles are played on doubles of the same value the next person will be skipped, there will be a social, and also a waterfall); while the asshole is dealing he can tell anyone to drink; anyone may assign drinks to those of lower rank at any time; finally, after each round the president gets to make a rule that remains in effect for all following rounds. These rules usually involve drinking as well.
Enjoy.

Some other quality drinking games:
Power Hour (or, for the brave, Century Club):
Everyone gets a shot glass. Fill with beer. Now take a shot every minute for the next sixty minutes (100 for Century Club). Everyone conscious at the end wins.
Speed Quarters:
Three glasses. One in the middle filled with beer, two circulating to bounce the quarters into. Give the two circulating glasses to individuals on opposite sides of the table. They both begin trying to bounce quarters into their glass. Once they do, they pass their glass to the left and the next person starts bouncing. When the two glasses wind up in front of the same person, that person must drink the middle glass. Oh, and if anyone bounces a quarter into the middle glass, they must drink it.
Jerry’s Kids:
Teams of two. One team has six shot glasses filled with beer, the next team has two dice. Each teammate rolls a die while the other pair drink their three shots each. If the dice team gets doubles before the shots are gone, another round of six shots for the shot team. If the shot team finishes before doubles are rolled, six shots for the dice team. Play continues around the table.
Zoom, Schwartz, Profigliano:
No equipment, just a circle of people. One person looks at someone else and says “zoom.” The zoomed person can zoom another person by looking at them and saying zoom. Or he can look at someone (not the person that zoomed him) and say “schwartz,” which sends it back to the one that zoomed him. Or, he can look at someone (not the person to his right) and say “profigliano,” which sends it to the person to his right. Person that fucks up drinks. Go again.
Mr. Bush (or, Mr. Busch):
Create a numbered list of rules, or get one off the Internet. As many rules as you like: the more and crazier the merrier. Each person rolls a single die and adds the value to his running score. He then performs the like numbered rule. Play continues around the table until someone runs off the end of the list. Here is a sample list of rules: http://falcon.jmu.edu/~hollarab/buschrules.html
Drug Dealer:
Get as many cards as there are players. One should be a jack, one a king, the others should be fairly low cards (you’ll see why momentarily). Deal the cards out. Whoever receives the jack is the drug dealer. He must surreptitiously wink at or otherwise signal another player. This is the drug deal. Fake signals from players who aren’t the drug dealer are strictly forbidden. Once a player has been signaled, he flips over his card and says, “The deal has been made.” Whoever has the king is the police officer. He flips over his card and tries to determine who the drug dealer is. When he guesses someone, that person flips his card and – if not the drug dealer – the police officer has to drink that many drinks. When he guesses the drug dealer, all remaining cards are flipped and the drug dealer has to drink the remaining total (see, I told you you wanted low cards). If the drug dealer signals the cop, he is obviously up the creek and must drink all of the drinks.
That’s all for now. Have fun.

NO wonder I never have any fun.
I used to play the drink too much do something I wouldn’t if I was sober and be so miserable the next day I don’t want to live game. That’s why I rarely drink any more.
damn, bry! how’d you do so well in school if you know and participated in all those games!
I personally love the game CUPS. I learned it from a bunch of Iowa boys in a barn!
Divide into two teams. Stand across from another person from the other team along a picnic table or some long table. Make sure your PLASTIC cup of beer contains the same amount as the person’s across from you. The game starts when the “moderator” at the head of the table (they don’t play) asks a question of the initial two players. They answer the question and slam the beer. THEN, you have to put the cup upside down on the edge of the table and flip it over so it is right side up. (You can also vary this by having it right side up and flipping it upside down…whichever is easiest) As soon as your cup is right side up, then the next person on your team slams their beer…etc until the last person finishes. An AWESOME game.
I like it the best.
This one might be kind of lame, but it doesn’t require any props.
My students taught me the Yamanote game (named for the train line that loops around Tokyo). One player picks a subject (Canadian beers, basball teams, Nobel laureates, etc.), then names something that fits that subject (Molson, Yankees, Pauly Shore, etc.). The next person at the table must name something else fitting the subject, and so on around and around the table until somebody either can’t think of anything or repeats what someone else said. This person must now take a drink.
This is usually done with everyone clapping in rhythm, which adds a time element to the challenge; if you can’t give an answer right on your beat, you lose.
Warning: with everyone clapping and shouting, this game gets pretty loud after a few rounds.
–sublight.
There is also the famous Glasgow drinking game, where those involved sit in a circle. One person goes into the middle of the circle and drinks a bottle of whisky in one go.
Then he has to guess who he is…
