Best Drinking Games that You Don't Know

When looking at lists of drinking games, there always seems to be the same ones. You will see beer pong, flippy cup, and some name variation of "Circle of Death" almost every time. Well, here are some games for people who are looking for something new to change their nightly routine.

1. Four Corners

This game is going to make beer pong seem like the slowest game ever. The setup is one cup in each corner filled with one beer each. You have to think of the cup as if it is split into four portions and you want to get your opponents down to zero. Each team hast two partners and there are two ping pong balls just like beer pong. Players then begin play by shooting at either cup they want to across from them. If the ball hits the top rim of the cup and hits the ground after without hitting the table first or the other team catching it, then you must drink one portion of the cup. If the ball lands in the cup then it is two portions. One other rule is that a player may never hold both balls at the same time or else it is one drink. Other than this, there aren't many more rules. There is no order for shooting (it's basically a free-for-all). You can ever run to the other side of the table to grab the balls. They are only safe if they are in your water cup. You can not shoot until you drink the beer you have to and once you have none left you are out. The goal is get both opponents out. Have fun and don't get hurt!

2. War

This game is very similar to four corners, but it lets more people get involved at one time. It is usually 3 or 4 people per team. Each team member lines up across an opposing team member, and they each have their cups set up in a diamond in front of them with a beer split between all four. After this, it's just a shooting frenzy trying to get all the other team's cups out before they get yours out. There are no rules about the rim of the cup or multiple balls at once like four corners. This is a great team game that's very fun to play for a long time.

3. Beer Ball

This is another fast-moving game that's a little more difficult to get good at (especially after a few games). The setup is two beer cans lined up side by side in the middle of the table right in front of your team. You and your partner take turns trying to throw the ping pong ball so that it hits one of the opposing beer cans. If you hit the beer can, then your partner must start chugging his beer while the other team is getting the ball. As soon as the other team gets the ball and puts (not throws) it on the table, your partner must stop. Alternate turns with the opposing team. The first team to finish both their beers wins.
