Drinking Games: Beer 99

An interesting card game involving that “new” math. Mid level buzz factor. Supplies: people, beer, and a deck of cards.

The object of the game is to play cards into a pile and have the value of the pile equal 99. You start off by dealing four cards to each player, then turn the top card over. Play goes around the circle with each person playing a card, mentally keeping track of total value of the pile.

Special cards:

King
Kept to avoid drinking or place drinking responsibilities on Someone else, usually used near end of game.
Four
used as a skip card when you have none to play, can also be used to skip drinking responsibilities goes.
Tens
When in the 90’s, this drops the value of pile by 10, otherwise its a regular card.

Socials occur whenever the total equals a number ending in 9. Special socials on 69 and 71. On special you must drink twice.

Whoever gets hit with 99 must drink 1/2 glass.

After you play a card, draw another from the stack. When out of cards, reshuffle those already played.

Drink of the week:Chocolate Rum

The blog has just hit 1,000 views! Thanks everyone for stopping by.

Chocolate Rum

  • 1 tsp 151-proof Rum
  • 1 oz Light Rum
  • 1/2 oz Brown Creme de Cacao
  • 1/2 oz White Creme de Menthe
  • 1 tbsp Light Cream
  • Ice
  • Chocolate Syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a glass half filled with ice cubes. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top.

Drinking Game: Dice

All you need is beer, people, liquor, and dice.

Roll two dice. Anything that adds up to six (i.e., 2-4, 5-1) or has a six in it (i.e., 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5), you drink a “good” gulp of beer. Any time you roll double 2’s, 4’s, or 5’s you drink that many (2, 4, or 5) “good” gulps of beer (you can modify this to just one “gulp” on doubles). If you roll double 3’s you are penalized twice, for getting doubles and adding up to six. Thus four “good” gulps (or 2 if you play the modified rules). The killer is double 1’s or double 6’s. For this you do a SHOT of your favorite poison (i.e. JD, Southern Comfort, tequilla, etc). Lastly, you continue rolling until you get something that you don’t drink on (i.e., 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-5, 3-4, 3-5, 4-5). If you roll the dice off the table, you are also rewarded with a gulp of beer.

Mixed drinks:New Year’s Resolution

2 oz Cinnamon Schnapps
10 oz Red Champagne

Best thing is to put the schnapps in a shot and dump it in a glass containing champagne. This was discovered accidentally, but became a party favorite instantly.

Beer Pong!!!

This is my favorite drinking game of all time!

The materials you need for this game are some cups of beer, a ping pong ball, and a table. The game is best played with either two people or two teams of two.

Arrange the cups of beer on either side of the table like you are setting up bowling pins. You should have at least six cups on both sides. Each team takes a turn by trying to get the ping pong ball into the other team’s cups. If they succeed the other teams must drink that cup. The cup is then removed and the rest of the cups are rearranged so that they are close to each other. Each team alternates turns like this.

When all the cups on one side have been cleared the team that cleared them wins and the other teams must finish any cups remaining on the winning team’s side.

Happy New Year!
