Beer Game: Brain Damage

A fantastic game. Undoubtedly when you first explain this game, people give blank stares and are confused, but after a quick round, everyone usually gets the hang of things. You’ll need a deck of cards with all 8’s, 9’s and the red 10’s removed, people, and the ever-important beer. The buzz factor starts out low, but with lots of people, dealing last can be dangerous at best.

The ranks of the cards are:

Face cards: .5 points
Aces 1.0 point
2-7 face value
10’s wild

The game is played just like BlackJack but to 7.5 points.

First, lay out all cards face down; everyone “cuts for deal”. Highest card deals first (10 would be 7.5, 7 is very good). Deal will go from highest draw to lowest. Very important: you cannot leave the game until after you have dealt. That’s why dealing first is great, dealing last has been known to result in “Brain Damage.”

Dealer takes deck, deals one card face down to first player, one card face down to self. Player looks at card, then bets any amount of beer, a large shot glass is usually a good limit.

Player keeps first card face down, and can take as many hits as he wants. If he goes over 7.5, he must announce that fact, and then drink the bet. If not, when he stops, dealer turns over his card, and then hits until he thinks he has the player beat. If dealer busts, he drinks the bet.

When the dealer is satisfied with his hand, the player turns over his card. Lower total drinks. Ties mean player drinks. The dealer then goes to the next player, repeating the process until the deck is exhausted.

If the player gets a “five card charlie” (5 cards, not busted), he wins immediately, dealer cannot draw, dealer loses even with a 10 in hand. If player draws to 7.5, dealer can of course try to tie (win).

If the dealer begins dealing with six or less cards, the penalty is to deal again. With six or less cards, dealer lays them face down, the player bets, they both draw a card, loser drinks (tie == player drinks). Play continues until everyone has dealt.

Drink of the week:Halley’s Comet

Ingredients for a Halley’s Comet

• Vodka
• Cointreau
• Strawberry Liqueur
• White Cranberry Juice
• Lemon Juice

Quantities for one drink:

• 1.01 oz Vodka
• 0.51 oz Cointreau
• 1.01 oz Strawberry Liqueur
• 1.01 oz White Cranberry Juice
• 15 oz Lemon Juice

Blending Instructions:

• Pour all ingredients over ice in a shaker

Serving Glass

Cocktail Glass

Also known as a martini glass. The shape of the glass helps keep ingredients from separating, and the stem allows the drink to stay cool while holding.
Size: 4 to 6 ounces

Drinking games: Signage

Requires

lots of beer atleast 5 crazy friends

Gameplay

Each player picks a sign.(ie grab your lip, grab your ear, when you get good at this game you get creative by pretending to wack off ….).The first player begins by doing his/her sign then any of the other players.That player then does his/her sign then anothers.This game goings on till someone fuck’s up.When they do they must drink then they start over.The key to this game is speed.(Example of a game:Brenda sticks her tongue out then does Tacha’s sing which is cuffing her chin.Tacha in turn cuffs her chin then does Keltie’s sign, grabs her lip…..on and on till someone drinks).

Advanced

You may not deek ( go for ear then go for lip) If your not paying attention and miss someone doing your sign then that is a mess up You may not go to washroom till your drink is gone If you do a sign that does not exist, drink You’ll catch the drift….
