One of the most classic drinking games out there, beer pong involves tossing ping pong balls into cups filled with beer (or your beverage of choice). The goal is to get the ball into as many cups as possible. When a ball lands in a cup, the other team has to drink the contents of that cup. The team that clears all of their cups first wins.
To add some extra fun to the game, try using different types of cups (such as solo cups or red cups) or playing with multiple balls at a time. You’ll need a ping pong ball and at least 10 cups to play this game.
In this fast-paced game, teams race to finish a series of “flips” in order to win. Each team has a row of cups filled with a certain amount of beer (or other beverage). The first player on the team starts by chugging their cup and then trying to flip it over onto its base using only their hand. Once they’ve successfully flipped the cup, the next player can go. The first team to finish all of their flips wins.
To add some extra challenge to the game, try playing with teams of different sizes or incorporating additional physical challenges (such as having to do a handstand before flipping the cup). All you’ll need for this game is a few cups and a table.
This simple but entertaining game is perfect for getting to know your friends (and possibly embarrassing them in the process).
