That's for woosies. I can drink a glass in just 1

how about you guys? got any good drinking games?

My favorite is "mexen" (don't know the English name for it) It's a great drinking game, the rules are maybe a bit hard at first but they're worth learning them!

Everyone starts with 6 points (or pints if you're really thirsty), the first one who runs out has to buy everyone a set number of beers.

You take two dices and roll them under a glass or something so that you cant see what's underneath. The one who threw them now peeks underneath it and remembers the number. Score is as follows:
- highest number is multiplied by 10 and added to the lowest number (so a 5 and a 3 makes 53, a 2 and a 4 makes 42 etc.)
- two equal numbers are that number multiplied by 100 (so two 3s makes 300, two sixes 600 etc.)
- a 2 and a 1 is the highest score, called a "mex".

The player remembers what he has thrown, puts the glass back on top of the dices and passes it on to the next player. He now has a to say what the number he's thrown is, he can either speak the truth or lie. The trick is that whatever he says, it has to be a higher number than the guy before him threw.
The next guy now has a few options. He can believe what is said, in which case he either has to throw a new number (higher than what was said) or he can pass it on to the next guy (only one turn, the next guy can't pass it on to the next next guy) (seen as cowardly).
If he doesn't believe what is said, he can lift the glass. If the number is lower than what was said, the guy who threw it loses a point. If it's higher or equal, the guy who lifted the glass loses a point.

EXAMPLE:
guy 1 throws 41. He speaks the truth.
guy 2 believes him and throws 100. He speaks the truth about it.
guy 3 believes it and throws 53. Since he has to throw higher than the guy before him, he has to lie and says 200.
guy 4 doesn't believe it and lifts the glass. 53 is lower than 200, so guy 3 loses a point (and can throw again)
guy 3 throws a 51, but since he's the first one throwing that round he can speak the truth about it.
guy 4 throws a 31, he lies and says it's a 63.
guy 5 believes it and throws a 100.
etc. etc.

If someone claims he's thrown a mex (so that's 21), whoever loses that round loses two points.

Best played with 4-8 people.



Another great game is "Kingsen", but I haven't got time ATM to explain the rules.
I will however tell you about "Zap de Neger" ("Zap the Nig***"). You can do this when there's a TV around. Take the remote and zap to the next channel. If there's a black guy on screen within the first few seconds, drink. Pass the remote on to the next player, who does the exact same thing.
