Warning: Do Not Mix With Alcohol

Sometimes people get to the point where just drinking a drink isn’t enough. We all get into that rut and pull out the deck of cards or the stack of red cups. We get bored with the monotony and impatient for a good buzz. As the night goes on we begin to wonder if it would be more fun to perhaps shoot the alcohol into our mouths with a pistol, or tackle each other as we chug a frosty one. Or maybe mixing a little fire into the equation could be a good time?No.

These are bad ideas; each and every one of them. Drinking may be a huge part of the college experience but, there are just some things that shouldn’t be mixed with booze.

At Home Breathalyzer. This may seem like a good idea on the surface, but I’m here to warn you it’s not. Let’s think about the nature of college kids for a minute…. In a nutshell we are all competitive, fun-loving, idiots. Take those competitive, fun-loving idiots and add some alcohol and a Breathalyzer and you will have yourself a whole new drinking game called “Who can blow the highest BAC without dying.” I kid not.

Vodka Pong. If I ever have children they will turn 21 with the knowledge that you do not mess with hard liquor when playing drinking games. Who ever looked at a beer pong table and then looked at a bottle of Absolut and thought “hmm, that could be fun…” should not be allowed to drink ever again. One of three things will inevitably happens when these two forces of nature are combined: you will either 1) Lose the game (because there are no winners in Vodka Pong, 2) End up in the hospital, or 3) Wake up the next morning with sharpie on your face. None are fun endings.

Alcohol Shot Gun. I admit this looks incredibly fun, but for some inexplicable reason I fear for my eyes. I just have this knawing feeling that maybe your aim isn’t so good after being shot in the mouth with tequila a few dozen times. I also feel like the burning sensation of alcohol being shot into your cornea doesn’t feel so good. But that’s just my concern.

Drinkathlon. Like a decathlon but with drinking…  Get it? See above for reasons why college kids shouldn’t be trusted to mix sports and booze. Thats right hockey puck, I’m looking at you.

The Wine Rack. This isn’t dangerous per-say, but it did raise a lot of questions for me. What happens when you drink all the alcohol from your bra: does your rockin’ cleavage disappear? And what if this punctures and all that precious alcohol seeps into your brand new Forever 21 top? And, since it’s a sports bra, should I start drinking on the treadmill?

Flaming shots. Every time I see that video, I cringe and have to look away. No one should be trusted with alcohol and fire. No one.

Fire extinguishers.

    I've played liquor pong and flip cup back in the days where I refused to drink beer…my girls and I used to win the tourneys all the time too…and we lived to tell the tales….I even remember the nights….though, I'm sure if I tried that now, I'd be paying for it for DAYS afterwards…

    This past Memorial Day weekend my boyfriend and I brought a giant Super Soaker filled with Jack and Coke out to a boat party by an island…and I assure you, no one was blinded….however, we DID make it a point to do those early on in the day…well before anyone was too hammered to properly use the Super Soaker…

    I've always wondered about the wine rack though…I'd just have to hope that everyone around you would be drinking as well and that their beer goggles would be 100% in effect by the time you polished off the rack and thus no one would notice the fact that you're chest just shrunk 2 cup sizes! ;)

    I was at my friends house with a bunch of people drinking flaming FIRE101 shots, of course we all got to joking around and talking, and I go to take my shot after its been in my hand for 2 minutes and the rim is hot, and so is my face because i forgot to blowwwww itt outtt. So i proceded to spit the flaming liquid all over the chest of the kid in front of me, and burnt all the peach fuzz off my upper lip. Awesome.

    In England drinking games come as standard before any night out. Ring of fire is very popular with University Students and is done with Tequila, Vodka or Sambucca. (Sorry it’s copied I didn’t have time to write all the rules)

    The game begins with a deck of cards face down in a ring formation.

    Clockwise around the ring each player takes it in turn to flip a card face up and places in the middle of the ring.

    All cards 2-Ace represent a different game so it’s really 13 games in 1.

    When a player turns a…..

    2- MAKE A RULE (this rule is carried out until the end of the game)

    3- PROPOSE A TOAST (the card turner proposes a toast to whatever he/she like but all players must consume some drink after the toast as a sign of respect)

    4- 4 FINGERS (whoever turns the card has the power to deligate upto 4 fingers of drink to ANY player. They may give them all to one player or divide them up to a maximum of 4 players)

    5- KING OF THE RING (the king of the ring has the power to make anyone drink whatever he/she likes whenever he/she wants until a new king is elected)

    6- LADIES DRINK (all female players consume 2 fingers of drink)

    7- CATEGORIES (the card turner selects a category e.g brands of clothing, golfers names, London football clubs etc and one at a time players give an answer until either someone can’t think of one or their answer isn’t correct. They then consume minimum fine of 2 fingers)

    8- GENTS DRINK (all male players consume 2 fingers of drink)

    9- BUSTA RHYME (the card turner says a word and players must give a word that rhymes with the original e.g lick, sick, prick, kick etc until either someone can’t think of one or their answer isn’t correct. They then consume minimum fine of 2 fingers)

    10- SNAP (the last person to put their hand on top of the upturned 10 card must drink the minimum fine of 2 fingers)

    Jack- THUMBMASTER (thumbmaster can place his thumb on the edge of the table whenever they like and the last person to do so consumes minimum fine of 2 fingers)

    Queen- QUESTIONMASTER (questionmaster can ask people questions whenever they like and if any other player answers a question they must consume minimum fine of 2 fingers)

    King- EYEMASTER (the eyemaster tries to catch the eye of any other player. A player caught looking directly into the eye of the eyemaster must consume a minimum fine of 2 fingers

    Ace- 21s (a game of 21s proceeds starting with the card turner)

    After a player turns a card the next person in the ring takes their turn.

    The ‘power cards’ (5, Jack, Queen, King) remain with the player who turned them until the next time the card is turned. So a player who turns a Queen will be questionmaster until the next time a Queen is turned.

    If at any point during the ring (the game) a disagreement occurs between players (e.g is a word legible in BUSTA RHYME or who was the last person to put their thumb down during THUMBMASTER, a ‘Council’ will decide the outcome. Anyone can call Council at any time and a majority vote (shown by placing a clenched fist in the middle of the table) is final. All players at the table are involved in the council.

    The standard minimum drinking fine is 2 fingers but can be adapted to the drink involved e.g a fine of 4 fingers for lager may be adapted to only 2 fingers for wine.

    Enjoy! x
