5 Drinking Games You’ve Never Played

Everybody loves a good drinking game, and there’s no time like summer to expand your drinking game horizons. Yeah, we love beer pong. Sure, we’ll dominate at flip cup. But maybe it’s time we branched away from King’s Cup and tried something new? We went on a mission to find a couple games we haven’t played yet. Hopefully this doesn’t mean that we are old ladies with super dated drinking habits! Check out the games below:

Why Do We Turn Everything Into A Drinking Game?

I decided to go home for Easter weekend because most of my friends at school were dipping out to spend time with their families so I knew it would be a ghost town. My family doesn’t really celebrate Easter, but some of my friends from other schools mentioned they would be home as well. It’s always nice to see old friends. Well I got a text from one that said, “I want to do an adult Easter egg hunt. Somehow also made into a drinking game,” to which I replied, “Jello shots in plastic Easter eggs that we have to find!”

This isn’t the first time I’ve run into a let’s turn a holiday into a drinking game situation. We seem to create drinking games out of everything we can. I once played a Secret Life of the American Teenager drinking game, which didn’t end well for anyone. I love having a good time, and as a senior I seem to have reverted back to my freshman year habits of going out all.the.time and still making it to class. I’m having a lot of fun now because I know it won’t last when I have a real job and am too old to stay up past midnight. Read More »


Get Ready…The State of the Union Drinking Game

Going to college in DC, it seems like everyone knows everything about politics. I’ve never seen so many people know so much about the American (and international, for that matter) political system. Tomorrow night, January 24, Obama will be presenting this year’s State of the Union. This is extremely exciting because, besides the fact that I live in DC, I’m in one of the largest, rowdiest, most belligerent freshman dorms in the country. Now, combine DC’s major political events and my dorm and you have The State of the Union Drinking Game!

Listen, I know most college-aged girls know more about celebrity gossip than politics but hopefully this game will get you all a little more interested in The State of the Union. Here it goes: Read More »

5 Kinds of Beer Pong Players

You’ve got cups, balls and beer. All you need are some people to get the pong party started. Upon arrival, you eye the competition. Here’s a breakdown of five different players you can expect:

“The Princess”

Relax and rejoice if a Princess appears in your lineup. This lady lacks game knowledge and proper pong skills. She sips her beer, begs for re-dos, and bursts out laughing—nonstop. A Pong Princess’ scandalous attire flaunts her assets, which she uses as a distraction mechanism during matches. Should she make a cup, prepare yourself for a high-pitched squeal and slutty victory dance.

“The Pro”

Beware of The Pro when it comes to beer pong. These players suck the joy from the fun-spirited sport. Their by-the-book play sobers your pregame—not OK. The resolution: Drink every time The Pro throws a rule-abiding bitch fit. You’ll down your beer quicker, and be ready to hit the bars sooner. There is only one way to permanently shutdown a Pro: strip them of their title. Trust me, nothing feels better. Read More »


The Worst Drinking Ideas Ever: How Seemingly Awesome Ideas Turn Into Sloppy Hook Ups, the Fresh 15, and Beyond

People tend to make a lot of poor choices after consuming alcohol. And that’s before you factor in delicious drinks and fun games that aim to sneak alcohol into your system that much faster. By eliminating the following things, your college experience might have fewer headaches and exponentially improved rate of good decision-making.

Icing: This trend got so out of hand last summer that I heard countless stories of bosses icing their interns and entire bars running out of Smirnoff Ice. This so-called girly drink can get aggressive when your roommate ices you after a long night of drinking (bad) or when you’re hungover the next morning (worse).

Vodka Whipped Cream: Whipped Lightening has created the first alcohol-infused whipped cream weighing in at 36.5 proof….as if we needed another easy and delicious way to consume alcohol. Oh, and the nutritional values are miraculously missing, no calories listed so they don’t count, right?

Liquor Pong: You’re just asking for problems. Read More »


Weekly Wrap-Up: At Home for Halloweekend

Halloweekend 2010 is finally here, and after a week of warming up between all-nighter study sessions for midterms and all-nighter sexy time, the costumed craziness continues through to Monday morning’s walk of shame.

But in case you haven’t thrown together a simple outfit yet, or if you simply don’t feel like spending all of next week detagging and/or Photoshopping drunken photos, here are a few CC-approved options to still keep your weekend productive:

Brush up on your 2010 World Series speak. It’s the perfect conversation topic post-Halloweekend (and we don’t just mean with frat boys).

(Try to) plan your perfect class schedule. Just like every other semester, it’s worth a try.

Do something for yourself to cheer you up amidst midterm mania (and these tips are still as effective post-grad!)

Stream “It Gets Better” videos on YouTube. Warning: the onscreen inspiration is addicting!

Stir up enough courage and finally submit that Morning After story. Whether centered around your big boobs or the smaller body parts of others, we’ll take it – anonymously, of course!

Win a free beer pong table! With a steady hand and your incognito camera-phone abilities, it’ll be easy to turn a few annoying costumed college kids in October into your next drinking game in November.

Happy Halloween!


How to Build The Ultimate Dorm-Friendly Beer Pong Table

The following is a guest post by Shep, one of our (nerdy yet totally helpful) friends at Hack College. Check ‘em out for all your techy needs. They’re like the nerdy boyfriend you never had but always needed.

Dorm rooms have always been a great place to learn games like King’s Cup and Caps, but what if I told you that you could squeeze beer pong–the Holy Grail, Superbowl, and Mt. Everest of all drinking games–into your all-too-tiny room?

Beer pong?  In a dorm room?  ”Preposterous,” you say.  How in the hell you can cram such a space-consuming game into your horse stall of a room?  Before we go on, I should point out that this is probably not a very good idea, and you stand a good chance of getting busted by your RA. But dammit, if you take your beer pong seriously and want to throw caution and ping pong balls to the wind, then by all means, read on.

Alright, the first thing you need to do is give up on the notion that you’re going to fit a regulation-sized beer pong table in a dorm room.  You’re not.  Even if you could cram a giant table or slab of wood in your room, you’d just be asking to get busted.  With that in mind, you’ll need to design your table with both size and sound suppression in mind.

Liq-Or-Treat: Halloween Drinking Games

We might be too old to go door-to-door and ask strangers for candy… but we’re not too old to dress up as slutty versions of our favorite childhood fairy tales characters, animals, or public service workers, are we? Besides, if we’re struggling to pay $49.99 for a “Sexy Bull Fighter” costume, dammit, we want to get the most bang for our buck!

Here are a few games and party options that you can host throughout Halloween week, just to get into the spirit of things!

Liquor Treat
This game can be the most fun, but is also the most difficult to pull off, especially if you live in a dorm with a strict RA or a No-Alcohol Policy. Similar to an “Around-the-World” party, you have to rally everyone on your floor/in your apartment building to participate. The members of each room or apartment choose a theme…and a type of liquor. When guests arrive, they go door to door and can stay to mingle in any room they like. When they ring the doorbell, they are also rewarded with a shot– hence, this is the grown-up’s version of Trick or Treat. Read More »


Beer Pong Gets Serious

Remember those days when you spent your evenings in grimy basements accentuating your cleavage
to throw off your beer pong opponent’s game? Oh, that was last night? Awesome. While it seemed like a total waste of time or just a more exciting way to get really, really drunk, it turns out all that dedication might pay off.

Presenting: The World Beer Pong Tour, a real tournament with a real prize.
As in $25,000!!!

Do you have any idea how many Keystones that can get you? (No, really, do you? I’m too drunk to figure it out…)

Yes, I know. I didn’t even think this “tour” existed either. But it does and two very lucky and very skilled Sacramento boys just took home the loot. Read More »
