Thirsty Thursday Drinking Games of the Week: Baseball and Hockey
Hey sports fans! Here are a couple of games to play. The rules, of course, are a little different than the sports you're used to and they involve beer. Enjoy!
Name: Baseball
Requirements: 4 shot glasses, beer, a quarter, and two teams of people
Rules:
Set up the four shot glasses in a row going away from home base (the
designated shooting spot for the quarter). Each player on the visiting
team takes turns shooting the quarter at the shot glasses. The first
glass represents a single, the second a double, the third a triple, and
the last a home run. Three strikes (misses of all shot glasses) and
you are out. Three outs and the other team is up to bat.
Game follows as regular baseball and runs are scored in the
same way (except that you have to keep track of the runners on base
in your head). Drinking happens in the following manner:
- Fill the shot glasses with beer.
- If a player makes the quarter into a shot glass (gets a hit), he
must drink the contents of the shot glasses behind the one he made.
For example, if he hits a single, he must drink the remaining three
shot glasses full of beer. If he hits a triple, he only has to
drink one. If he gets an out, he must drink all four.
- The opposite team must drink for each run the other team scores.
This game is pretty simple but lots of fun (and lots of drinks)!
Name: Hockey
Requirements:All you need is 4 people, a deck of cards, and
plenty of beer.
Rules:
First, the players divide into teams of 2. Partners
sit across the table from each other. The cards are
all dealt out. The point of the game is to score the
most points. You score a point every time you lay the
card of the same value as the person before you laid.
To make things more interesting, there are "safe cards":
Eights and Jacks. You cannot lay a safe card on another
safe card (i.e. no 8 on 8, J on J, 8 on J, J on 8).
The team that was scored upon drinks until told to stop
by a member of the scoring team (this explains the
variation in the buzz factor). After each point, the
cards are cleared by the scoring team (be sure to keep
track of each point for scoring purposes). After all the
cards have been laid, that's the end of a period.
As in the actual game of hockey, there are 3 periods.
The person to the left of period 1's dealer becomes the
new dealer, and the same rules apply.
Keep score like this:
End of period 1:
Team 1 scored 5 points - Team 2 scored 12 points
Team 2 leads 7-0 after 1 period
End of period 2:
Team 1 scored 7 points - Team 2 scored 8 points
Team 2 now leads 8-0 after 2 periods (7+(8-7))
End of period 3:
Team 1 scored 15 points - Team 2 scored 3 points
Team 1 wins, 4-0 (15-3=12; 12-8=4)
