Five Drinking Games The Daily Mail Would Hate
A little ripple of tabloid trouble stirred up late last week when esteemed moral and social guardians of our unspoilt nation, The Daily Mail, uncovered that stag dos all over the nation have been drinking vodka. No surprise there, but the rub here is that some are popping the shots in their own eye sockets. According to the Mail it seems pouring vodka into your eye sockets can prove dangerous. Who’d have thought it! To share in the moral outrage of the Mail we thought we’d find some more drinking games for it to hate – (but before you watch these please read our very serious warning about death at the foot of the page.)
Beer Pong
Anyone who’s ever been to an American frat party, which is none of us here at Staggered, will be familiar with the game of beer pong. It’s a uniquely American phenomenon, because of all those little red cups. The dangers? Excessive alcohol. Oh, and you could swallow a ping pong ball resulting in your mate trying to drunkenly Heimlich maneuver you.
Beer Scrabble
The thinking man’s drinking game. During the game, add up everybody’s points. The players with the least points must take a sip of beer for each point difference between themselves and the person with the most points. I’d say the main danger here is a fight breaking out between friends over whether ‘Hertonogomy’ is a real word or otherwise. We’ve included a sedate sample above. Actually, this is mainly just two people playing Scrabble who happen to be drinking… wait, why is this online?
Blackout
Blackout wears its intentions on it’s sleeve – those being, to get massively rat arsed. The art of the game, (also, unsurprisingly, to get massively rat arsed), is demonstrated perfectly in game show form on the link below. The danger here is getting massively rat arsed.
Centurion
This infamous game involves a shot of beer every minute for an hour. This is unlikely to kill those of a standard bladder, but you will come out with some right twaddle. It’s harder than it sounds though, and remember, it’s a shot of beer. Not a shot of vodka.
The Ancient Chinese Drinking Game – Jiuling
An interesting twist on the drinking game – jiuling is an ancient Chinese drinking game and we all know that the words “ancient Chinese” added to anything instantly makes it cool and right. Here’s some instructions on how to play or just try and follow the instructions in the video above. It’s something to do with maths.
READ THIS AND DON’T DIE.
We all know that people on their stag-dos drink. A lot. And that’s all well and good and certainly can be a huge amount of fun (although you might want to read this stag-do survival guide before you go), but on the other hand there’s death. Not jokey, feeling-like-death death, but actual, real tangible dead-from-alcohol death. So before we showcase some of the world’s most drinking games we thought we’d answer this essential question first:
How much alcohol does it take to kill you?
Booze-handling bragging rights are an integral part of British, especially stag culture. But in the grand scheme of the blood coursing through your body, it takes a surprisingly little amount to kill an average puny human. The lethal limit in 50% of humans is just 0.40% Blood Alcohol Content , and reaching that sort of level is tequila-slammingly easy for men and women alike. Stay safe out there people.
