Drinking Games

June 12th 2009 06:15
There's this bar I know - nothing fancy, but it's been a favourite watering hole for a group of us for as long as I can remember.

Want to know which one? Sorry - but that one I'm keeping to myself - ya see it's a little like aladins cave - where you're guarded about who you tell - for fear of losing the magic.

Needless to say though - that small bars are conducive to making friendships and opportunities for people to relate to each other - no matter what their background, economic status or lifestyle.


And this little gem is no exception.

Full of character - both in decor, history and its patronage - it is home to the most inventive of drinking games.

From Three Swallows to Beer Pong, Rainman to Thumper - many a long night of fun, frivolity and sometimes fuzzy Sunday's - they are nights not to be missed - if more for the company than the games these days.

But do you have a favourite drinking game?

What is it and how do you play it?

My favourite is the thumb game - it plays in unison with any other game playing. Basically the thumb master wears a or "the" cap. Whenever he decides, while everyone is doing anything, he places his thumb on the edge of the table. Anyone who sees it also quietly places their thumb on the edge of the table and the last one - who generally does not see any of this has to drink and then becomes the thum master - we used to always play that at the snow while playing cards. Also - the NO pointing rule applies - people can only point with elbow or have to drink. For best results in all drinking games try this website:

Succinct - but true - if drinking is your sole objective.

Isn't life a wonderful watercolour of memories . . .

And as they say - it's sometimes fun to watch.

Did I say that we still tried to mix it with today's youth?

Stay well.

Jason! I have played the thumb game! Sadly, I am ALWAYS the thumb master. Cute! I thought my little group of soaks were the only ones who played that

There's also a fun card game called Presidents and A**holes (wasn't that nice of me to censor myself?) I can't remember exactly how to play it, and needless to say I am not very good at it, because I am always the a**hole! You can probably google it and find the rules.

Fun times

Presidents and A**holes - there may be good reason you can't remember . . . just too good a time was had by all.

Perhaps you and Jason should have a virtual game of Thumbs . . .

I'm in if he's in. I wonder how a virtual game of thumbs would work? I suppose it would have to be some sort of instant messaging system, and it would have to involve several people. I say sounds like a fun Saturday night! Too bad about the time difference. One of us would have to be drinkin' in the afternoon. I'll volunteer. Ha!

Who can drink their drink the fastest.

Really, it's the only real drinking game worth playing.

Someone, I'd lose that game. I once tried to match a friend drink for drink and I was under the table before anyone else had even begun to enjoy themselves! Perhaps this is why I always lose drinking games!
