Fun Games to Play When Drunk: Because Sobriety is Overrated

When the night is young, the drinks are flowing, and the inhibitions are low, there’s no better time to dive into some hilariously chaotic games. Whether you’re at a house party, a bar, or just chilling with friends, drunk games are the ultimate icebreakers and memory-makers. Here’s a list of fun games to play when drunk, because let’s face it, sobriety is overrated.

1. Never Have I Ever

This classic game is a guaranteed way to uncover secrets and spark laughter. Each player takes turns saying something they’ve never done, and anyone who has done it takes a drink. The more outrageous the statements, the better. For example, “Never have I ever pretended to be a ninja in public.” Trust me, someone will drink to that.

2. Kings Cup

A staple of any drinking game repertoire, Kings Cup involves a deck of cards and a lot of creativity. Each card has a rule attached to it, like “Two is for you” (pick someone to drink) or “Seven is heaven” (last person to raise their hand drinks). The chaos escalates as the game progresses, especially when the King’s Cup is finally poured and consumed.

3. Drunk Jenga

Take the classic game of Jenga and give it a boozy twist. Write drinking rules on each block, like “Take two shots” or “Do a dance move.” As the tower becomes more unstable, so do the players. It’s a perfect blend of skill, luck, and liquid courage.

4. Beer Pong

No drunk game list is complete without beer pong. The rules are simple: throw a ping pong ball into cups of beer, and your opponent has to drink if you score. It’s competitive, messy, and a great way to test your hand-eye coordination (or lack thereof) after a few drinks.

5. Truth or Drink

A spinoff of Truth or Dare, this game forces players to answer deeply personal or embarrassing questions—or take a drink instead. Questions like “What’s the weirdest place you’ve ever fallen asleep?” or “Have you ever cried during a commercial?” are guaranteed to get the group laughing.

6. Drunk Charades

Acting out movie titles, famous people, or random objects is hard enough when you’re sober. Add alcohol to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for hilarity. Whether you’re trying to mime “The Titanic” or “a confused giraffe,” the results will be unforgettable.

7. Flip Cup

This team-based game is all about speed and coordination. Players race to drink a cup of beer and then flip it upside down using only one hand. The first team to finish wins, but let’s be honest, everyone’s a winner when you’re this drunk.

8. Drunk Drawing

Grab some paper and pens, and let the artistic chaos begin. One player describes something (like “a unicorn riding a skateboard”), and the others have to draw it blindfolded or with their non-dominant hand. The results are always absurd and often frame-worthy.

9. Musical Chairs (Drunk Edition)

Take the childhood game and add alcohol. Every time the music stops, the player left without a chair has to take a shot. The combination of stumbling, laughing, and competitive spirit makes this a party favorite.

10. The Alphabet Game

This one’s simple but surprisingly challenging after a few drinks. Pick a category (like movies or countries) and take turns naming something that starts with each letter of the alphabet. If you can’t think of one, you drink. Bonus points for creativity when you’re stuck on “X.”

11. Drunk Twister

Twister is already a recipe for awkward positions and laughter. Add alcohol, and it becomes a full-blown comedy show. Just try not to fall over—or do, because that’s half the fun.

12. The Whiskey Challenge

For the brave (or foolish), this game involves taking a shot of whiskey and then trying to complete a task, like reciting the alphabet backward or solving a math problem. The harder the task, the funnier the results.

13. Drunk Karaoke

Nothing brings people together like belting out off-key renditions of your favorite songs. Whether you’re channeling your inner Beyoncé or attempting “Bohemian Rhapsody,” drunk karaoke is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

14. The Floor is Lava

Yes, the childhood game makes a comeback. The rules are simple: the floor is lava, and you have to get from one side of the room to the other without touching it. Add alcohol, and you’ve got a recipe for creative (and often disastrous) solutions.

15. Drunk Mario Kart

Gaming and drinking go hand in hand, and Mario Kart is the perfect choice. Assign drinking rules to in-game events, like taking a shot every time you fall off the track or get hit by a blue shell. Just don’t blame the alcohol for your poor driving skills.
