Ever wondered exactly what your college aged “child” was talking about when describing the game beer pong? Want to know the real rules behind the drinking game “quarters?” Or maybe you are getting ready to have your own Mardi Gras, New Years or Oktoberfest party and would like to have a game or two to play. Consider using this complete guide to beer drinking games.
Some say that drinking and games go hand in hand; or shall I say, mouth to hand. Many different drinking games exist and more than one creative individual has devised his/her own drinking game at some point. But as everyone knows, some drinking games have established themselves over the years as classic forms of entertainment and The Complete Book of Drinking Games brings them all to your fingertips with fifty classic games involving beer, friends, and fun times.
The Complete Book of Drinking Games offers fifty different beer- imbibing games from the familiar rounds of Quarters and Blow Pong to less common but equally enjoyable games like Boot- a- Bout and others. Each game includes a rundown of the rules, the object of each game, and the materials needed. Scattered throughout are some amusing pictures, some beer trivia, and other fun facts to keep you educated as you toss back another gulp of cold brew.
The Complete Book of Drinking Games doesn’t waste its time with excessive filler. The trivia adds a nice touch but the book’s primary goal is fun and it aims to keep readers enthralled with the different ways to enjoy beer while partaking in a series of social involvements that test your skill or ability to remember. Most drinking games involve either a physical skill or a test of your short- term memory: Two things that gradually deplete themselves with each passing sip. This book contains plenty of these silly games and some of them are sure to be a hit at your next keg party.
Originally published more than ten years ago, The Complete Book of Drinking Games has evolved with multiple new editions and the most recent now covers 144 pages. Authors Andy Griscom, Scott Johnston, and Ben Rand continue to find new ways to amuse and they present some of the best drinking games in the pages of this short but entertaining guide.
Author Andy Griscom admits his surprise at the book’s success when he said “The Funny Thing is, We Don’t Remember Ever Deciding to Write This Book”. But beer drinkers everywhere are certainly glad he and the others did. It makes for a handy party reference and a nice gift for the social beer lover who likes to share.
