5 Drinking Games That'll Get the Party Started (and Clothes Coming Off)

Megan

Alright, party animals, we're about to elevate your drinking game from "college freshman" to "seasoned hedonist." These five games are guaranteed to get the booze flowing, the laughter roaring, and yeah, maybe a few buttons undoing. Remember: drink responsibly, consent enthusiastically, and for the love of all that's holy, hide your phone. What happens at the party stays at the party (unless it ends up on Instagram, in which case, godspeed).

1. Strip Poker: High Stakes, Low Clothing

What You'll Need:

  • A deck of cards

  • A group of friends with questionable judgment

  • Enough liquid courage to make you think you're good at poker

How to Play:

  1. Deal the cards and play poker as usual.

  2. The loser of each hand removes one item of clothing.

  3. Keep playing until someone's in their birthday suit or you've all forgotten how to count cards.

Pro Tips:

  • Wear layers. Think less "elegant evening wear" and more "Russian nesting doll."

  • If you're terrible at poker, at least hit the gym before game night. You're welcome.

Intoxication Level: Moderate. You need to be sober enough to remember what a full house is.

Nudity Potential: High. It's literally in the name, folks.

2. Body Shot Roulette

What You'll Need:

  • Tequila (or your spirit of choice)

  • Salt

  • Lime wedges

  • A die

  • A group of friends with washboard abs (or at least a sense of humor)

How to Play:

  1. Assign each number on the die to a body part (e.g., 1 = neck, 2 = stomach, 3 = arm, etc.)

  2. Player 1 rolls the die to determine where the salt goes.

  3. Roll again for the lime placement.

  4. A third roll determines where the shot glass goes.

  5. Player 2 becomes the human buffet, Player 1 does the shot.

  6. Rotate and repeat!

Pro Tips:

  • Have towels handy. Things can get messy.

  • Maybe don't invite your boss to this one. Or do. We don't judge.

Intoxication Level: High. It's basically a drinkable Twister.

Nudity Potential: Medium to high, depending on your die rolls and flexibility.

3. Truth, Dare, or Drink

What You'll Need:

  • Alcohol

  • A group of friends with secrets

  • No shame

How to Play:

  1. Go around the circle. Each player chooses: Truth, Dare, or Drink.

  2. For Truth: Answer a personal question honestly.

  3. For Dare: Perform a task chosen by the group.

  4. For Drink: Take a shot and skip your turn.

  5. Refuse a truth or dare? Drink and lose a piece of clothing.

Pro Tips:

  • Start tame and escalate. Build that sexual tension, baby.

  • Have a safe word for when things get too wild. May we suggest "pineapple"?

Intoxication Level: Variable. Depends on how many secrets you're keeping.

Nudity Potential: Medium. But the stories you'll hear? Priceless.

4. Spin the Bottle: Grown-Up Edition

What You'll Need:

  • A bottle

  • Liquid courage

  • Breath mints (trust us)

How to Play:

  1. Sit in a circle and spin the bottle.

  2. Instead of just kissing, the spinner chooses an action:

    • Kiss

    • Massage for 30 seconds

    • Remove one item of clothing (yours or theirs)

    • Whisper your best pick-up line

  3. Refuse an action? Take a drink and remove an item of clothing.

Pro Tips:

  • Set boundaries beforehand. Consent is sexy, folks.

  • Maybe brush up on your massage skills. YouTube tutorials exist for a reason.

Intoxication Level: Moderate. You want to remember those kisses, right?

Nudity Potential: High. It's amazing how quickly clothes come off when it's part of a game.

5. Never Have I Ever: After Dark Edition

What You'll Need:

  • Alcohol

  • 10 fingers

  • A sordid past (or very boring one, no judgment)

How to Play:

  1. Everyone holds up 10 fingers and takes turns saying "Never have I ever..." followed by something sexual they've never done.

  2. If you've done it, put a finger down and take a drink.

  3. Last person with fingers up wins (or loses, depending on how you look at it).

Sample Statements:

  • "Never have I ever had a threesome."

  • "Never have I ever sent a nude to the wrong person."

  • "Never have I ever done it in a public place."

Pro Tips:

  • The boring people get drunk faster. It's nature's way of making them more interesting.

  • Prepare to learn things about your friends you can't unlearn. You've been warned.

Intoxication Level: High. You'd be surprised what your friends have done.

Nudity Potential: Low, but the mental images? Off the charts.

Remember, party people: drink water between rounds, know your limits, and always, ALWAYS make sure everyone's having fun and feeling comfortable. Consent is non-negotiable, even when you're three sheets to the wind and playing sexy Jenga.

Now go forth and party, you beautiful disasters. May your drinks be strong, your inhibitions low, and your Uber rating unaffected.
