core, NBA 2k drink every time you score a 3 pointer, or Call of Duty drink every time you day. Whatever you game of choice is, play together and weave in fun drinking rules.



5. Never Have I Ever


No reason this classic party game can’t be played in a couple. If your looking to get the drinks down quickly then this one is perfect. Say something you have or haven’t done (we think its more fun when it pertains to bedroom acts), then if either of you have done it, drink!


6. Sexy Countdown


All you need for this one is All 4. We’ve all seen the classic channel 4 tv show, now its time to play along with drinking rules. Simply turn on any random episode from All4 and play along pausing the show at the end of each round to reveal your own scores. If wordplay isn’t your forte, not to worry as our bonus sexy rules level the playing field. Any naughty or inappropriate words you come up with count as double. The loser of each round must take a shot. The loser of the entire game has to do a forfeit of the winner’s choice.



7. Shots checkers

Shot Checkers played with shot glasses

Swap out the pieces of a classic board game, and replace them with alcohol and you've got yourself a date night. Just like normal checkers but use shot glasses instead of the wooden pieces. Every time a piece gets taken, take the shot. If you don't have the board, you can draw the grid on a piece of paper. Don't have shot glasses, not too late to nip out and get disposables from a convenience store.




8. Guess the song


This game is a twist on the classic play the first 30 seconds of the song and guess. In this game it’s all down to you, don’t worry there’s no singing involved! Choose a song your partner should know and say the first 6 lines of the song in the most monotone voice you can do to throw them off the scent. If you partner guesses wrong then they take a shot, if they guess wrong, the shots all yours. You’ll be surprised with some of the songs you don’t know the first 6 lines for!



9. Dare Wine pong


Imagine beer pong but more sophisticated. Use your dining table to set up your cups and fill each cup with a couple of shots of wine. Every time you land a shot, drink the contents. If you want to turn things up a notch, play a round of truth or dare with each successful shot. Here’s a great list tailor made for you to use here.
