Strap yourself in for a barrel of laughs and a party to remember with this incredible collection of booze-based games from around the world.

This comprehensive guide gives you all the essentials required to play, including difficulty ratings, a “what you need” section and clear game instructions.

But this is no ordinary collection of boozy shenanigans – it contains the collective knowledge of beer chuggers, gin swiggers and wine sippers from across the globe. Learn how to wear “Chicken Goggles” like the Aussies, beat the Brits at “The Horse Race” and “Slip It In” like an American.

And that’s not all: while you’re waiting for your turn, you can distract and amuse yourself with one of the many random drinking facts and myths found throughout the book – that is, if the room isn’t already spinning.

Forget “Beer Pong” – these are the world’s CRAZIEST drinking games!

Liven up the party with this heady collection of drinking games!

Choose from brain-boggling classics such as Fuzzy Duck and Twenty-One, or dizzying games of pure chance like TV Drinking and Vodka Roulette – whichever you play, you’re guaranteed to be gleeful and giggly by the end!

Most of these games have one thing in common: they combine a full glass of booze with making a complete fool of yourself – all the ingredients for a great night, in fact! These games take different formats – cards, chance, verbal, etc. – but the outcome is always the same: players will find themselves laughing hysterically at each other.

Each game has a list of what you will need to play – needless to say, you will need alcohol of some sort for all of them. So, gather your friends and crack open your favourite poison: it’s time to play some drinking games!

Please drink responsibly. This book is intended for use by adults only.
