5 Drinking Activities That Can Make a Fun Night

Drinking is a social activity that most people enjoy. However, sometimes just the act of drinking itself isn’t enough to get the party started. Sometimes, you need an activity to bring everyone together.

In this blog, we’re going to list five drinking activities that can take your night to the next level.

1. Drink and Draw

Drink and draw is a popular group activity that can get your creative juices flowing. During the event, you get to sip on some fine drinks while you’re letting your inner Picasso out. Essentially, it’s an art class with a twist of alcohol.

The event is usually run by a local artist who will hold your hand throughout the painting process. The canvas, paper, paints and brushes will all be provided so you don’t have to worry about bringing anything for the night. Additionally, you’ll usually have a picture to go off so that you can easily follow along regardless of your artistic skills.

2. Jenga

Regular Jenga is fun and all, but I think most people will agree that it’s a much better game when there are drinks involved.

To play drunk Jenga, all you need is a regular Jenga set and a permanent marker. On each block, you’re going to write a daring task for the players to act out. Each time someone pulls a Jenga block, they must do what is written on it or take a shot.

The task can be as simple as singing at the top of your lungs or something a little more personal like texting your ex. You can be as adventurous or as conversative as you want to be with these dares.

3. Pool

The pool hall is a fantastic place to meet new people and socialise with friends. The atmosphere is usually relaxed and more casual compared to a regular bar or pub. Additionally, pool is a sport that has a dedicated and passionate player base that is more than happy to welcome new people into the scene.

The best part is, most pool halls offer beers and finger food. Unlike other sports, pool is a game that can be played casually while having a drink. You can converse with your friends, take photos, record fun videos, all while the game is going on.

To make things more fun, you can even put something on the line or take turns trying to do trick shots. It’s a fun, flexible game that can guarantee a great night for you and your friends.

4. Mini Golf

If pool isn’t your thing, why not play mini golf? It’s an easy game that can be played by practically anyone. You don’t need to have played for years in order to hit some good shots. Also, to ensure that everyone has fun, most mini-golf establishments implement an element of luck in their courses. This reduces the competitiveness between friends and emphasises the fun of the experience.

Like pool, mini-golf is a game that can be played at your own leisurely pace. This allows you to have some drinks in between shots and banter with some friends.

5. Classic Party Games

If all else fails, it’s always a safe bet to revert to the classics. This includes games like flip cup and beer pong.

These games are often successful because they’re easy to play and they’re accessible. All you need is a few plastic cups, some ping pong balls, alcohol and you’re good to go.

If you’re up to it, you can also make up your own drinking game based on these classics. Remember, a fun party game is easy to understand, easy to play, and involves as many people as possible. Another important aspect of party games is humour. You don’t want the games to be so competitive that it leaves the other side feeling down. At the end of the game, you want everyone laughing and smiling.

There you have it, five drinking activities that you can try out with your friends. If you’re looking to try out these games, always remember to drink responsibly and appoint designated drivers if you need to. Besides that, just have fun and enjoy the games as they come.
