Easy Drinking Games
If you’re looking for an easy, drinking game that doesn’t have too many rules, then check out these popular, super simple ones. These are great options if you’re not in the mood for anything serious or if there’s a big group, as late-comers can easily join in at any point. Plus, it makes a fun way to pre-game a bit without going overboard, and you can even include your non-drinking friends before heading out for the night.1. Shot Roulette
Up there with the best drinking games for adults, Shot Roulette is easy to grasp and doesn’t require anyone to know each other well. This means it’s also a good way to make friends while in London! Simply get a tray of shot glasses, fill half of them with water and half of them with vodka (or any drinks of choice). Those playing have to guess what’s in their glass without sniffing the substance. They then take the shot. If they guessed incorrectly, they have to take another.2. Fuzzy Duck
A classic British drinking game that doesn’t require cards or any complicated rules. You should sit in a circle and take turns saying “Fuzzy Duck” – This goes on until someone says: “Does He”, at which point the order is reversed, and you have to say “Ducky Fuzz” instead. If you mess up, then you have to drink. Easy. Or it is until you’re a few drinks down!3. International Drinking Rules
This one requires the least amount of organization to play and relies on everyone enforcing the rules as they go. Simply decide on some “international” drinking rules that apply to everyone in attendance and enjoy! It can be a great way to introduce your own culture as an international student who’s made their way to a whole new country for study (which can be overwhelming – check out our international students guide for some other tips), and a good way to learn the local customs, too.- You’re encouraged to make up your own rules, but here are a few to get you going:
- If you swear, take a shot.
- Drink whenever someone says your name.
- You can only drink with your non-dominant hand (if you are right-handed, drink with your left).
