Playing quarters is for your parents generation, beer pong lost its excitement after your senior year in high school, and flip cup- let’s face it was never all that interesting to begin with, so what better to do before studying for your psychology test- invent a new drinking game. Here are some tips to help you future Alexander Graham Bells get started:
- Never ruling out any of the wildest possibilities that enter your mind. If your roommate wants to fill his baseball cleats with beer as step one of the game- let him, funneling didn’t come from the mind of someone who was thinking within the box.
- Invite as many people over as possible to help you brainstorm. Diverse groups are known to form the most creative ideas and if you want this game to spread to basements around the country it should be something people will find a good enough excuse to base a party around.
- Don’t limit yourself to alcohol. If milk is your drink of choice knock yourself out, the ultimate goal is to have a good time, which doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be passed before you can finish making up the rest of the rules.
- Work with what you have. Simplicity is king when it comes to innovation, a carpenter never blames his tools and you shouldn’t be limited by a lean budget. If your props cost more than the libations you're filling them with you probably need to re-evaluate your approach.
Have fun and be safe. The recreational drinkers of the world are counting on you.
