*PICS* How to play flip cup

[Lestat]

So when I was in college for my undergrad (1995-2000) the drinking games of choice were card games, usually Asshole and Kings.

After I graduated, beer pong hit the scene and took over, but its a slow game and usually only involes 4 people at a time.

Enter FLIP CUP! You can use the same table that you got for beer pong, but now you can get 10-16 people involed in a single game! It goes MUCH faster than beer pong and everyone drinks!


So you get a long table and pour 1/2-2/3 of a beer into a 16oz SOLO cup. 1 cup per player, you have TWO teams, each team lines up on either side of the table. You need at least 2 people per team, but ideally 4-5 would be good.

After you load up the cups with beer, we do a ceremonial handshake with the opponent directly across from you.

check out my tricep

you start at one end of the table. Its a relay race, so the first person goes, then the 2nd, then 3rd.

When you start, the first person on each team picks up their beer and chugs it, then you set the cup on the edge of the table upright, and flip it with your hand so it lands mouth down.


here are the first two people chugging

So how the fuck do you play?

ya I've played before

So after the first peron gets their cup to land upside down, sometimes this takes one try, sometimes 10+! This is usually where the game is won or lost.

Notice in this picture the team on the right has TWO cups down, my team on the left is still trying for their first, the girl isn't quite getting it.

so obviously the more you drink the harder it is to land your cup upright.

 

[Lestat]

my team came back to win HUGE! Here we are celebrating the victory.

First team that has all their players down their beer and flip their cup (one at a time, in order) wins.

The end result is that both teams end up downing their beers as games are usually always very close.

its a blast man, women get into it, its a great way to get the party started early. You can drink on the beach from 12pm to 8pm, at 12pm everyone on the beach started cheering, beers were cracked and we kicked off the first game of flip cup.

Great game BTW!

the chugging beer part I was always sweet at, but I always fuck up the "flip" part and get pissed and spike my cup at the ground

 

[Smurfy]

i dont get how you flip it and make it land upside down without it falling onto the ground.

stringbean, if you were any kind of a man, you'd crush that fucking cup on your forehead while letting out a loud growl

 

[pdaddyII]

gawd what a game of the gods

theres nothing like drinking in the sun.....

ive played my share of drinking games. the last one being 3 man. its played with dice and the person who rolls a 3 first is the 3 man. whenever a 3 is rolled in any combination the 3 man has to drink and you make rules along the way if you roll doubles. like you cant drink with your right hand, or you cant say drink drank or drunk etc... well i got REAL fucked up and me and 2 friends decided to go to the beach at 3 am. well i decided i wanted to go swimming. i dont remember much but we figure i dove in head first and split my head open on these huge bolders that used to be a coast guard pier they tore apart but never removed. well to make a long story short i ended up in intesive care for 2 weeks on a respirator because i lost the ability to breath on my own and smashed my head wide open. i lost a bunch of blood. if the security guard at the beach didnt find me when he did i would not have been here today.

so yes that was the very last time i played a drinking game. not to rain on your parade lestat if its for you then its for you. just not for me is all. i was only 18 and was in the navy for only 8 months at the time.

..

sometimes i would smash it sideways and inadvertently take out the whole setup.

The coasts are the fashion trendsetters. The midwest is the drinking trendsetter I guess since we have nothing better to do. Welcome to 10+ years ago. That game is one of the best social drinking games ever designed. It'll definitely get the girls into it and drunk.

3 man is fun, but flip cup (women sometimes call it 'flippy cup') can involve more people;.

how do you play it?

 

[string_bean00]

how do you play it?

you turn on AC-DC's 'thunderstruck' song and get eveyrone in a circle with like three beers each. the first time they say 'thunder' in the song person 1 has to start drinking with his beer striaght up vertical until they say thunder again, and at this point person 2 takes on the drinking until it is said again, where person 3 takes over. no pussy sipping, beer must be perpendicular to the ground.

it starts off real easy because they say thunder like every few seconds at the beginning of the song but there are two long ass guitar solos where ive seen guys puke. on average you go through like 2 or 3 beers in a 4 min song (more if you get a guitar solo). I wouldn't play more than three rounds tops or you will get sick, lol.


it's not as good of a social game as say flip cup though, this is more just being manly.
