How to Play the Drinking Game Drink or Dare

You're probably familiar with the game Truth or Dare, where each player gets to choose between revealing something personal or performing a daring act. When you play the drinking game Drink or Dare, you can replace the "truth" part with drinking!

Things You'll Need

• Alcoholic beverages

Instructions

1. Gather a group of friends and have a few drinks. The suggestion to play Drink or Dare will sound much more appealing to people if they've already been consuing alcohol. You can play with as few as two people, but it's more fun with a larger group.

2. Get comfortable. If you're at a big party, find an area away from the rest of the party.

3. Start with a dare. It doesn't really matter who goes first because everyone will get their turn. Each participant should also get a chance to make up a dare for someone else.

4. If you turn down a dare, you must take a drink. Once people have turned down a few dares, the group will be intoxicated enough to perform some amusing dares.

Tips & Warnings

• Creativity is the key. You may want to save some of your innovative and embarrassing dares for later in the game when people would be more likely to make good on them.

• Before you begin playing, decide how much alcohol needs to be consumed each time a participant turns down a dare. The amount should stay constant, but can change if enough people agree.

• Make sure the dares don't get out of hand. The emphasis should be on having light-hearted fun, not on humiliating your friends.

• You should never dare someone to do something against the law or that could cause them bodily harm.
