How to Play the Drinking Game Beer Bungee
If Hercules had been a beer drinker, Beer Bungee would have been his greatest labor. Just as the Greek mythic hero was ordered to capture a lion, bull and bear, so will you capture the mighty beer against difficult odds and extreme physical challenges. Every great victory is best witnessed by many. Gather a beer-friendly group together and cheer the hero toward his quest. The glory may be yours.

1
Set up your playing area around a good, strong post, tree or other place to hook your bungee cord. It will have to hold a fully-grown, beer-crazed participant. Attach the bungee or inner tube chain to the stationary object at waist-height.

2
Place the holy grail, or can of beer, at a difficult-to-reach place, such as just at the edge of the bungee when it is fully extended.

3
Add a couple of decoy cans, with or without water in them, to the field of play.

Select an order of play. Hook a player to the bungee cord by the waist or ankle. Add a blindfold, depending on the level of expertise you are looking for.

5
Enter the field solo when it is your turn, with the goal of grasping and drinking a beer faster than anyone else. Have someone call Start, and have the crowd count out your time until you have successfully finished the beer.

Impose time penalties of 5 seconds for getting the decoy beer or for spilling more than you drink.

Win Beer Bungee by getting a hold of and drinking your entire beer the fastest, with the fewest time penalties and the driest shirt.

Tips & Warnings
This action drinking game is best played outside, in front of a large group of tipsy people.
Blind beer bungee ups the ante, as it is potentially more difficult and hazardous for the player. You might want to save the blindfold for a tie or for a second round of the game.
This game has a potentially high frustration level. Be ready to talk a player down, if necessary.
Bungees and beers don't always mix. Play this game in a safe area when you are not too toasted.
Know your limits, be 21 or over, and get someone who isn't drinking to drive you home.
