Setup

Works best with 5 to 10 people

Rules to drink by

This is a counting game from 1 to 20.

All players must stand around a table of some sort, so you can place your cup in front of you.

The first person starts at 1 and counts by tapping their shoulder in the direction they want the circle to go.

They tap their shoulder with the opposite hand (left shoulder -> right hand)

The person in the that direction must now say the next number in order while still tapping their shoulder in either direction. They can reverse the circle.

This continues until the numbers 5 + 15. With these two, your arms are in front of you parallel to each other and the floor. The top arm is the direction for the number five and the bottom arm is for 15.

For example, if five is reached and my top arm points to the left then the circle continues in that direction.

With the numbers 10 and 20, the person in turn must point to any other player in the circle, saying “TEN” for the number ten, but only pointing for twenty without saying “twenty”

If/when twenty is reached the person who has been pointed to makes up a rule
(EX. numbers 3 and 13 are now “douche bag” you must say “douche bag” instead of “three” or “thirteen”)

drinking occurs when any player does not make the correct hand motion for the coinciding number, or hesitates for more than 2 seconds(approximately), or does not say the right number or word.

Game is fast pace and in order to be effective for getting drunk.

also, if desired, a social drink may occur when twenty is reached.
