Suicide

Setup

Pool table and paraphenelia

Rules to drink by

two players

shot for shot

the object is to sink any ball and the other person has to drink for a certain amount of time, depending on the ball number. for example, player one sinks the 8-ball. player two must drink for 8 seconds, to be counted thus…’1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand…’ and so on. in the event that two balls are made in one shot, the drinker is to add the numbers and drink for the sum. if both balls are under 6, the two numbers can be multiplied if need be.

other variations include:
high ball-for those with the testicular fortitude to handle a quicker version of the game with more drinking. good for when many people want to play as there is a shorter wait. played with the 9-ball rack and using the highst 9 balls (15-7)

low ball-for girls or light drinkers, or both. played the same as high ball, but with the lowest balls (1-9)

fuck you-same rules as suicide but you constantly shoot for the highest ball on the table, regardless of whether or not there is any chance of making the ball.

each of these games can be played with teams of two, cut throat style or otherwise.
