Amsterdam Beer Slapping

Setup

At least two people, preferably more. Drinks, preferably glasses or bottles of beer.

Rules to drink by

Amsterdam beer slapping is a Dutch drinking game for at least two people, played regularly in Amsterdam bars.

In a group of people, one takes the initiative and suddenly places a full glass of beer on his head, and holds it there with one hand. Others follow his example. The last one to do so is slapped gently on the head by all the others.

This is an anarchic and funny game. Speed and initiative are of the essence.

Introduction of this game to newcomers should be spontaneous. Simply place a glass of beer on your head. Soon, someone will ask you for the reason behind your absurd behaviour. Slap him as described above. Then the two of you repeat the procedure with a third person. Alternatively, try the line: do you know what Amsterdam beer slapping is? Then repeat as above.

rules:
– you may not slap without a glass on your own head
– you may not slap with an empty glass on your head.
– slapping is only permitted on the head, NOT on the face or beer glasses.

Warning: doing this to unsuspecting strangers can result in fights.

drinking
– the last one to place a glass on his head gets the new round AND/OR
– Anyone to use empty glasses gets the new round.

variations – crossover beer slapping. Instead of placing the beer on your own head, place it on your friend’s head.
