Flip Cup, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Pong & Cup Games · Players: Two teams of 3+ · You’ll need: A cup per player; table; beer

A team relay: chug, then flip your cup upside-down before your teammate can start.

Setup: Two equal teams line up on opposite sides of a table, everyone facing an opponent. Each player fills a plastic cup about a third with beer and stands it near the table edge in front of them.

How to play:

1. The two starting players (same end of the table) tap cups, tap the table, and on "go" chug their beer.
2. When your cup is empty, set it upright, hanging slightly over the table edge. Flick the rim upward with one or two fingers so the cup flips and lands upside-down on the table.
3. It rarely lands first try, reset and flick again as fast as you can. You may not use two hands to place it down.
4. Only when your cup lands flipped may the next teammate begin chugging.

Winning: First team to flip all cups down the line wins. Best of 3 or 5, refill and go again.
