Pool Drinking Game Rules
Play out the game as normal with these added drinking rules.
- If you scratch, you drink.
- If your opponents sink a ball of theirs, you drink.
- If you sink one of your opponents balls drink twice.
- If you sink the 8 ball before you were supposed to, finish your drink.
- At the end of the game the losing team takes a drink for every one of their balls still on the table.
- Any blunder results in an extra drink. Such as hitting a ball off the table or accidentally hitting someone with your pool cue.
Calling a shot
If players want to they can choose to call out a shot. If they do this and sink a ball, the opponents will have to drink twice. But if they miss they will have to drink twice themselves. They must call out which ball they are going to sink and in which pocket.
Getting Walloped
If a player loses with more than 4 balls still on the table they have to pound back their drink. For shame.
