The idea of the International Drinking Game is to get a group of people to play it on a night on the town. Basically it’s just a bunch of rules that everyone must abide, any failure to do so result in a punishment of the groups choosing. Usually a shot of of alcohol or simply a sip of their drink. Depends how messed up you want to get.
Before You Begin…
Before you can start playing this game you have to choose which rules to play with and what the punishment is. If it’s a bachelor party or a special occasion for one person in particular you could make it so if anyone breaks the rule they buy that person’s next drink. There’s three sets of rules to choose from. Traditional are the rules most commonly used for this game. Casual are rules that are a little easier to follow. Hardcore is the ruleset for those who want to look like total doofuses all night.
