5 Drinking Games to Break the Ice

Drinking games

We all know that to throw a fantastic party you need more than just a few kegs of beer and some attractive ladies. (Well, not really. Still, drinking games are a must, as they are a sure-fire way to loosen up the vibe. Who doesn’t like an old-fashioned round of quarters?)

Now, with a few choice drinking games you can transform what started out as a social gathering into a wild (and crazy) night of debauchery and shenanigans. Girls skinny dipping, Frank the Tank downing a yard of ale in less than a minute and frivolous copulation with inebriated freshmen!

(Ok, none of those will happen, but just imagine…)

So, without further ado, I present to you: 5 Drinking Games to Break the Ice!

The Birth of Beer Pong

Beer Pong

The air is humid, stagnant and reeks of beer. Ping-pong balls zip back and forth across 9-by-5 sheets of solid wood straddled across garbage cans.

A typical Friday night at Dartmouth Collge is well underway.

Beer Pong is the main staple of Dartmouth’s Greek-dominated social scene. An The New York Times article way back in October 2005 about the perils of drinking games labeled Dartmouth the official founder of beer pong. Unofficial College historian and history professor emeritus Jere Daniell ‘55 recalls playing pong in its most primitive form when he was a member of Alpha Theta fraternity between 1952 and 1955. “I’m not even sure it had a name,” Daniell says.

Air Out Your Dorm, You Slob!

Dorm, apartment slob

Ah, to be independent from your parents and siblings - it’s freedom that most college students aren’t ready for, believe it or not. Case in point: you live like a slob ’cause your mom always did your laundry, and your idea of clean is hiding a mess until the smell becomes so repugnant that calling the fumigators may be a lost cause.

Living with like-minded slobs doesn’t help matters. It’s all fun and games until you find yourself less likely to sleep at home and more likely to crash on somebody else’s couch. You have a dorm/apartment so utilize it, you slob!

Here are some convenient and affordable tips to keep your living area clean:

Buy toiletries in bulk

I know the first thing you’re thinking is “What the f*** are toiletries?” Well, “toiletries” is French (or something) for “bathroom stuff” like toilet paper, bathroom spray, shampoo, conditioner, cotton swabs, toothpaste - you know, that stuff you’ve never bought yourself.

Somewhere within a 20 mile radius from your living space is a Wal-Mart, or even better, Sam’s Club. Take a weekend trip with the roomies twice a month to stock up on all the essentials for cheap. If there’s no super-savings store near you - or if you don’t have any source of transportation - ask that guy/gal who goes home every weekend (there’s always one) if they can pick you up a bundle of bathroom stuff. Tip ‘em nice and you’re in the clear with a clear conscience.

One more thing: use the products; don’t just stock them up for show. Read More »

The Babe Ruth of “Quarters”

Talk about glory in a shot glass!

When I play “Quarters” it takes me at least 5 tries to bounce a quarter into the shot glass. This guy makes 10 quarters in one shot. If it’s real I wanna see him perform it live on Regis and Kelly. Check out the video and let me know whether or not you think it has been digitally enhanced.
