Drinking Board Games
Drinking board games may be store bought. These games
are designed to involve drinking, though that may not be the subject
matter of the actual game. Some people also play regular board games
and add their own drinking twist.
Martini The Game and Brew opoly are examples of themed drinking board
games that can be purchased from a retail location. The first has players
race each other in the creation of a martini. The second is the game
Monopoly with breweries as its subject matter.
Other drinking board games may use the regular sets of such games as
checkers, chess, or battleship. They often involve game pieces representing
or being represented by small shots of some beverage. Each time a player
loses a piece, he or she is required to drink the shot.
When alcoholic beverages are used for these games, it is important
that caution is exercised. Generally, lower alcohol percentages are
used. This means that the shots are commonly shots of beer rather than
hard alcohol. Diluted mixed drinks may also be used, as well as extra
small sips of stronger drinks.
