Top 5 Tuesdays: Top 5 Drinking Games

If you have ever consumed alcohol and have a semblance of a social life you have played a drinking game.  You Van Wilders out there have probably already realized that these games are a great way to get to know a girl in a relaxed environment, but if your idea of hitting on a girl is standing awkwardly in the corner, asking her what her major is, get out your engineering paper and take some notes on the 5 best ways to get your drink on while showing your lady that you're the alpha male of the party.  

1. Beruit (Beer Pong for you unsophisticated types):
        'ruit is perhaps the most played, disputed, and fun game of them all.  If you don't know the rules, you should probably go back to your magic cards and take a serious look at where your life is heading.  On the other hand, if you become a master of the table, you can take over a party faster than Mark Cuban jumped at the opportunity to have another mentally insane person give him low fives courtside (keep a lookout for the upcoming Cuban-Sheen handshake, my guess is that it will involve strippers of some sort).  

2. You Got Served
        An addicting, fast-paced, impossible to explain, but easy to play game.  You can look up the rules yourself or call upon the burden of the experienced and ask one of them to explain it to you. I was literally just thinking about including an explanation to this game in the entry, but I got halfway through it and gave up. Basically, just channel your inner knock out, and gang up on some poor soul. 

3. Flip Cup
       This game needs no introduction. Make sure you play it inside or in the garage, not over your mom's new Persian rug because it can get kind of messy when chumps compromise their integrity and decide against finishing their beer. This is a great game for those with less hand eye coordination than a World Series of Poker "athlete" (ed. note- ESPN needs to remove the WSOP from television immediately.  I don't think that I can take having to watch another minute of some dude with blackout shades talking about how his hours of practice on the computer have made him an international celebrity. Dude, nobody will know who you are five seconds after they change the channel.)

4.  Drink Ball
        Once again this game hinges on your ability to chug beer while maintaining superior hand-eye coordination.  It is quite simple.  Two teams each have one unopened beer in each corner of their side of the table while keeping two open beers in the middle of their respective side.  The object is to peg the other teams corner cans and chug your own beer until they can recover the ball and place it on the table.  The first team with no beer left wins. From an observer's standpoint, the more objects cluttered around the table the better, because you are going to see some drunk people wreck themselves faster than Terrence Cody and Albert Haynesworth going through the tires at the same time.  

5. Baseball
       The rules are readily available, just make sure you search for baseball the drinking game, otherwise Google may get confused and think you actually want to go outside and exercise rather than drink beer.  The nice part about this game is that you can have as many people on a team as you like.  Your girlfriend will quickly forget that you have been ignoring her while running train on the beriut table when you let her known that she's your Caesar Izturis and can bat 9th for your team any day of the week.
