Irish Drinking Games
If you’re looking to get in the mood for a mad night out, then these Irish Drinking Games are for you! These drinking games aren’t for the faint hearted and you’ll probably won’t need a drink for the rest of the night after them. All you’ll need for these drinking games, lads, are a deck of cards, dice and the willingness to drink, which is most often found at an Irish stag party.
Shot Potato
This drinking game isn’t rocket science. It’s similar to playing Hot Potato, except you’re passing around a shot instead. Just turn on the music, pass around the shot, and when the music stops, the person with the shot drinks it. No one gets eliminated, lads. The game ends when the bottle is empty. We played this once at a Cork stag party, and all I can say is, best of luck, lads!
Power Hour
The Power Hour drinking game has varying levels of difficulty; however, the drinking game rules are simple. The lads playing have to either drink a beer or down a shot every 2 minutes. Last man standing wins and the loser must do a forfeit. If someone should complete the hour, they shouldn’t have to buy a drink for the night! So, start the clock and maybe have a bucket ready. This is a great game to play in a pub, though maybe not your local just in case you do anything embarrassing. We recommend heading north to play this game just to be safe. Maybe give it a go on a Letterkenny stag party.
The €2 Spin
This is a drinker v drinker game lads. You’ll need a €2 coin or really any coin for this game. Fill a jug or pitcher with as much beer as you want your opponent to drink. If you’re a good sportsman, you’ll fill up each pitcher equally. Get a pal to spin the coin, and as the coin spins, both you and your opponent must drink as much as you can before the coin stops. Whoever drinks the most before the coin stops wins.
Irish Poker Drinking Game
You’ll need a deck of cards for this one, lads. To be honest, every stag party should have a deck of cards, as card drinking games are great craic. The dealer will deal out 4 cards face down on the table. The person to the left of the dealer goes first to guess if the first card is red or black. If he calls it correctly, he gets to nominate someone to drink for the length of time on the card. If he’s wrong, he has to take a shot. Keep going until you’re basically full to the brim and ready to hit the town. We played this once on a Killkenny stag party after our activity was rained out and it saved the stag.
Irish Roulette
Grab some dice for this game, lads. Crack open a bottle of whiskey. It is Irish Drinking Games we’re talking about here. And prepare to drink some shots. This drinking game is very simple. Again it’s a drinker v drinker game and it’s first to 5 shots. Both drinkers roll the dice and the person who rolls the lowest number drinks. More dice, more players and sure you could expand further through a simple World Cup Format.
The game really ends when you can’t see the numbers on the dice anymore.
So there you have it, lads, some of the best Irish Drinking Games to kickstart your stag party weekend or any big night out you have coming up!
