Palm Tree Drinking Game

The Palm Tree Drinking game, which we’ve heard some people refer to as the Chrismas Tree Dinking Game, is one of the many reasons why we highly recommend bringing a pack of cards to a stag party weekend. The palm tree is slowly formed with the cards on the edge of the pint as the game progresses and the stakes rise. This is the perfect pub drinking game for a stag party, whether it be a Carrick on Shannon stag party weekend or a stag party weekend in Derry. It has all the great characteristics of any good drinking game. It’s simple; it involves copious amounts of drinking, and it has a huge level of suspense.

Palm Tree Drinking Game Rules

You’ll need more than two people to play this palm tree drinking game. To begin with, drop a pint glass smack bang in the middle of the table. Every person on the stag then fills it with some their own drink or drink of their choice. If there is a lot of you, maybe get a pitcher or at least a double pint glass. The idea of this is to create a dirty pint. The dirtier, the better.

Grab a deck of cards. All stag parties should always bring a deck of cards. Create a ring around the dirty pint glass out of the cards. Each guy on the stag party takes turns to pick a card, turn it over and place it on top of the pint glass. If the card is red, that person has to drink their own drink. If the card is black, they’re safe, and it moves on to the next guy.

So, if the player before you is safe and you then turn over a red card, you must drink their drink plus your own drink. This can snowball after a few black cards, meaning some poor fella could end up with a long line of drinks to down.

The Palm Tree

At this point, you’re probably asking, what’s the story with the palm tree?  After each move, the card is placed on top of the pint, but it must have at least two corners showing. It’s basically like a card version of Jenga that adds suspense to the game. Should someone knock all the cards, they must down the dirty pint!

We know that some people refer to this as the Christmas tree drinking game, and while we kind of get where they’re coming from, we think it looks much more like a palm tree than a Christmas tree. What do you think?

This game lets your stag have palm trees wherever they are in the world, but how fun would it be to play it under some actual palm trees on a Benidorm stag party or a Marbella stag party?
