There’s something truly special about a night in with the girls.
It’s that perfect blend of comfort, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos that only happens when you’re with your besties.
So, why not crank up the fun at your next girls’ night with a lineup of drinking party games that are guaranteed to bring out the giggles, the inside jokes, and maybe even a little friendly competition?
1. Kings
How to Play: Kings is a classic card game that’s simple to set up and always fun to play! Spread a deck of cards face down in a circle, and place a cup in the center. Each card has a different rule (e.g., 2 is “you,” 3 is “me,” 4 is “floor”). Players take turns drawing cards and following the rules for each card. Some cards mean everyone takes a sip, while others get creative with fun mini-challenges.
Players: 3–8 people, but it works with larger groups too!
Game Length: About 30–45 minutes, depending on how fast you’re drawing cards.
2. Drunk Jenga
How to Play: This is like regular Jenga, but with a twist! Write funny dares or drinking rules on each block (like “take two sips,” “swap seats,” or “sing a song”). Every time a player pulls a block, they must complete the dare or rule written on it. If the tower collapses, the one who caused it gets an extra challenge—like finishing their drink!
Players: Works well with 2–6 players.
Game Length: Usually 15–30 minutes, depending on how steady (or tipsy) everyone is.
3. Flip Cup
How to Play: Split into two teams and line up on opposite sides of a table. Each player has a cup filled with a small amount of their drink. When the game starts, the first person drinks and then tries to flip their cup upside-down by flicking the rim with their fingers. Once they succeed, the next person on their team goes. The first team to finish flipping all their cups wins!
Players: 4 or more (the more, the merrier!).
Game Length: Each round is pretty quick, usually just a few minutes, and you can play as many rounds as you want.
4. High or Low
How to Play: In this quick, easy card game, each player guesses if the next card in the deck will be higher or lower than the previous card. If they guess wrong, they take a sip of their drink. You can add extra rules for more fun, like taking two sips if they’re off by more than three numbers!
Players: Ideal for 3–6 players.
Game Length: About 10–15 minutes, or as long as you want to keep playing.
5. Yahtzee with a Twist
How to Play: This is the same as the classic dice game, but with a few drinking rules added for good measure! Roll the dice and aim for certain combinations (like three of a kind or a full house). Each combination comes with a fun twist: for instance, if you roll a full house, everyone else takes a sip; if you miss your roll, you take a drink.
Players: 2–6 players.
Game Length: Each round can be around 15–20 minutes, so it’s easy to play a few rounds and move on to the next game.
6. Never Have I Ever
How to Play: This game is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for getting to know each other better! Each person takes a turn saying “Never have I ever…” followed by something they’ve never done (like “Never have I ever been on a roller coaster”). If anyone in the group has done that thing, they take a sip of their drink. It’s a great way to spark stories and laughter over shared experiences!
Players: Works well with 4 or more people.
Game Length: Play as long as you want! A typical round lasts about 20–30 minutes, but it’s easy to pick up and play throughout the night.
7. Who’s Most Likely To…
How to Play: This game is all about seeing how well everyone knows each other (or making some fun guesses!). One person reads a prompt, like “Who’s most likely to book a last-minute trip?” or “Who’s most likely to fall asleep at a party?” Then, everyone points to the person they think fits the description. The person with the most votes takes a sip, so choose your answers wisely!
Players: Best with 5 or more people.
Game Length: Around 15–25 minutes, but you can easily keep it going or take breaks.
8. Truth or Drink
How to Play: Like Truth or Dare, but with a twist! Each person takes turns asking someone a question, and they can either answer it or take a sip of their drink. Make the questions light-hearted and fun, or go for something a bit more personal—whatever the group is comfortable with! This game is a fun way to encourage some storytelling and maybe reveal a few surprises.
Players: 3 or more.
Game Length: About 20–30 minutes, though it’s easy to play several rounds.
9. Would You Rather (Drinking Edition)
How to Play: Go around the circle and have each person ask a “Would you rather” question, like “Would you rather only drink water for the rest of your life or only drink soda?” Players choose their answer, and anyone who chooses the less popular answer takes a sip. This version keeps it light and playful, but feel free to get creative with the questions!
Players: Works well with 4 or more people.
Game Length: Typically 15–25 minutes, but can go longer if the group is having fun.
10. Two Truths and a Lie
How to Play: Each person takes a turn saying three statements about themselves—two true ones and one lie. The rest of the group has to guess which one is the lie. If they guess correctly, the person who told the statements takes a sip; if they guess wrong, they take a sip. It’s a great way to learn fun (and sometimes unexpected) things about your friends!
Players: Best with 3 or more people.
Game Length: About 10–20 minutes, depending on the group size.
11. Drunk Twister
How to Play: This classic game of Twister gets a hilarious twist when you add drinks! Spread out your Twister mat, and whenever someone loses their balance or falls over, they have to take a sip of their drink. You can add your own rules too, like taking a drink if your elbow or knee touches the mat. It’s a great way to add some laughs, especially as the game (and the night) goes on!
Players: Works best with 2–4 players on the mat, but others can cheer and take turns.
Game Length: Each round lasts about 5–10 minutes, but it’s fun to play a few rounds and swap out players.
12. Drunk Charades
How to Play: This version of charades is just like the original—split into teams, and each team takes turns acting out a word or phrase while the others guess. The twist? Every time your team guesses wrong, everyone on the team takes a sip! You can make categories like movies, celebrities, or funny phrases that are specific to your group.
Players: Ideal for 4 or more people.
Game Length: Around 20–30 minutes per game, but it’s easy to play multiple rounds.
13. Musical Shots
How to Play: Think musical chairs, but instead of chairs, you have a circle of shot glasses (or small drinks). Play some music, and everyone walks around the table. When the music stops, everyone must grab a shot and drink it. Keep playing until everyone’s had a turn. For extra fun, mix up the “shots” with things like sips of water or juice to keep everyone guessing!
Players: Works well with 4 or more people.
Game Length: Each round lasts just a few minutes, so it’s great for quick bursts of fun throughout the night
14. Drunk Pictionary
How to Play: Just like the classic Pictionary, but with a fun twist! Split into two teams and take turns drawing words or phrases on a whiteboard or notepad for your team to guess. The catch? If your team can’t guess within a minute, the drawer takes a sip! You can add themes like “girls’ night” or “funny phrases” to make it even more personal and hilarious.
Players: Best with 4 or more people.
Game Length: Around 20–30 minutes, or as long as everyone’s feeling creative!
15. Wine Tasting Challenge
How to Play: For a classy (and tasty) twist, do a blind wine tasting! Each person brings a bottle of wine (red, white, or sparkling) wrapped in foil to hide the label. Set up tasting cups, and have everyone sample the wines, rating them on taste, aroma, and guessing the type. Whoever guesses the most accurately gets bragging rights (and maybe an extra sip)!
Players: 3 or more people.
Game Length: About 30–45 minutes, perfect for relaxing and savoring each sip.
16. DIY Cocktail Contest
How to Play: Time to get creative behind the bar! Split into pairs or small teams, and have each team create their own signature cocktail using ingredients you have on hand. Once everyone’s ready, each team presents their drink to the group, explaining the inspiration and name behind it. Everyone samples, votes on their favorite, and the winning team gets crowned the “Mixology Masters” of the night!
Players: Ideal for 4 or more people.
Game Length: Around 45 minutes to an hour, but the fun is in the taste-testing and creativity.
17. Movie Drinking Game
How to Play: Pick a favorite movie or TV show with the group and make a list of cues that mean everyone takes a sip—like a certain character catchphrase, a dramatic scene, or a funny moment that always happens. For example, if you’re watching a rom-com, sip whenever there’s an awkward encounter or a big romantic gesture. It’s a low-key way to keep the laughs going and makes the movie even more entertaining!
Players: Any size group.
Game Length: As long as the movie or episode lasts (usually around 1–2 hours).
18. Dress-Up Challenge
How to Play: Embrace a theme and add a playful, creative twist to the night by picking an “over-the-top” dress-up challenge. It could be ‘80s night, red carpet glam, or your favorite character look. Each person arrives in costume, and everyone votes on the most creative, funniest, or best-dressed. The winner could get a special prize or extra sips of their favorite drink!
Players: Any size group.
Game Length: The challenge lasts the entire night, so it’s a fun ongoing theme!
