Bachelor Party Drinking Games

If you have more of a wild crowd, you will want to plan some bachelor party drinking games. Remember to stick with the wishes of the groom. If he is a drinker and approves of drinking games, then you have to go ahead to include alcohol and drinking games in the bachelor party plans.

Following are some suggestions for the most popular drinking games for bachelor parties.

Drunken Jenga

Everyone has most certainly played Jenga before, if not Drunken Jenga. All you need is the Jenga board game consisting of wooden blocks. And alcohol, of course!

Assemble the Jenga tower by stacking the wooden blocks in the classic Jenga tower formation.

1. Gather your friends into teams or groups of 2-4 people. If you have a large crowd, set up multiple Jenga games simultaneously with their own towers.
2. Each player takes turns to carefully remove one wooden block from the Jenga tower and then places it back on top without causing the tower to collapse.
3. If the tower falls during your turn, you’re the “loser” for that round.
4. To make it more entertaining and perhaps a bit tipsy, prepare a “trash can punch” communal glass. Each participant pours a shot or two of their chosen alcoholic beverage into this communal glass. You might end up with a mix of different drinks, creating a unique concoction!
5. The player who causes the tower to tumble is the “loser” of the round and has to face the consequences. Their task is to chug the entire glass of “trash can punch.”

Shot Roulette

All you need for this drinking game is a roulette wheel and multiple shot glasses.

1. You would fill each shot glass with a different type of booze (ie: whiskey, rum, gin and so forth).
2. You then place the shot glasses on the roulette wheel.
3. Each guest at the bachelor party will then pick a number.
4. If the roulette wheel lands on their number they must drink the shot that corresponds with that number.

Loaded Kings

For this popular drinking game, you will need the deck of cards with the same name. And lots and lots of booze! Similar to the rules for Drunken Jenga, every player will pour some of their drink into a glass located in the center of the table.

You would then follow the directions per each card drawn. For example

1. King: pour your drink into the drink in the center
2. Heaven: everyone points to the sky, last person to do so drinks
3. Mate: Choose a person with whom to do a shot. (and so forth)
4. 4th King drawn: Player must drink the center drink thus ending the round.

If the weather cooperates you can also play outdoor bachelor party games such as cornhole or pub golf.
