Ride The Bus Drinking Game

Ride The Bus Drinking Game

Ride the bus drinking game is one of my personal go-to games to get things started. One night I was chilling with a buddy and all we had to drink was kraken rum. For anyone that hasn’t had kraken rum the taste is pretty rough and has a high alcohol percentage. We each did a shot and we both agreed we needed to amp each other up to drink the full forty of the harsh liquor. My buddy recommended we play the ride the bus drinking game and instead of beer you normally use to play we would take shots of the kraken. I don’t recommend it. Beer is far better suited to ride the bus.

Ride The Bus Drinking Game Rules

All you need to play the classic ride the bus drinking game is a deck of cards and beer (or any alcohol of your choice). Deal the cards by asking a series of 4 questions or simply deal each player 4 cards. If the player gets the answer wrong, they drink. However you decide to do it, each player should have 4 cards at the end.

  • Red or black?
  • High or low?
  • In between or outside?
  • Pick a suit.

Using the deck of cards set up a pyramid in the center, face down; the bottom row has five, next four, all the way up to one. The objective of the game is to get rid of all of your cards else, you could end up riding the bus. Flip the pyramid over starting with the bottom row. At this point everyone can get rid of any matching cards and assign drinks accordingly. When a player has a card in his or her hand that matches the card flipped over in the pyramid he can assign drinks. The drinks can be given to one person or split up depending on how many people are playing.

  • First row – assign one drink per matching card.
  • Second row – assign two drinks per matching card.
  • Third row – assign three drinks per matching card.
  • Fourth row – assign four drinks per matching card.
  • Fifth row – assign five drinks per matching card.

Playing this game with hard liquor is not advisable because taking five shots in a row can knock you out pretty quickly. Your ride the bus drinking game will come to a screeching halt. Whoever has the most cards left at the end of the ride the bus drinking game must ride the bus as the name implies. If there is more than one player with the most cards, both players ride the bus or draw a card to break the tie.

To ride the bus, a player must shuffle and lay down eight to ten cards in a line. Cards are then revealed one at a time. This is where ride the bus drinking game gets interesting. If the card drawn is two to ten, the player does not have to drink and nothing really happens. If the player draws any of the face cards below, an appropriate number of drinks must be consumed accordingly.

  • Jack – one drink
  • Queen – two drinks
  • King – three drinks
  • Ace – four drinks

All these rules can get confusing. The cheatsheet below makes it easy to follow. You can download the Free Ride the Bus Drinking Game Cheatsheet as a PDF here as well.

Beer Bong Rules

Beerbong for two person drinking games

Beerbong: How to master this drinking game

Beerbong, it’s an activity that is a rite of passage for almost every college kid on the planet. If you do it the right way, you’ll be looked at as a God in the eyes of your peers. However, if you mess up, then you’ll end up being the one they laugh at for years to come. So, if you want to master this drinking game, here is a guide on what you need to do.

Master the Basics

The rules of beerbong, like with most drinking sports, are pretty simple. To play, you need drinking stuff like a large funnel with a plastic hose attached to it along with willing participants. Once you have those few items, then it’s time to play. What you do is fill the funnel with your favorite beer, holding the end of the hose at the same level of the funnel with your thumb placed over it so it doesn’t spill. Each person playing needs to take a turn and drink down all the beer without taking a break. If a person can’t do it or walks away, they lose. The person who wins is the person who not only drinks the most the fastest, but is able to keep all of it down.

Elevate Your Game

You might think that beerbong doesn’t require all that much skill, well, that’s actually where you’re wrong because there are different things that you can do to make your beer drinking technique better. For example, this is a game that is all about speed so don’t take little sips of the beer and instead, gulp it down as fast as possible. Sure, you might get a little messy, but it will be worth it when you get the win. Also, before you even begin drinking, take a deep breath to get in as much air as possible before so you don’t have to stop as often to breath while you’re drinking. Yes, breathing is essential to live, yet if you can get down on it during the game, the better off you’ll be. A final thing to do to improve your technique is to practice since practice makes perfect. You don’t have to practice with just beer either, you can use water or other flavored drinks to get you to the top.

Sport the Right Stuff

Now, if you’re going to take part in games for drinking like beerbong, you need to be prepared for it. That means, you need to have the right elite gear. It really does make a difference. For that reason, don’t make the mistake of trying to make your own beerbong from scratch due to the fact that you’ll probably end up with something that probably won’t work right. In place of ending up with a faulting drinking apparatus, turn to the professionals who make them for a living. By purchasing one that is already put together, you’ll get a beerbong that will always work right so you and your buddies can have a good time. The things to look for when getting one include getting one that has quality craftsmanship, the size of it since you want to get one that isn’t too big or too small, and buying one that is made out of sturdy materials that won’t break.

Drink Responsibly

Whenever you drink, one thing that you need to keep in mind is to drink responsibly. Why? You don’t want anyone to get hurt and that goes for any kind of drinking whether it’s using beer stuff when taking part in games for drinking or just going out to the bars with friends. You don’t want to get too over-the-top so make sure you set your limits and stick to them.

Gear Up

If you’re ready to play some serious beerbong, then make sure to get a new one for your parties with friends. Or, maybe you’re looking to play beerpong, which is an equally exciting drinking game using Ping-Pong balls and to find out more about both, check out the different products on this website. They all offer you a great way for you and your friends to have a good time.

How To Play Beer Pong

Beerpong - Two Person Drinking Games

How to Handle Balls Lika a Boss

Drinking games are a great way to loosen up and engage your fellow barsity athletes. Beerpong is perhaps one of the most popular drinking games around so learning a few critical pong skills delivers a bouquet of sweet social benefits.

Ball Handling for Beginners

Mastering beerpong starts with an understanding of the basics, as well as, a few finer points of sportsmanship. Before you tackle the nuts and bolts of the game like a true champ let’s review a few finer points of expected courtesy. Always remember to start the contest with a clean set of balls. If you can’t remember where your balls have been the night before give them a courtesy scrub before to pull them out on game day. You don’t want to be regarded as the one with dirty balls because that’s a label no amount of bleach can shake.

Now that the public service announcement is out of the way let’s get back to the nuts and bolts before they get cold. Like any worthwhile sportsmanlike contest, beerpong is played between two opposing teams. Typically each of the two teams consists of at least two players. Gone are the days when you sat around and played with your balls all by your lonesome. As you will soon discover, a little company makes all the difference.

The teams stand on opposite ends of a rectangular table and each team is given 5 partially filled cups of beer. The cups are arranged in a triangular shape as shown in the image above. Each team takes a turn skillfully tossing or bouncing their balls, one player at a time, into the opposing team’s cups. If you get your ball into one of the cups, the opposing team has to drink the contents of that cup and take it off the table. The winning team simply gets all the other team’s cups off the table. Sounds simple enough but if you have ever handled a ball or two in your time, you know it is much harder than it looks.

Beerpong Mastery

A Jedi like mastery of the game can’t be gained without some time on the court. Developing critical muscle memory is perhaps the first skill you should aim to acquire. Diligent practice is the only way to get there but your liver has limits so it’s usually best to keep your practices dry for the first little while. Wet balls are far more fun to play with but that’s not always the best way to develop the essential ball handling skills. You don’t always have to practice with others either. You’re a busy goal driven individual so coordinating practices with other like minded athletes might prove frustrating. Instead, always carry your balls with you and spare no opportunity to toss them about with Jedi-like precision. It won’t take long before you find yourself tossing your balls with masterful elegance to the envy of athletes and spectators alike.

Lastly, much like any worthy athletic contest, true mastery of this sport does not cease in the physical realm. Unfortunately, a true grasp of the psychological side of ball handling mastery falls far beyond the scope of this introductory article so like us on Facebook and we’ll keep you posted on any follow up articles.
