Games are fun. You know what’s even more fun? Games that involve drinking. That’s right. We’re talking about unabashedly fun drinking games, baby. Games so fun that somebody somewhere (we’d love to find out the name of this quintessential American genius-legend) at last declared “Hey! Let’s keep this party going! Let’s keep playing the same drinking games that we did when we were younger, but just call them ‘Adult Drinking Games’!”

At Gallantry Headquarters, we’ve definitely got our favorites when it comes to these drinking games, so obviously we’re sharing how we play them with you. So if you’re ready to get into some of these classics at your next house party (or wherever), organize that perfect playlist, bring out those rager lights, and get ready to start yelling extremely obnoxious things out loud as you beat your chest (and liver) and pound that friggin’ sauce…

Welcome to the Gallantry party, pal!

BOTTOMS UP, BABY!

“GALL-AN-TRY! GALL-AN-TRY! GALL-AN-TRY!”

First up? You already know what time it is. It’s time for some…

“So are we going to play Circle of Death or what? I was promised a Gallantry Man party for the record books and I expect a prompt delivery.”

CIRCLE OF DEATH

Unlike other, perhaps more “accessible” (a.k.a. “soft”) drinking games, Circle of Death not only gets you straight-up hammered, but it also works as an effective method of sussing out which of your compadres truly has the stamina to call themselves a bro king.

The rules here are simple enough. Grab the largest, most obscene bottle of sauce that you can find, get in a circle with everyone claiming to be a party legend, and start taking those swigs! Continue to swig and pass (that bottle) around the circle. One by one the weakest links in your chain will begin to expose themselves by either tapping out or blowing chunks. The last man (or woman) standing? That’s your winner, baby! For the rest of the night, all the losers must treat said winner accordingly.

Them the rules!

“Dude. We’re getting whooped in this game of beer pong. What are you thinking? Any tips for winning in that last Gallantry article you forwarded me? I’m too drunk to remember right now.”

BEER PONG

This drinking game classic involves two teams of two people standing at the opposite ends of a beer pong table. Once each team has arranged ten Solo® 18 oz Plastic Party Cups in a pyramid in front of them and filled them with beer, it’s on.

The goal here is to take turns throwing or bouncing your ping-pong ball into one of the cups belonging to the opposing team. When you land your ping-pong ball in a cup, an opposing member has to drink it before you get another go. When you miss, it’s automatically the other team’s turn. The first team to eliminate all the cups? That’s the A-Team, baby!

“YES! I’m so glad we got the upper-hand by taking Gallantry’s beer pong tips seriously!”

If you’re not a pong natural, keep in mind that you can make up for some of that absent talent by being great at talking trash and/or psyching out. Both are important elements of beer pong, and you’re allowed to participate in them as a means of breaking your opponent’s concentration. A nice mix of sick burns and classic psych out moves (like pulling out that all-natural everyday carry known as your ballbag and dropping it on the friggin’ pong table) is a great way to get your opponents to shoot and miss in humiliating fashion.

CLASSIC!

Flip Flip Flipadelphia! On It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Paddy’s gang takes their Flip Cup game very, very seriously, perhaps never more so than when they’re eligible to compete in Flipadelphia , a citywide flip cup tournament, for the first time in ten years (after being banned, of course).

FLIP CUP

Once you’ve assembled the most legendary partiers in your midst, promptly split yourselves up into two teams, each one on opposite sides of a nice, lengthy table. Once every player has filled a single Solo® 18 oz Plastic Party Cup with beer and placed it in front of them, it’s go-time. A member from each team proceeds to chug their cup as fast as humanely possible (to completion) and flip it (via placing it opening side up at the edge of the table and flicking it with one finger or hand) until it lands face down on the table. As soon as the first team member in line successfully completes their chug and flip, it’s on to the next one until an entire side of the table has finished. The fast champions of the winning side may then point and laugh at the slow amateurs of the losing side.

Forget The Dear Hunter. Have you ever played “The Beer Hunter”?

THE BEER HUNTER

If you’ve ever seen The Deer Hunter, you’re familiar with Russian Roulette, a deadly game in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins its cylinder, places the muzzle against his head, and pulls the trigger. If one of the empty chambers aligns with the barrel, the player obviously lives to see another round. If it’s the loaded chamber that aligns with the barrel, it’s light’s out.

Frat star and pledge master Dwight Stifler (Steve Talley) pays tribute to The Deer Hunter with a similarly inspired game called “Greek Roulette” in the 2007 film American Pie Presents: Beta House.

Thankfully, The Beer Hunter does not need to be a game of life or death (though, if we’re being honest, it’s up there in terms of sheer intensity). Have a random person nearby shake the living s*** out of a can of beer and mix it in with a couple of other cans (there should be one can of beer per partier at the drinking game table) so that no player can see what’s what. Grab a can, hold it against your head, and pop open the tab. If you get the hot can, congrats. If not, get to work chugging that whole can. Repeat as long you and fellow partiers can handle the action (ideally until the poor bastard of the group passes the f out).

“Let’s play Edward Fortyhands!”

EDWARD FORTYHANDS

There are many variations of this epic drinking game, but the simple version requires that participants tightly duct-tape two 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor to their hands (one for each hand) and chug until all 80 ounces have been thoroughly consumed (at which point they may remove all tape).

Like Edward Scissorhands…but with forties.

The first “Edward” to finish, the winner, can flaunt that victory status by taunting the other Edwards until they also finish their forties.

“I know that you got your drinking game EDC for from Gallantry. Come back to my place and I’ll show you how cool I think that is, Gallantry Man legend.”

All this talk about drinking games is really making us want to frickin’ party. We’re sure it’s making you want to as well. However, we’re going to shoot you straight here. Not having the right drinking game EDC on your person when you show up to a rager? Well, that’s pretty much the definition of busch league.

Enter the good news. You, thankfully, have absolutely nothing to worry about. You’re a Gallantry Man and being unprepared is simply not an option for you. Ever. With the following everyday carry drinking-related products on your person, you’ll be ready to show the world that when it comes to partying, nobody gets the job done better than a Gallantry Man legend.

Now let’s take a look at the goods…

“Are you not entertained at this Gallantry Man party?! Bauhaus MO.25 Stone Tumbled Titanium Bottle Openers from Handgrey for everyone!”

THE BAUHAUS MO.25 TITANIUM BOTTLE OPENER

FROM HANDGREY

Staatliches Bauhaus was a German Art School that emphasized a single principle: objects should serve society and have no distinction between form and function. As such, it’s no surprise that Handgrey has modeled everything in its Bauhaus collection after that very same principal.

The MO.25 is the smallest M-series bottle opener made by Handgrey, but its minuscule stature does not sacrifice its functionality in any way. This bottle opener will always be tough enough to get the job, but it will never crowd your keychain.

We’ll double cheers to that.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Miniaturized bottle opener
• TI6A-4V grade 5 squared titanium
• Unobtrusive size without sacrificing functionality
• 1.35" L x 0.41" W x 0.22" D
