    Unironically this is my first thought when I really learnt the rules of drinking games. I thought “people like to drink but you drink when you lose???”

    Yes I am great at parties why do you ask?

      That’s why I like drinking games that punish the winner, it’s a self balancing effect! In college we used to do fighting game nights and winner kept playing and did a shot. Pretty quickly everyone got to a similar skill level

        We did something similar with smash brothers in college, and once we got too drunk to play we would pick NPCs to fight and bet shots on them

          Unfortunately I have a friend who gets a Smash Bros buff from being drunk. It’s crazy, I watched him get 3 stocked, take 3 shots, and then not lose a single life round after round.

      that’s how you know whether it’s an american or european drinking game. my theory is that it’s a religion thing

      Yeah, this ends up with one person getting progressively more wasted as the night goes on while the others are barely buzzed. I watched it happen to people many times while I was in college

      the only drinking game i understand is “let’s watch a terrible movie and drink everything some specific dumb thing happens”, that’s inherently fun with friends and just gets funnier and funnier as everyone becomes borderline delirious
