When you’re looking for outdoor activities with your friends at a get-together, why not combine two of the best things: drinking and games? It can be a great way to have some fun, and you can also work up an appetite while enjoying your favorite beverages.
There are plenty of outdoor drinking games that you can play while hanging out with your friends. These are a few ideas to get you started.
Cornhole
Cornhole—also known as bean bag toss—is one of the best outdoor drinking games. All you need is two boards with a hole cut in each and eight beanbags in two different colors, traditionally red and blue.
Learning the cornhole rules is simple. Two teams take turns throwing the beanbags onto their opponent’s board. Each team earns points based on how many bags they get in the hole and how close they get to the board. The first team to reach 21 points wins! This game can be even more interesting by adding a drinking consequence; when someone gets a bag in the hole, they must take another drink.
Beer Pong
Beer pong is another classic outdoor drinking game. All you need is a long table and some plastic beer cups. You can fill up the cups with your favorite beverage and line them up on opposite sides of the table.
The rules for beer pong are like cornhole: two teams take turns trying to throw a ping-pong ball into their opponent’s cups. The other team has to drink that cup if they get it in. The first team to run out of cups loses the game. You can customize this game by adding rules such as bouncing or shooting multiple balls at once, making it even more fun.
Golf Tic-Tac-Toe
This outdoor drinking game combines two classic games—golf and tic-tac-toe—into one. You only need a golf course and nine cups filled with your favorite drinks. Each player takes turns hitting their ball onto the green, trying to get it into their opponent’s cup. The first person to make three in a row wins!
Whether you’re hosting a party or just having some drinks outside, these outdoor drinking games are sure to make things more exciting! So grab your friends, head outside, and enjoy some classic summertime fun—just remember to remain safe and drink responsibly.
