Playing drinking games is actually very popular, especially in the US. Many bars organize tournaments in drinking games with cards, dice or darts where contestants are required to drink as a kind of punishment when the game is not played well. There are some games which are truly American, like Beer pong. The game includes ping-pong, plastic cups, and beer. Players try to throw the ball into the cup with beer diagonally across the table. The player who does not succeed must drink the beer from the cup. It is a simple game at first glance, but after a couple of beers, nobody can play it. If you enter a bar and see a table for ping-pong but nobody is actually playing the game with racquets, do not be surprised – they have equipment for Beer pong and nothing else.

At this point, it is necessary to emphasize the fact that drinking large amounts of alcohol frequently can be very dangerous and harmful for both your health and your friendship. People can be very aggressive when they are drunk and they might start arguing or even fighting. Additionally, if these people are involved in a kind of competition, it is even riskier, so it might be the best decision to play these games with people you already know. You usually know how these people behave when drinking alcohol, or if you are not sure, play these games somewhere you can ask for help if something goes wrong (in a bar, for example). You should also make sure that your opponent is perfectly healthy and does not have any drinking problems. These are interesting and exciting activities, so enjoy and have fun while playing. There is no need to argue, ask for explanations or new rules. Before you start, ask yourself – do you just want to get drunk or to have a nice evening with your friends? If the answer is to have a nice evening, then you can play these games. Otherwise, you might choose something else to satisfy your thirst for alcohol. Or perhaps ask a doctor for help, if the thirst continues.

We have asked blogs and sites for advice on the games which are good to play with a partner or a friend and we have finally made a list of 7 best drinking games without cards for 2 players. You can adjust them in accordance with your preferences, a certain occasion or your drinking habits. If you get tired of them, maybe you can try creating your own game, just for you and your friend. Remember, every game can become a drinking game, too. You just need an interesting friend, drinks and a safe place to play. And now, let’s see the list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players.

7. Fast questions

This is a very simple game and it can be played with two or more players, but usually, people play it in pairs at bars. At the beginning of the game, one of the players must ask a question. The other player must answer quickly with “yes” or “no”. In case he does not make it, he must drink his drink. The same punishment is given to those who laugh, hesitate or delay answering the question – it is helpful to make some rules, for example, define the time given for answering a question, usually 2-4 seconds. On the other hand, if the player who asks a question does not ask it properly, or does not know the answer himself, or asks the question that has already been asked, he must drink instead of his opponent. The game is not only interesting and funny, but it can also help people to get to know each other or check how well they know each other if they are already friends. And now, let’s see what else we have in our list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players.

6. Two truths- one lie

Like in the previous game, this is a perfect game for people who have known each other for a long time. At the beginning of this game, that ranks 6th in our list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players, one of the players says three statements, two of which are true and one is a lie. The other player needs to recognize true statements and the false one, which is not supposed to be difficult if people playing this game are friends.

Otherwise, the player giving statements has to drink.  If the statements given to the other player are not clear and easy to explain, the player who gives the statements has to drink.

5. Russian roulette

We are in the middle of the list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players, so it is time to say something about weapons. But, do not worry; there is no real weapon in this game, although it originates from a game played with guns where one of the players ends up dead at the end of the game. In this case, people play, drink, have fun and do not end up being dead. The game usually starts with a circle of small glasses filled with water and one glass of vodka (because of the transparent color of this drink and perhaps because of the origin of the game). One of the players picks a glass and drinks the liquid from it.  Every time a player risks drinking a whole glass of vodka, since it is impossible to make a difference between these two drinks in this way. After this first stage, the players fill two glasses with vodka and the rest of them with water. The glasses should be mixed so that none of the players can recognize glasses with vodka.  Finally, it should be a circle made of the glasses with vodka and only one or two with water, so practically both players get drunk.

4. Power hour

People say that this game number 4 in our list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players is perfect for a group of old friends, but it can be perfect for those who have just met in a bar, too. The game is very simple. The players need to drink 60 shots of beer for 60 minutes (an hour). The time when the players drink is connected with music, so when a song or a refrain starts, the players must have their drinks. If you are not sure how to choose music for this game, simply find a special mix on YouTube. Do not worry about how much you need to drink. It turns out to be 6-7 glass of beer, which people usually drink in a bar at weekends. But, more important is the fact that players talk, laugh, make jokes and finally share some secrets within this hour, since they get drunk as the game proceeds. Young people play this game before a party, to prepare for it.

3. Trust or dare (or drink)

Do you know that simple game where people stand in a circle and tease each other by asking awkward questions and expecting true answers or they give each other tasks to complete instead of answering? Everybody should choose what is easier to them. While some people find answering these questions unpleasant and accept completing whatever task is needed instead, other people prefer answering a question to doing something humiliating. We can change this game and involve drinking as an appropriate punishment for not completing any of these two tasks, so in the end, you are the one who decides whether to go home drunk or not. And now, let’s see the top two entries in our list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players.

2. I’m going a picnic

We are continuing our list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players with the game number 2 – people love this game and that is for sure! It is a perfect game for the sober, too. At the beginning of the game, one of the players says a sentence: “I’m going a picnic…” and the ending he or she chooses to start a story.

The player who skips something or forgets what comes next must have his drink. Can you imagine what this game is like after a few shots?

1. Never have I ever…

You know that this sentence is usually a beginning of confessions, so this is another game where people get to know each other by making questions and having confessions. It is even better if you play it with your friends, because you usually cannot be tricked by being told a lie. One of the players says “Never have I ever…” and adds something about his life, like played the piano, or visited Ohio, for example. If the other player has done that activity before, the first player must drink; otherwise, the second player must drink. So, this is another reason why you should know your opponent, since it is much easier to make him drink. That fact has given this game a special place on the list of best drinking games without cards for 2 players.
