Inside: Best New Years drinking games to play for 2023.

New Year’s Eve is the holiday to end all holidays, for the year at least. This is the time when everyone thinks of what they want to achieve in the next year, and they set their resolutions. Most goals are to get healthy, so New Years’ eve is your last night to go big and enjoy yourself.

And what is the best way to do that? Drinking games. 

Everyone knows that for adults, New Year’s Eve is the night to get drunk with your friends. You have an excuse to socialize until the witching hour, and you must take advantage of it.

New Years Drinking Games to Bring in the New Year 

So to help you have the best New Year’s ever, I have compiled some of my favorite trendy New Years’ drinking games to help you bring in 2023 the right way.

Just remember to drink plenty of water; you don’t want to wake up with a hangover.

Simple New Years Adult Game Ideas

When drinks are involved, sometimes the simplest games are the best option. We don’t want to set up a beer Olympics course after all…

This way, as you continue to play them through the night, you can actually remember how to play. I think that the only thing worse than a complex game is a complex drinking game. So Check out these ideas and pick a few to include at your party!

1. String Pull Shot Game – For this game, you have no idea what your sting is connected to until you pull it. Then you have to drink whatever shot it has on the other end. Good luck!

2. Left Right Drinking Game – This is better known as the dice drinking game. It’s really simple and lots of fun. You can make a simple instructions sheet like these people did to help you remember the rules when you are on round 

3. Let’s Get Messed Up DIY Game – DIY drinking board games are my new obsession. I love a good deal, and this game has both cheap prices and great quality, so it is a win-win. 

4. Cup Flip Shot Mover – You better be good at cup flip for this game. Otherwise, you can’t be on my team. I am all about winning!

5. Cup Balancing Act – This game is better suited for the beginning of the night; I just can’t imagine even being able to set this up if I was drunk. 

6. Beer Tap – Tik Tok really is the best for coming up with new games, plus they show you how to play it first hand. Got to love the clock app!

7. Bottle Spin Shot Roulette – Shot roulette is quickly becoming a classic. Take a look at this video to see exactly how it works.

8.  Flip Cup Tape Tac Toe – Yes, I said tape tac toe.

9. Shots for the King – This game seems so fun. I think I am going to have to add this to my next party. 

10. Sink it and Drink It – This one has me on the edge of my seat just watching it; I couldn’t imagine how fun this would be to be able to play it first hand. Fun and stressful. I would be sweating.

11. Text or Drink – Oof, this one is hard for those of you out there who have exes. I am telling you right now, delete their number. Save yourself!

12. Black out or Back out – If the name wasn’t already funny and punny enough, the game itself is even better. Take a look to see how this works.

13. Drink, Drank, Drunk – Glad we all took our English grammar classes. 

14. Tape Square Shot Push – This game is super fun, but before you ask why they had to put tape like that on a table that was already a checkerboard…I want to say it’s because they needed it to be easier to see where it should go?

15. Card Stack Vs Wind – For this game, you have a stack of cards sitting on top of a bottle of liquor. Each player has to go and blow on the stack of cards until a card falls off. The person to knock off the last card has to take a shot. Blow lightly!
