6 Drinking Games That Are Safe To Play With Parents

The season of Parents Weekend is upon us once again. Many of us have seen the numerous pictures posted by college accounts of parents at tailgates, immersing themselves in our college culture-and for that Moms and Dads, we applaud you. The world has its fair share of drinking games, but when it comes to drinking games that are appropriate to play with the people who raised us, we're sure to hit more than a few duds. So to save everyone some precious time, I've put together a list of games that allow everyone to ~rage with some respect~.


First thing's first-the classics.

Beer Pong

It's a no brainer. Think about it like the grown up version of playing h-o-r-s-e with your family. Plus, it's a solid way to get a little friendly competition started. If you don't know how to play, it's about time you do. The rules are simple, and you can get a full list of them here.

Flip Cup

Flip Cup is another classic that's bringing home the gold in the realm of family friendly drinking games. It brings out the competitive edge in everyone, and really there's nothing like trying to down beer faster than your dad, and cheering on your mom while she frantically tries to flip a solo cup on the dining room table. If you're a little blurry on the rules, you can double check them here.


Quarters

Quarters is similar to flip cup in that it has the same sense of urgency and it can be just as frustrating. On the upside, you can prove to your siblings that just because you weren't athletic growing up, doesn't mean that you can't totally own them when it comes to getting a quarter in a cup. There's a few different ways to play the game, pick your poison here.


Next, the more complicated games.

Waterfall

Waterfall is a game of chance, and every card you pick is sure to be promising in adding to the atmosphere this game creates. Each card is assigned a certain rule or task, but you can adjust them to what ever you prefer. You can check one version of the rules out here.


Ride the Bus

No, not the same bus you used to roll up in to middle school, this one is much more fun. The rules seem more complicated than they really are, but once you get the hang of them you'll be ready to play all night.


Presidents and A$$holes

This one is golden. The player's ranking is determined by how quickly they can use all of their cards. President is the highest and I'm sure you can figure out what the lowest is. Whoever is in a higher ranking than you can boss you around AKA it's your time to get revenge on your siblings for all the things they did to bully you growing up. Don't delay playing this game any longer.


Family game nights just got taken to a new level.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
