Official DO or Drink Rules
Do or Drink is a quick and social game that can liven up any party. However, due to its alcohol consumption element, it's important to be aware of safe drinking practices and ensure everyone playing is of legal drinking age. Here's a breakdown of the rules:
Objective
Complete the dares (Do) or take a drink (Drink) based on the card drawn. The goal is to avoid drinking excessively while having fun and completing challenges.
Number of Players: 3 or more players
Components:
Deck of cards (standard deck or cards with "Do or Drink" written on them)
Drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic depending on the preference of the players)
Setup
1. Separate the deck (optional): If you're using a standard deck, separate the black cards from the red cards. Black cards can be "Do" cards and red cards can be "Drink" cards. If you have a deck specifically designed for "Do or Drink," shuffle them all together.
2. Decide on a starting player: You can choose the youngest or oldest player, or simply have someone volunteer to go first.
Gameplay
1. Draw a card: The first player draws a card from the deck and reads it aloud.
