This is a quick, be on the ball, witty drinking game which you can play anywhere, anytime. To begin, you and your drinking friends must be beside a television, radio (maybe not a car radio while drinking and driving), smart phone, laptop or computer to be able to play this drinking game.
Play:
Step 1
As mentioned previously this game can be played anywhere, anytime where someone is talking. Whether this speaking voice is funneled through a radio, new favorite television show, smart phone, a new movie, recorded lecture (not seen), or a group of friends where only one person is talking.
Notice how ‘new’ was noted on a few of these ‘voice’ speaking examples. An important moral component to this game is that we do not want previously watched cheating. Why cheat on simple fun drinking games anyways. Do not have to worry about a radio announcer, their speech will be always new.
Step 2
Let us try some examples.
Example 1
Movie –
Brad Pitt. “I will always (er)….”. Right at that ‘er’ moment everyone playing must guess what his next word or phrase will be before he does say what is written for him on the script. You only have a few seconds to guess.
Guess examples:
– try
– be there
– love you
– kill kittens
– etc.
Example 2
Radio announcer. “Tragedy has hit the town of Cynthia. The culprits were in a ‘ummm’.” Right at that ‘ummm’ moment everyone must guess what his next word or phrase will be.
Guess examples:
– car
– truck
– frenzy
– tiff
– sexual rampage
– etc.
Step 3
The first right answer from the participants gets to appoint a drink, and how much to drink to whoever he chooses.
Sort of an addictive game. Pretty soon you find yourself filling-in with people’s hesitating speech everywhere.
Conclusion:
A way to look at this game is like when someone stutters you always want to verbally fill in the word he is trying to say before he finishes.
Have fun. Cheers!
