Up first we have 'Barely Sober Bocce Ball'. Normally the way this game is played is whoever's ball is closest to the Pallino at the end of the round receives a point. Once a person or team has accumulated a specified amount of points, they win. Additional points are also received if a person or team's ball is touching the Pallino at the end of everyone's throw. The way we turn this into a raging, loud, drunk game of Bocce is by tweaking the house rules so that the point system gets thrown out the window, and drinking is appointed according to distance from the Pallino. Example: Winner of the round (closest to the Pallino) is safe and doesn't need to drink, next closest chugs their drink according to how far away their ball is from the Pallino. Again, house rules determine the drinking:distance ratio but generally a good rule is that for each inch in between the ball and the Pallino the person or team drinks for that same measurement in time. Off by 10 inches chug for 10 seconds etc. Also if at the end of the round someone is touching the Pallino, the other team or players must chug a beer.
Next is an indoor classic that becomes more challenging outdoors when battling elements such as the wind, sun in your eye(s), and overall lack of focus due to girls in bikinis watching. Anyone who's been to university or college has played this, the legendary game of Beer Pong. You may be thinking this is a dumb addition as it only requires you to move the table outside, however, even better than regular Beer Pong outside is Water Pong. For anyone that has a cottage, is going to a friend's cottage, has a pool, or is going to a friend's pool, this game should be included in the festivities and is worth the investment. Basically you will need a floating table, same rules apply, depending on how you play. I've provided a picture with the basic idea of what you're looking for and even have links for where you may be able to find such a contraption.
Last but not least we have Beersbee. This game is relatively new and to be honest I haven't played it yet, however this is about to change. In case you're already drunk and couldn't put it together, Beersbee is a combination of Beer and Frisbee. This game ensures you always have a beer in hand, and requires one to focus their motor skills which become less and less prevalent as the game goes on. Essentially two poles are set up 40 feet apart from each other with a beer bottle/can balanced on top. 2 teams of 2 play at a time and must remain behind their pole, at which point players take turns trying to knock the opposite team's bottle off their pole. The rules - each player must have a beer in hand at all times, points are awarded as follows:
A) 1 point for the opposing team if the Frisbee misses your pole and you FAIL to catch the frisbee with a free hand.
B) 2 points for the opposing team if the Frisbee hits your pole and you FAIL to catch the beer with a free hand.
C) 3 points for the opposing team if you do not have a beer in hand or you drop your beer
Essentially there are 3 points up for grabs on any given Frisbee throw, but 0 can obviously be the outcome if poles are missed and Frisbees are catched. For the full list of rules follow this link:
beersbee for sure!!!
