St. Patrick’s Day Drinking Games: Green Beer Pong and More
The best St. Patrick’s Day drinking games go green: beer pong with green cups and a gold “pot of gold” cup in the middle, Lucky Kings, flip cup, and the pinch rule all day for anyone not wearing green. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17. Here’s the plan.
| When | Game | The twist |
|---|---|---|
| All day | The pinch rule | Not wearing green? Everyone gets to call it on you once, and you drink. |
| Afternoon | Green beer pong | Green food coloring in the water cups, plus a pot-of-gold cup |
| Evening | Lucky Kings | 7s are lucky: draw one and you hand out three sips |
| Late | Flip cup | Most green on vs. least green on |
Green beer pong
- Go green: a drop of green food coloring in each water cup. It looks great and nobody has to drink green beer.
- Pot of gold: swap the center cup for a gold one. Sink it and you pull a bonus cup. It replaces the bitch cup for the day.
- Luck of the Irish: a ball that rims out twice and still drops in counts double.
- Four-leaf clover: the first player to call an island and make it gets a second island call.
Lucky Kings
Play Circle of Death as normal, with one swap: 7 is lucky. Draw one and you hand out three sips, any way you want.
Pace yourself
St. Patrick’s Day starts early and runs late. Keep pours small, eat something that isn’t green, and know how you’re getting home. Leprechauns don’t drive.
Set up the house
- Post the rules: build them with the house rules builder, or hang a House Rules sign.
- Running a tournament? Make it in 30 seconds with the bracket generator.
- Food out, water on every table, and rides home sorted before the first game.
