How to Play?
Before beginning the game, players have to first form 2 teams and line up on the opposite directions of the table.
The game is played as a head-to-head race between the players of opposite teams. Once the toast is given, the game beings from one end of the table and players who are standing opposite to each other start chugging their beers and race.
A referee or a third person not belonging to any team can help detect the winner with much clarity. It will also be helpful to make sure that both the players of the opposite teams chug their beers starting at the same time. On the referee’s call players can start chugging their drinks.
As soon as the players finish their beer cups, they have to place them on the table such that the lip of the cup hangs a little over the edge of the table. Then they players have to flip their cups 180 degrees such that the cups stand straight on the table.
Players can use their index finger to flip the cup from the lip of the cup that hangs on the edge of the table. After flipping the cup successfully, the next player in the line will begin their turn by starting to chug their beer and then flipping the cup in the same way the first player did.
The game continues in the same fashion until all the players finish their drinks and flip the cups. The team who first manages to finish their drinks and flip the cups is the winning team.
