Centurian Drinking Game Rules
- Starting the Game:
- Set up a timer or stopwatch to keep track of the minutes. An audible signal every minute helps.
- All players start with a filled shot glass.
- Taking Shots:
- At the start of every minute, each player takes a shot of beer.
- This continues every minute on the minute.
- Counting the Shots:
- Keep track of the number of shots. This can be done by the timer calling out the number or by players keeping a personal count.
- Continuing the Challenge:
- Players continue to take a shot of beer every minute until they reach 100 shots.
- The challenge lasts for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
- Completing the Game:
- The game ends when a player has successfully consumed 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes or when they choose to stop.
Strategy Tips
- Pace Yourself: It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Be mindful of how the alcohol is affecting you as the game progresses.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water in between shots can help manage the effects of the alcohol.
Safety and Considerations
- Drink Responsibly: This game involves consuming a significant amount of alcohol. Know your limits and don’t feel pressured to complete the challenge if it’s too much.
- Safety First: Have a plan for how everyone will get home safely after the game, such as designated drivers or rideshares.
Customization
- Adjust the Challenge: If 100 shots seem too much, consider doing a “Half Centurion” (50 shots in 50 minutes) or a similar variation.
