Here’s a guide on how to play the Mexico drinking game.

What You Need To Play Mexico

1. Dice: Two standard six-sided dice.
2. Alcohol: Typically beer or a drink of choice for each player.
3. A Table: For players to sit around and roll the dice.

Number of Players

• Any number of players: Suitable for small to large groups.

Mexico Drinking Game Rules

1. Rolling the Dice:
   • Players take turns rolling the two dice.
   • The player must call out their score, calculated as follows:
     • The higher number is taken as the tens digit, and the lower as the ones digit (e.g., a roll of 6 and 4 is 64).
     • Rolling doubles scores 100 times the number (e.g., double 6’s score 600).
2. Announcing Scores:
   • Each player must remember their score and announce it at the end of their turn.
   • If a player rolls the dice off the table, they drink three-quarters of a glass (a penalty known as “Bermuda”).
   • If a player forgets to say their number before the next player rolls, they must drink half a glass.
3. Special Rule – Mexico:
   • If someone rolls a 2 and a 1, they shout “Mexico!”
   • This doubles the amount of alcohol that has to be consumed that round, and it stacks with multiple “Mexico” calls.
4. Drinking Penalties:
   • At the end of a round, the player with the lowest number has to drink half a glass of beer.
   • If a player forgets their number, they also drink half a glass.
5. Doubles Rule:
   • If a player rolls doubles, they can distribute sips to other players equal to one of the dice (e.g., rolling 300 allows giving out 3 sips).
6. End of the Game:
   • The game doesn’t have a predefined end; players can stop playing whenever they decide.

Player Safety

• Drink Responsibly: It’s essential to know your limits and not to overconsume alcohol. The game should not lead to excessive drinking.
• Non-Alcoholic Options: To make the game inclusive, consider using non-alcoholic beverages for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
• Transportation: If you’ve been drinking, use services like Lyft for a safe ride home.
