Truth or Drink

This easy spin on the timeless game of “truth or dare” is perfect for couples. Whether you’re new to the relationship and just want to learn more about each other or seeking answers to the tough questions, this game lets you ask away with the power to opt for a drink instead of the truth. 

Drunk Twister

Though there’s many version of Twister drinking games, the typical version includes laying several shots out on the mat which must be consumed in order to utilize the spaces they occupy. To play with just two people, you won’t have a referee which means you simply take turns calling out colors and body parts instead of utilizing the spinner. This game is perfect for couples looking for some fun and an excuse to get close. 

Beer Pong

This classic party game can be easily played in just a pair. Go head to head and see who is the pong champ in the relationship. Win bragging rights and the pride of knowing you’re the superior half of the team the next time you hit up a real pong tournament. Be warned, if you and your partner are both competitive in nature, this may lead to several rematches and lots of drinking.

Jenga

If you haven’t already created a Jenga set drinking game, now is a perfect time. You and your partner cover the Jenga pieces in rules or tasks such as “chug for 10 seconds” or “finish your drink.” Feel free to get creative and use drawings or symbols to represent inside jokes, make it as clean or as dirty as you like. You can make a set you will want to reuse at parties or one just for the two of you. Then stack the pieces as normal, for each piece you remove you must complete the task on the piece. 

A one-on-one drinking game can be a great home date idea to save you a bit of money, and get you out of your comfort zone. Using games can be a fun way to get to know your significant other better or simply get physically closer.

If you’re not already a beer lover, trying different styles of beer is the best way to find out what you like and what you don’t. Even if you’re the type of person who claims to “hate” all beer, you might find that you’ll surprise yourself once you see that not all beer is the same. Or you’ll simply make some funny faces and make your friends laugh. 

Pick Out a Variety of Beers

You can choose whether you want to taste beer from one house or a few different breweries. Either way you’ll likely want to include a variety of beer types, as tasting an entire flight of pale ales for example might be a bit anticlimactic, as you’ll only be able to note subtle differences in taste.

Order Your Beer

Once you have all the beers, you will want to decide the tasting order. Typically beer tastings go from lightest to darkest. Pilsners are at the very low end of the spectrum, followed by Blondes and Pales. Then Ambers fall towards the middle of the spectrum, and stouts are at the end as the heaviest and darkest. If you’re confused about what order to place your beer in, you can always consult a reference chart.

Keep a Glass of Water Nearby

You’ll want to cleanse your palate between tasting each beer so as not to impair your taste buds. This is also why at tasting they typically offer you pretzels or nuts as a snack. Try taking a sip of water and eating a pretzel if you have some.

Use Small Servings

Remember a tasting is not supposed to consist of finishing a full beer. If you have small glasses use those, or just give a half pour if you’re using a full size glass. At the end feel free to go back and finish your favorites, but for the sake of the tasting try just a few sips of each beer.

It can be fun to do your tasting with friends or a partner to see their reactions to the different styles of beer. You can also keep a log of your favorite styles so you know what to order in the future. You might find your next favorite beer or figure out what it’s definitely not. Either way, a home beer tasting can be a fun way to recreate your favorite going out activity.

Spiked Seltzer

Poured into a glass spiked seltzer looks just like sparkling water, and it basically is just with a much higher ABV. If you’re trying to not draw attention to drinking on the clock, this is a great option.

Beer

Beer is the classic go to alcoholic drink of choice for many and works as a great anytime of day refreshment. Whether you opt for a pale ale or a stout, casually sipping on a beer is always a good move.

Wine

Your choice of wine can say a lot about your work from home mood. Sipping on Cabernet after lunch might be a little less drastic than chugging Pinot during your two pm meeting. Rosé is always a good option and may even brighten your spirits, after all the millennial pink drink is known for accompanying a fun and cheerful atmosphere.

Mixed Drinks

If you have the effort into fixing a cocktail or other mixed drink, then you probably have the effort to put into whatever you’re actually supposed to be doing. Still, the alcoholic option may seem like a much more productive use of time.

You’ll be happy to know you’re most likely not drinking alone. According to recent surveys, millions of Americans are drinking while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if you’re not doing shots on camera, many of your coworkers might be slipping some Bailey’s in their morning coffee. Some workplaces are even hosting virtual happy hour get togethers. So, raise your glass to your coworkers for a virtual cheers.

Stock Up

You can’t have a home bar without a variety of drinks. Make sure you have at least a few beers, some wine options, and all the hard alcohol necessary to make your favorite cocktails. You will also want to invest in some bar necessities like a drink shaker and the right glasses to level up your home creations. Consider rimming your glasses or even chilling them to add an extra touch.

Decorate Accordingly

You can’t have the perfect home bar without the right decor. Think about what makes up your favorite bar’s aesthetic. If you’re a dive bar lover, try looking for vintage or vintage-inspired signs to add to your home bar area. If you don’t have a huge “bar” area, consider getting a drink cart. 

Offer a Signature Drink

Print up your own menus, create your own drinks, use your imagination. This is the perfect opportunity to get creative and show off your bartending skills. What would be offered on tap at your dream bar? Whether it’s a craft beer or just a pitcher of Bud Light, this is your space to own the menu.

Blast the Playlist

We all know that music makes the atmosphere. Think about what type of music you love to hear when you go out. Create a dance-y mix or a more laid back soundtrack. Whatever your musical vibe is, embrace it. 

Though your home bar might not be quite the same as going out, it’s the perfect alternative to avoid crowds and still have a good time. Invite your friends over and impress them with your bartending skills. Or, simply enjoy your space in solitude. Either way, pour one out and let the party begin in the comfort of your own home.

Game Night

Invite all your friends to a virtual game night. Many rising platforms have been created to serve just this purpose. Play a virtual Cards Against Humanity style game called “Remote Insensitivity” as well as classics like “Crazy Eights” and “Go Fish” by inviting friends to a virtual room on PlayingCards.io. Houseparty offers a hosted video chat with games such as “Heads Up!” and “Quick Draw.” You can also check out Tabletop Simulator for virtual board games, just be warned sore losers have the option of “flipping the table” which ends the game. If you feel like it, you can always play a more traditional drinking game via video chat, or download one of many apps that allow users to play games together.

Trivia 

Host a trivia night for all your friends. Pick out the questions ahead of time and decide on categories. If your group enjoys it, consider rotating hosting duty weekly so everyone gets a chance to participate. You can also invite friends to submit facts about themselves and create a trivia quiz based around your friend group. Or add a drinking element requiring those with wrong answers to take a sip.

Beach Party 

Dig out your favorite Hawaiian shirt, and break out the rum. The nearest beach might be hundreds of miles away but tonight you can pretend the sand is beneath your feet, just out of view of your webcam. Change your Zoom background to a tropical scene, and prepare to party the night away. Try playing the “Hawaiian Name Game” a twist on the traditional movement name game: look up your Hawaiian Name and add an action alongside it, then go in a circle reciting your name and motion, with each person repeating the previous names and gestures as well as their own. This already challenging activity only gets harder and more ridiculous with the addition of alcohol consumption. You can even add rules such as take a drink for every mispronunciation or forgotten movement. 

Movie Night

Grab the remote and settle into bed like you do every other night, except this time with the company of your friends. The extension Netflix party lets you watch a movie with your friends, from the comfort of your respective homes. Consider adding in a fun drinking game to go along with a classic movie. Decide on the rules beforehand, like “drink whenever Allie and Noah kiss” in “The Notebook,” and see if you can make it through the full film.

Cooking Party

Pick a recipe and send out the ingredients list ahead of time. Then, set up your laptop in your kitchen and cook alongside your friends. If you’re the host you might want to consider narrating your actions like on your favorite cooking show. Your friends can attempt to follow along, and you can all enjoy dinner and a drink together. Not exciting enough? Make it a competition. Try baking and decorating cupcakes and seeing whose creation looks like the work of the next baking champ and whose dessert disaster looks more like a scene from “Nailed It.” The loser owes the winner a round of drinks when this is all over.

Try these virtual party themes or create your own, but make the time to keep in touch with your friends. We’re all missing our friends and routines during quarantine, including our wild nights out, but you really can still have fun from the comfort of your own home. Let’s be honest, all you ever really needed to have a good time was some good company and a few drinks.

Here are 10 things to consider – after the alcohol, and before the “send”.

• Remember what happened last time you did this? You’re going to do that again?!

• “We were drunk, it’s different.” You’re going to endure another headache just to hear that again?!

• If you mean it, if you really need to speak your peace, why can’t this wait until the morning? If it needs to be said, why does it need to be said now?    It doesn’t.

• How many times have you woken up and said, “I’m so happy I sent that last night at 2 AM!” Yea, me neither.

• Text your best friend who knows all the details of this heartbreak and tell them what you’re about to text…while you’re drunk…to your ex. Your ex is enough of a damper, you don’t need your best friend to be mad at you as well.

• Antibiotics might not work when combined with alcohol. Texting your ex also doesn’t work when combined with alcohol.

• “Realizing people aren’t meant for you, and not resenting them for it.  Growth.” @mantramagazine

• OK – fine, send it! But first, let me show you the only two outcomes; bad, worse.

• You know that scab that’s almost healed, but you pick anyways to see if it will bleed? It always does. Let it heal already!

• Write the text in the notes of your phone. Go to sleep. Wake up. Read it.  Notice I didn’t say send it? Notice how good you feel this morning?

Got a friend that might need to hear this? Pass it along!

Do a paint-by-number.

For people who love to sit down with paint and a brush but aren’t particularly artistic, paint-by-numbers are a fun alternative to blank canvases. They come with all the paints you’ll need, brushes and a ready-made picture with numbers to correspond with the paints. Even if you’re a little tipsy, these are super fun and can be challenging if you pick the right one. Invite a few friends over to paint or do other projects with you. You’ll create a beautiful piece of art for your home and have fun doing it.

Organize your closet.

We could all use this time to bring some organization into our homes. Pour yourself a glass of vino and start with the closet. Pour another and find all the lids for your storage containers. Invite your friends and family to pick through your closet for items they want and maybe return the favor. By the end, you’ll have a more organized house and a nice buzz.

Plant something.

You don’t need much. A little potting soil, some seeds and sunny spot. A little time in the sunshine digging in the soil does the mind and body good. Research what kinds of flowers or herbs grow best in your climate and how often to feed and water them. Then sit back with a cold wine spritzer (or Budlight Seltzer) and watch them sprout and grow!

Flowers are therapeutic to grow and make your home look and smell fresh.

Start a blog or journal.

Not every one likes the thought of sitting down and writing out their thoughts. But it can be a very therapeutic process, especially when you’re anxious or have a lot on your mind. Drink a glass of wine before you sit down to write to relax you and get the juices flowing. Then just start writing. Even if it’s not Stephen King grade, you might find out a little about yourself and release some stress in the process.

Take a bath.

Nothing quite beats a glass of deep red wine and a warm bath. Dump in that anti-bacterial hand soap to make yourself feel better and sip something while you soak your worries away. Throw in some epsom salts to soothe any sore muscles and remove toxins. Pour your partner a glass too and relax in the tub together.

Enjoy the down time in your home with the ones you love- and a little bit of wine.

This beloved beer has been a favorite since 1982, when Anheuser-Busch released their newest beer in 40 states. It quickly became the best-selling beer brand in the country, and is still today, one of the biggest sellers worldwide.

Bud Light has always been a trailblazer in the industry. The original brewery, Anheuser-Busch remained strong during prohibition and Bud Light was among the first to list nutritional facts/ ingredients on the label. So it’s no surprise that you’ll find this simple, yet delicious beer no matter where you go, and there’s no doubt it belongs wherever you go. Here’s why:

1. It’s versatile

This beer brand has blazed through the beer industry. They have created multiple packaging varieties, varied beverage flavors, and as their newest feat, have just released Bud Light Seltzer. To say that Bud Light is versatile is an understatement. It has withstood the test of time, and as versatile as it has been over time, so it is for any party guest.

Bud Light can easily be served at any house party, office party, backyard BBQ, even drinks with coworkers because it’s just versatile. It works. It’s popular enough to seem not too cheap, but also not too expensive. It’s flavor is easy to swallow, and just about everyone is a fan.

2. It’s got team spirit

Remember these? This might as well be the number one reason why Bud Light is the go-anywhere beverage; because it now belongs everywhere- in every sports arena, at every Super Bowl party, at every Sunday football hangout, every sports bar, every sports shop, and basically in any city where sports fans live.

Beer drinkers everywhere loved these spirited bottles and Bud Light hasn’t stopped making a name for itself in the sports world, with its newest release of Bud Light Seltzer.

3. It’s easy to drink

If you’re going to have a go-to beverage at any party/ gathering/ function, everyone needs to enjoy it. That’s where Bud Light comes in. Its hard to find a typical American that doesn’t appreciate the simple taste of Bud Light. Its clean, crisp, and has been described as a cream-soda like alcoholic beverage.

Even if you do find the rare individual that has ever tried Bud Light before, this beer is the perfect one to serve at your next function because its so easy to drink. With no weird after taste, Bud Light remains smooth from the first sip all the way down.

4. It’s easy to mix

There’s no doubt that Bud Light by itself is delicious, but this beverage is also a party favorite because it yields delicious mixed drinks as well. As if you could make this drink taste any better, you can also serve it a few different ways to ‘wow’ your party guests.

Bud Light Orangutan

•  12 oz. Bud Light
• 2 ½ oz. pure orange juice
• ½ oz. simple syrup
• Few drops of grenadine

Purple Rain

•  8 oz Bud Light
• 1 oz Chambord
• 1 oz simple syrup

Jet Fuel

•  12oz Bud Light
• 1 oz Red Bull
• 1 oz Apple Pucker
• splash of Sprite

5. It’s Bud Light

And finally, the reason why Bud Light belongs everywhere— because it’s Bud Light. Everyone wants a Bud. Everyone loves a Bud. Everyone knows Bud Light. It’s drinkable, cheerable, and most of all shareable. When you serve Bud Light, you’re serving up laughter and memories that other beers just don’t stand a chance against.

A drink cart is one of the trendiest ways to serve up drinks in 2020. Mini bars are great, but drink carts are simply cuter. Whether you have a few guests over for V-day or you’re just treating the one you love, do so in style with everything you need to have the most sophisticated, and well-stocked drink cart.

1. 5 basic spirits

You’re not going to be able to create anything without the necessary staples on hand. Be sure you have the originals: vodka, gin, bourbon, whiskey, and rum of course. From there, you need the mixers and a few bitters to make the ultimate drink concoctions.

2. A hand juicer

If you want to bartend like a pro, be sure to include a small hand juicer on your drink cart. Whether you need lemon, lime or a little bit of both, fresh squeezed juice tastes better than anything in a bottle.

3. A shaker/ strainer combo

For all those times you need those martinis shaken not stirred, be sure you have one on hand. Fortunately strainers come in all different metallics and styles these days, so you can choose one that fits your cart perfectly.

4. An ice container with tongs 

Just as ice is a staple for many cocktails, and ice container with tongs is a staple for your drink cart. How else are you going to serve the ice anyway? Plus the tongs just give it some fancy flare.

5. The perfect glassware

No drink cart is complete without the perfect glasses to serve drinks in. Invest in a set of 8 glasses and be sure that they’re sturdy as well as elegant.

6. The finishing touches

These are all the things that make your drink cart, yours. Add some greenery and small plants, give it a pop of color with small statues and other figurines, even go all out and blingy with some fake jewels. Whatever it is that’s your personality, show it off a little.

All it takes is knowing how to pull off the single look, in style. Specifically how to drink at the bar alone and look good doing it.

Theres something sophisticated if you do it the right way, and here’s exactly how:

Go in with a plan

There is nothing wrong with drinking alone, if you do so confidently, so go in with a plan. If you’re there to just enjoy a good drink, sit in a cozy corner somewhere and bring a book or magazine. If you’re wanting to meet someone however, sit in the middle of the bar. That way, you’re noticeable. You can talk with others and others can approach that suave individual at the bar.

Avoid peak hours

If you’re for sure not trying to meet anyone, don’t go during the busiest time at the bar. There just won’t be enough space to relax and enjoy.

Talk, but don’t over chat

If you’re drinking alone and just enjoying yourself at the bar, chit chat with the bartender for a little sense of normalcy. As it starts to get crowded however, don’t over-chat with the obviously busy bartender, and watch for social cues of patrons who don’t feel like talking.

Don’t just sit on your phone

Using your device while drinking alone actually calls more attention to your ‘aloneness’. It also prevents new faces from talking to you, in case you happen to meet that special someone. So try not to use your device, if you’re trying to make sitting alone seem ‘cool’. Just because you’re sitting alone you might still be able to socialize as long as you’re not on your device.

Be a regular

If you’re a regular at a bar, you practically own a table there, and no one can judge you. Make a habit of drinking alone and it will become stylish before you know it. After that, the bartender can become your wingman/ woman.

It’s science really. The chemical reactions that your brain receives when you’re with the one you love, are very similar, if not the same as those released when you’re on your second round of drinks.

It all comes down to oxytocin. This is the hormone that is released in excess when you’re ‘falling in love’ or totally hammered, and its hard to achieve it from anything else.

So if you have a partner you’re in love with, perhaps you don’t need to have as many drinks. Here are some other ways being in love and drunk are so similar.

• You’re over exposed. When you’re in love, there’s no secrets. You can’t hide your emotions or that senseless, permanent grin on your face. Same goes with being drunk, everyone knows how all the secrets come out when you’re drunk.

• You’re not like yourself. Specifically, you do things that you wouldn’t normally do in public. When you’re drunk, this might be performing a full on dance routine, but even being in love, a big ‘ol smooch in public might be typically unlike you.

• You have no judgement. Sure there’s beer goggles, but did you know there’s love goggles as well? Surely you’ve done something over the top and crazy from being in love, everyone has.

• You have no memory of it. Whether you’re waking up not in the bar the next day, or trying to recap exactly when you fell in love, it’s almost impossible to recall. Both are just a gradual transition and then it hits you, HARD.

• You can’t stop. Just because you have a drink limit, typically you don’t always follow it. Same goes with being in love, you just can’t stop yourself. There’s no off button, no control, you’re just passionately and consistently in love.
