When you imagine drinking games, you might envision a large group of people crammed into a sticky living room. Yet contrary to popular opinion, you can still have a fun-filled night spent with just one other drinking buddy. That's where drinking games for two people come in handy.Some of these games boil down to boozy spins on already-beloved properties—from the iconic card game Solitaire to the block-building competition Jenga. While these games can be enjoyed with as many people as possible, they can also be just as entertaining one-on-one. If you’re a pop culture junkie, you can also play a drinking game predicated on one of your favorite movies or shows to add a new dimension to your next hangout.Of course, who you decide to imbibe with will also make a big difference in what drinking games you choose to play. Taking part in “Truth or Dare” or “Speed Compliments” with your partner will likely set a different tone than playing with, say, your longtime bestie, who might be more into a round of “Beer Duel.”Whichever games you choose, the options are honestly endless! So without further ado, here are 27 drinking games that you can have a blast playing with just one other person.Related: 35 Adult Party Games That Are Anything But Boring
27 Best Drinking Games for Two People
(Peter Carruthers/Getty Images)Channel your inner western showdown with a beer duel. To play this game, each person puts a can of beer in their back pocket. Take three steps forward before turning back around to face each other. Count to three, then chug your beer as quickly as possible and throw your can at your opponent once finished. Whoever does so first wins.
2. Drunk Jenga
Grab a Sharpie and get creative with a new take on the beloved block game. Before you start stacking your blocks, grab a marker and write drink-related challenges for players to complete each time they pull a block. From “take a shot of hot sauce” to “wear your clothes inside out,” the sky's the limit when it comes to prompts! The game ends when the person who makes the tower fall has to finish the rest of their drink.
For this game, fill two cups with beer (or shots of liquor, if you want to get really hammered). After counting to three, chug your beer and place the cup upside down first. Afterward, put your cup upside down over the edge of a table and use your finger to flick it so that it lands right-side up on the ground. Whoever loses takes a drink.
4. Flip, Sip or Post
This game takes “pics or it didn’t happen” to the next level. Flip a coin and ask your opponent to guess heads or tails. Then you guess whether it’s heads or tails. If you guess correctly, you switch. If you guess incorrectly, your opponent flips the coin again. If you guess wrong three times in a row, you have two options: take a shot or post something embarrassing on social media.Related: 125 Funny Punishments for Lost Bet Games To Raise the Stakes
This brain teaser will test just how well you remember information. One player will start by saying the phrase, “I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing…” followed by a common picnic item. The next player will repeat the phrase and add another item. Keep going back and forth until someone messes up the sentence and has to take a drink.
6. Never Have I Ever
Be warned—this game can get wild pretty quickly! Take turns asking whether your opponent has done something by saying “Never have I ever” and finishing the sentence with something scandalous or risqué. This thing is something you've never done, but maybe your drinking buddy has. If the person has done the prompt, they have to take a drink.

If you’re hoping to get really drunk, this might be the game for you. Over the course of an hour, aim to take 60 shots of beer—AKA one shot per minute. Just make sure to keep water on hand for hydration!
8. Speed Facts
Test how much you know about your drinking buddy with this game. Each of you takes turns stating facts about each other until someone pauses. Depending on how drunk you want to get, you can take sips of a drink or shots whenever someone runs out of facts!
All you need for this game are a few pieces of paper, some tape and drinks. First, choose a category—people, animals, objects, etc.—and write something down on your paper. Then tape it to the other person’s forehead and they begin guessing what they are. Whenever they guess incorrectly, they have to take a drink until they land on the correct answer.
10. Drunk Trivia
Jeopardy just got boozy. Write out a list of categories with questions about a celebrity, a sport, an animal, you name it. If your opponent gets the answer wrong, they drink. If they get it right, you drink.
Drinking Card Games for Two
(AJ_Watt/Getty Images)In this bluffing game, you and your opponent take turns laying a hand of cards in ascending order. After you announce your card and how many cards you’re laying off, try to get rid of your cards as fast as you can. Your opponent can call “b*llsh*t” (BS) if they think you’re lying about the cards you’re about to play. If they’re right, you take a drink. If they’re wrong, they take a drink.Related: 13 Genius Tricks To Catch a Liar in the Act, According to Psychologists
12. Drunk Poker
It’s classic poker with a twist! Only this time, every time you lose a hand of poker, you take a drink or a shot. No matter how good of a poker game you usually play, you might surprise yourself once this much booze is involved.
Deal 10 cards and place them face-down on the table. These cards form a “bridge” that players try to cross by flipping them over one at a time. When you come across a numbered card, you can move on to the next one and flip it over. But if you come across a face card, you have to drink based on its value. Jacks means one sip, Queen means two and King means three.
Remove your face card from the game and replace the bridge with more cards to replace your sips. The first person to cross the whole bridge is the winner.
14. Higher or Lower
In this game, one player sits facing the other with a deck of cards face down in front of them. First, the player with the cards reveals the first card. Then the second player must guess whether the next card in the deck will be higher or lower than the last. If they’re wrong, they take a drink! Keep going until you’ve gone through the entire deck.Related: 215 ‘Kiss, Marry, Kill’ Game Questions That’ll Really Get a Party Going
Typically a solo card game, you can mix things up by adding a partner and a drink. After shuffling a deck of cards, place it face down. Then say “Ace of Spades” and flip the card. If it’s not that card, take a drink. Repeat until you finally reach it!
16. Pyramid Drinking
Before you start drinking, make a pyramid of cards: six down on the bottom, then five, then four, then three, then two and finish with one card on top. Then take turns flipping cards from the pyramid over. If a card from the pyramid matches a card on your hand, take the number of drinks associated with that level (all the way from one drink to level one to six drinks for level six).
In this tipsy take on the “Slapjack” card game, take turns flipping cards. The first player to slap the pile when a Jack appears takes all of the cards flipped up until that point. If you slap the pile when a Jack isn’t on top, you have to take a shot.
18. Suits Me
In this boozy card game, one person will lay a deck of cards face down in a circle. Then, the players can take turns guessing the suit of the top card: clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades. If you guess right, your opponent takes a sip. If you guess wrong, you do.Related: Want To Play the 21 Questions Game?

Instead of using boats, you can play the classic Battleship game with shots or cups full of beer. Line up two 7 x 7 grids and label the rows and columns A-G and 1-7. Pace your shots on them and start calling out coordinates. If one player guesses a coordinate correctly, the other must take a shot or sip.
20. Beer Pong
This classic is just as entertaining with a duo. Fill a pyramid of plastic cups with beer or whatever you prefer to drink on a table and head to opposite sides of it. Then grab a ping pong ball and aim it at the other player’s cups. When you land a ball in a cup, the other person must drink its contents.
If you’re running low on cups, this is a simpler take on beer pong. Simply place two cups of beer on opposite sides of a table and take turns trying to throw either a ping pong ball, quarter or bottle cap into your opponent’s cup. If you succeed, they drink.
22. 'Roxanne'
While you can use any popular song for this drinking game, “Roxanne” by The Police is such a common example that the game is often named for it. Every time you hear a certain word in the song you choose—i.e. “Roxanne” in “Roxanne”—take a sip of your drink.
Test how well you know your drinking buddy with this game. During each round, both of you will make three statements about yourselves. Two are true and one is a lie. Whoever guesses wrong has to take a drink!Related: 40 Team-Building Activities and Games That Will Excite Your Whole Crew
24. Truth or Dare or Drink
This sleepover staple still holds up in adulthood… and now you can get drunk with it! After picking “truth” or “dare,” each player has the option to drink instead of telling the truth or partaking in a dare. Once you take turns, you might be surprised by how quickly you start to feel tipsy.Related: 175 Spicy Truth or Dare Questions That Will Definitely Make You Blush

26. Speed Compliments
Whether you’re looking to get romantic with a date or feeling sentimental about your best friend, this drinking game is bound to get emotions flowing. Give each other as many compliments as you can, one after another. The first person to pause has to take a drink!
27. Quarters
For this game, you’ll need a bunch of quarters and a shotglass. Take turns bouncing quarters off the table in the hope of getting one into the glass. If you land the shot, the other person drinks and so on.Up Next:
