Drinking Games

Give One, Take One

What You Will Need:

People
A deck of cards 
Alcohol

How to Play:

Before playing, the deck is shuffled and cut.
The host is original dealer. Dealer changes each time 
the last card is flipped on the deck.

Each player is dealt 3 cards, face up. The dealer asks 
the person to their right, "give or take?" (We will 
pretend the individual said give). The first card 
remaining on the deck is turned face up. Any player 
that has the matching card instructs any player of 
their choice to take a drink. They must comply. If the 
player with the matching card has two of the same card, 
the player may instruct two different individuals to 
take a drink, or may "give" both drinks to one individual.

The next card is turned over "give 2". Any player having 
that matching card instructs another player to take 2 
drinks. Next card, "give 3".

Next card is "take 1". You got it. If you have a matching 
card, you take a drink. Of course, if you have 2 matching 
cards, double whatever number you are on.

Continue "give 2, give 3", and start all over with 
"take 1". When the deck is completely flipped, pass the 
deck to the next dealer.
