See the full games and rules below
1 The Beer Hunter
You'll need: 6 cans of lager.
Rules:
- Two stags must sit either side of a table facing each other.
- Take 6 cans of beer, one of these must be seriously shaken (not stirred) and then all the cans are placed on a table.
- The two players then take it in turns to pick a can, hold it over their heads and pull the tab.
- The loser is the stag that ends up with hop flavoured shampoo.
Extras: The sicker alternative is to prepare hard-boiled eggs which the stags must smash on their heads, however, that version won’t go down well in the local boozer so best played in a garden or camping.
2 Sir Spin-a-lot
You'll need: A coin, alcohol.
Rules:
- This is a simple drinking challenge.
- The player takes a coin and spins it on a table or bar, he has the time it takes the coin to come to rest to drink a pint.
- If he fails... forfeit!
3 Handicap
Rules:
- Each stag starts drinking using his natural hand. At the start of the next hour, everyone must switch drinking hands - lefties must become righties and vice versa.
- If a stag is then caught using the wrong paw, he must pay a penalty.
4 Jacks
You'll need: A deck of cards.
Rules:
Deal out a pack of cards to all the stags in turn. The four stags that receive the jacks must each perform the following tasks:
- 1st Jack - Picks a spirit
- 2nd Jack - Adds another
- 3rd Jack - Pays for the new "cocktail"
- 4th Jack - Drinks it
5 Ping Pong Pints
You'll need: A table tennis ball.
Rules:
- One stag will start with the ball.
- If the ball is dropped into your drink when it's unprotected you have to neck that drink.
- However, the ball is then under your control to get the next unsuspecting stag.
6 Where's Wally
Rules:
- Ask all the lads to stick £20 in the stag kitty, one volunteer is then asked to "guard" the kitty, this will involve him running off and hiding in a random pub while the rest of the stags find him.
- He is allowed to use the kitty funds for his drinking pleasure until he's found.
- Once a volunteer steps forward only then does he get shown his costume.
- The rest of the lads are now split into teams of 4/5, they are not allowed to carry any cash or plastic and their only hope of getting a drink is to find Wally who will buy them a drink as soon as they find him.
- The stags can then keep drinking until the last team reaches Wally.
- However, slow teams could arrive to find the kitty well has already been drunk dry.
7 You've Been Shot!
You'll need: Shot glasses, a bottle of clear spirit, water.
Rules:
- Set out the shot glasses on a table (enough for one per stag), fill half the glasses with water and the rest with a clear spirit (gin, vodka, tequila, sambuca, etc).
- The drinks are arranged on the table and the stags must slide one towards them at random without lifting them off the table.
- When the ref/best man shouts "Bang!" all the players must down their drink and see who got shot.
8 Jacob's Ladder
You'll need: A deck of cards.
Rules:
- Lay some of the cards face down on a table in a pyramid formation, 5 on the bottom row, 4 on the next row, 3, 2, 1.
- The player then chooses a card on the bottom row, turns it over and selects a card on the next row.
- He must then predict whether that card's value will be higher or lower.
- He must continue all the way to the top of the pyramid without making a wrong call.
- If he gets a call wrong, he must take a shot and start again at the bottom of the pyramid until he eventually makes a clear round calling every choice correctly.
9 Guess Who
You'll need: Pen and paper, a hat (or an empty pint glass will also do) and some shots.
Rules:
- Each player writes a secret about himself on a piece of paper, folds it up and drops it into the hat or glass.
- The first player picks a secret out of the bag and tries to guess whose secret it is.
- If they guess right then the person they guessed has to take a shot. If they guess wrong then they have to down the shot.
10 Stag Do Cocktail
You'll need: A round of drinks and an empty pint glass.
Rules:
- At any moment in time, the best man will hold his drink on top of his head, the rest of the stags must follow suit.
- A small measure of each drink is then poured into a pint glass, the last stag to raise his glass has to drink the stag do cocktail.
11 You Bet
You'll need: A deck of cards, empty glass.
Rules:
- Three stags (with very different drinks) start the game making a stag cocktail by pouring a small amount of their drinks into the pint glass.
- The 'games master'/ref will then shuffle the cards, and turn one face-up on a table.
- The first player then has to place his bet (by adding a little of his own drink to the glass) and call "red" or "black".
- If he's right he passes the glass to the next player. If he's wrong he has to drink what's in the glass.
- Continue until every stag has had a bet and the final glassful has been drunk. Cheers!
12 Pub Trivia
You'll need: A set of board game quiz cards.
Rules:
The best man takes the role of quizmaster as the stags split themselves into even teams.
- Each team member is allocated a number, the quizmaster will then call forward the number 1 of each team and ask a question off a quiz card.
- The players have to shout out the answer the quickest without any help from their team, the player that guesses correctly is safe, rest of the number 1s must drink 2 fingers of beer.
- The number 2 players then step forward for their turn. The game continues until the first team scores 7 correct answers.
Extras: Give each team a different buzzer: a bicycle bell, kazoo, hooter, baby's rattle, etc.
13 A Question of Port
You'll need: A bottle of port or two, set of sports quiz questions.
Rules:

A Note About Stag Do Drinking Games
We're all about having fun, drinking games are great... in moderation. Just remember:
- Never force anyone to play stag do drinking games (it's not a playground, everyone can make their choices).
- Always show consideration for other people not in your group/game.
- If someone has clearly had too much make sure they are taken care of.
- And make sure they stop!
- Mix drinks: intersperse alcoholic drinks with glasses of water.
- Have fun, drinking games should be an aid to a good evening, not the focal point.
- Never pick your phone up after a drinking game, whatever idea has just come into your head is a bad one. Put the phone down!
