14 Best Stag Do Drinking Games

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.

• 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!
