Drinking games without alcohol – works just as well!
A drinking game is not really about alcohol – it is about fun rules, social dynamics and laughter. Alcohol is just a consequence in the rules, and it can easily be swapped out for anything. Soft drinks, juice, water, tea or even tomatoes to throw at each other – imagination is the only limit.
In reality, many of the funniest rounds of drinking games are played without a single drop of alcohol. It is about the challenges, the revelations and the moments where everyone bursts out laughing – and that has nothing to do with alcohol.
All games on drikkelek.com are designed so you just swap "drink" for whatever the group wants. Some choose to make their own fun house rules: whoever loses has to sing, do a jump, say an embarrassing fact about themselves, or take a sip of soft drink. The possibilities are endless.
It is a huge plus that your party is inclusive for everyone. Designated drivers, pregnant guests, people on medication, people who simply do not drink – everyone can fully participate in an alcohol-free drinking game and have just as much fun as the rest of the group.
Replace the alcohol with...
Here are some good suggestions for what you can use as a replacement for alcohol in drinking games:
Soft drinks
Cola, Fanta, Sprite or your favourite soft drink. Simple, cheap and available. Make a "penalty drink" – something with a strong taste that everyone dreads a little.
Juice
Orange juice, apple juice or an exotic tropical blend. Mix your own to create a special "party blend" that is the party's official drink.
Water
Simple and effective. Has the added benefit that everyone actually stays hydrated throughout the evening – which makes the party better for everyone.
Flavoured drinks
Moccachino, apple-ginger, kombucha or raspberry lemonade. Have several flavours and let people choose their own penalty drink for extra fun.
Perfect games without alcohol
These games work great without alcohol – either because the premise is social and fun in itself, or because it is easy to swap out the drinking rules for something else:
