Option #1. Battleshots

Number of Players: 2

Best Alcohol: Beer

Materials Needed

• Battleshots board or Battleship board game
• Shot glasses

How to Play

1. This is one of the simplest drinking games with 2 people you can enjoy.
2. Begin by setting up the board. You can either use a Battleship board game or you can draw a grid on posterboard and use that instead.
3. Just like in regular Battleship, players should then choose where they want to place their ships. Players should have a few two-square ships and a few four-square ships to make things interesting.
4. Each square where a ship is located counts for a shot.
5. Players take turns guessing where each other’s ships are. When a player “hits” the other player’s ship, the player whose ship was hit must take a shot for each square that is guessed correctly.
6. The player who runs out of ships (and shots) first is the loser.

Option #2. Two Truths and a Lie

Number of Players: 2

Best Alcohol: Any

Materials Needed

• Drinks for both players

How to Play

1. This option is one of the easiest drinking games 2 people can play together without any setup.
2. Players simply take turns sharing two facts about themselves along with a lie. These facts should be obscure enough that the other player doesn’t necessarily know which is true and which isn’t.
3. The other player then tries to guess which one is the lie.
4. If the player guesses correctly, the person who told the lie takes a shot.
5. If the player guesses wrong, they must take the shot instead.
6. This game can continue back and forth for several rounds until the players run out of truths they can share with each other.

Option #3. Quarters

Number of Players: 2

Best Alcohol: Beer

Materials Needed

• 2 quarters
• 1 tall middle cup
• 2 shot glasses
• Table

How to Play

1. When it comes to two people drinking games, Quarters is a classic standard. Although it’s meant to be played with a small group, it can easily be adapted for play with just two people as well.
2. Place a shot glass on the table in front of both players and give each player a quarter.
3. Fill the middle cup with beer or, if you prefer, combine drinks or fill it with something strong or with a type of alcohol neither player likes the taste of.
4. Players then try to bounce their quarter into their shot glass first.
5. The first player to do so is the winner of the round, and the other player must then try to chug the middle cup before the winner can bounce their quarter into their glass again.
6. If they don’t make it in time, they have to take an additional shot.

Option #4. Beer Pong

Number of Players: 2

Best Alcohol: Beer

Materials Needed

• 20 plastic cups
• 2 ping pong balls
• Table
• Additional bottle or can of beer for chugging

How to Play

1. Beer Pong is easily the most recognizable of the 2 player drinking games.
2. Set up beer pong by placing 10 cups per side in a pyramid-shape.
3. Put one or two shots of beer in each cup.
4. Players stand on either side of the table and bounce their ping pong balls toward the other player’s cups.
5. If a ball goes into a cup, the player must take the shot and then remove that cup from play.
6. The first player to lose all of their cups in the round is the loser and has to chug the additional bottle or can of beer.
7. Although this game can be played in teams of even numbers, it can easily be played with just two people.
8. Don’t be afraid to mix up the rules a little bit when playing with two. For example, ten cups might be too many for a small group, so play with a smaller number of cups if you prefer.
9. You might also agree on a different type of alcohol than beer. Although technically it should be played with beer, when playing with just one other person, you can easily change things up to suit your tastes.

Option #5. Flip Cup Tic Tac Toe

Number of Players: 2

Best Alcohol: Beer

Materials Needed

• 8 plastic cups, ideally four each in two different colors
• Large tic tac toe board
• Table

How to Play

1. Turn Flip Cup into one of the more enjoyable two player drinking games with this Tic Tac Toe version.
2. Add one or two shots of beer to each plastic cup.
3. Players choose their cup color and stand in front of their four cups on the table.
4. The first player takes a shot, flips their cup, and then plays it upside-down on the board.
5. The second player then does the same.
6. The first player to get three in a row is the winner, and the loser must take and additional shot.
7. To make this game more intense, players should not take turns, but should instead play their cups as soon as they are able to take the shot and then flip them over. This way, both players will be scrambling to play Flip Cup as fast as they can so they can score their three in a row before the other player has a chance to make a move.

Conclusion

How can you keep the excitement going with just two people when playing these fun drinking games for 2? One of the easiest ways is simply to play a few rounds instead of just one. This way, both people playing have a chance to get a little drunk before the game is over.

Of course, you can also invite others to join your game and take turns, so that everyone playing has one-on-one time but the game can be mixed up a little bit, too. This will only work in situations where there are more than two people present, however, so it may not be a great solution for everyone.

No matter how you choose to play these games, make sure to drink and play responsibly. Remember that only adults should play or be present when drinking games are being played, and that players should never drink and drive. Also ensure that you and the other person playing know each other well enough to feel safe and secure while drinking together, and that you are drinking in a safe environment as well.

When it comes to drinking games, safety should always be your number one priority, so keep these tips in mind for a great experience every time!
