Pre-drinks are a crucial part of every night out. It’s the best way to save money before you leave your flat – if you get drunk before you get to the club it’ll save you so much money on drinks.
It can also act as an icebreaker in fresher’s week – if you’ve just moved into your halls or student accommodation, the best way to get to know your housemates it by getting them all drunk, right?

Truth or Dare
This one might seem like a safe one because you used to play it when you were kids right? Wrong. This type of truth or dare is slightly more, let’s say mature…This will definitely break the ice with your new university mates. Thankfully there are many different versions of this game, so you can choose your level of savageness. This is a good website to start off on: https://icebreakerideas.com/truth-or-dare-questions/

Never Have I Ever
Now this game gets personal. Starting with the youngest first, take turns coming up with random things you think people may have done. You start off by saying “Never have I ever…” then finish with whatever you like, such as “kissed my flatmate.” (Make them a lot juicier than that) whoever has completed the dirty deed must then drink their ALDI vodka and lemonade mixer. You’ll end up finding a lot more out about your friends and housemates than expected!

Ring of Fire
Personally, I think this is the best drinking game of all. It’s an absolute classic game to play at pre-drinks. It’s such an easy way to get people drunk, with added fun. This game needs three things: a pack of cards spread around a cup in a circle with the cup being filled with some of everyone’s drink. The aim of the game is to get at least someone to drink with each different card and the ultimate aim is to get someone to drink the disgusting mixture of alcohol in the cup…good luck! Now here’s what each card means:
Ace: Waterfall. This means everyone starts drinking their drink and can only stop when the person on their right stops! Starting with the person who picked the card.
Two: You. Pick someone to drink.
Three: Me. You drink!
Four: Whores. All the girls in the room drink.
Five: Thumbmaster. You become the thumbmaster! Place your thumb onto something flat and hold it there, the last person to do so has to drink! You can do this once at any point in the game.
Six: Dicks. All the guys in the room have to drink.
Seven: Heaven. Last person to raise their hand in the air drinks. You have the power to do this once at any point during the game – pick your moment wisely!
Eight: Category. Pick a category and go round the room naming something in your category. The first person to pause or skip has to drink.
Nine: Rhyme. Just like the category, but you choose a word and everyone has to pick a word that rhymes with it.
Ten: Social. Everyone has to drink!
Jack: Rule. You’re now in charge of making up a rule everyone has to stick by. If anyone breaks it during the game, they have to, guess what – drink!
Queen: Question. Go round the room asking each other quick fire questions. The first to laugh or pause has to drink.
King: King’s Cup. Every time someone gets a king, they have to pour some more of their drink into the cup. The person to pick up the last king has to drink the entire contents of the cup!
There you have it – the top 3 ultimate games to get your flatmates absolutely hammered before a night out. Are you going to try out any of these? Or maybe you already have, and you have a favourite? Let us know in the comments!
