Drinking Games on your birthday need to be a bit special, to make the night something to try to remember. My personal favourite birthday drinking game is where you have to spell your name… with the first letter of your drinks. For example, my name is Matthew (Matt is far too short an abbreviation for this game, but including my surname would be a bit long!). So I could drink a Martini, followed by an Appletini, followed by two Theakstons old peculiars and then… well you get the idea. If there isn’t a drink for a letter you can ask the bar tender to make one up. Mixing drinks like this can be dangerous so don’t feel under any pressure to actually finish your name! Remember playing drinking games too often can lead to the development of a drinking problem.

Another fun birthday drinking game is to have the birthday boy or girl make up a really simple quiz. They ask people the questions during the night, if the person they ask gets it right then that person has to drink. Once all the questions are answered correctly the birthday boy/girl is bought a drink as a reward for their good work, and the fact its their birthday of course.
