Hi, I'm planning my mates stag do and was thinking about implementing a few 'rules' for the evening. I thinking no use of his name and drinks to be held in right hand for first 30 mins of hour and left for second etc. Please can you suggest any others that are worth doing also what is a reasonable penalty for breaking a 'rule'?
Thanks.
You can't call anyone by their first name for the first hour, penalty is one must down their drink. If your objective is to get very,very drunk (as im assuming you are as your on a stag) that does the trick.
Both of those rules sound stoopid sorry - why not just bang everyone on a plane to Rigo and get loose with some AK's and local mobsters?
Swearing - consume a finger
Pointing - consume a finger
No EG - down your next drink.
Reasonable penalties are best done with fingers, as always.
Also depending on the location playing sniper is fun.
Oh and of course, spillage is lickage.
Reasonable penalties are best done with fingers, as always.
true. just more fingers! 🙂
"no EG"??
What goes on tour, stays on tour.
No evidence.
The first rule of stag do club is not to talk about stag do club.
If a rule is broken then enforce straight arm drinking, that's always fun to watch.
There were a group drinking in the pub at Stanstead Airport at 0600 the other day [b]But they appeared to be taking photographs[/b] - surely this is breaking the only real rule of stag dis - no evidence??

EG - empty glass. Once you've finished your drink, you have to tap it on your chest before putting it down.
Straight arm drinking +1.
I have a theory that the "what goes on tour stays on tour" mantra is mostly employed by people who want to appear far more interesting that they actually are.
When asked, "ah, sworn to secrecy, sorry" sounds a lot better than "well, we drank ourselves silly every night, exactly like a Saturday night in town back at home, only the weather was nicer and the ale was cheaper."
A bit of pub golf to get the weekend going with the usual penalties?

Dunno, guess it depends if the stag and others plan to be a bunch of cheating "£$%s. I can see no reason, otherwise, not to collect memories of the carnage that goes on.
what I've seen, the only rule seems to be get the groom naked and tied up to something at some point in the evening.
a round of soggy biscuit? it's what you do isn't it?
No saying of the D word - consume
No saying of the M word (mine) - forfeit, we had 10pressups
Time master - drink with right hand for x:00-x:29 and left hand for x:30-x59. Penalties for incorrect hand
Thumb master
Dance master
Get some object like playin cards to stick to your head etc and last one to produce drinks
International drinking rules apply at all times!!
The only International Drinking Rule that seems to be truly International is that no one can ever agree on what the International Drinking Rules are.
stag can not go to the toilet, with out asking some one 1st, at which point person flips a coin - if stag guesses it right he can go. If he guesses wrong he has to wait 10mins before asking again....
Fuzzy duck?
Then a bout of tag-team-drinking.
Dare I ask what 'tag-team-drinking' is? 😕
<irresponsible content>
Assemble the lads into x no of teams of two. Each team buys 10 bottles of beer. Must be same brand, %age and volume in each bottle, ie ten bottles of Becks and line them up.
On the count, the first contender from each team begins drinking. Once that person can't drink anymore (usually 2nd to 3rd bottle) they place the bottle back in the line and their team mate begins to drink.
Repeat.
Watch everyones face as they are on bottle 9 and all they can muster is a sip and their team mate wishing they could drink more!
Never leave your wingman.
*regards Stoner in a whole different way*
Shocked!! 😆
After the last stag do with my mates I think the rule is to go somewhere interesting and actually complete a real challenge.
Flip a coin,call it; get it right pass it on. get it wrong two fingers or gamble with another flip of the coin...wrong? 4 fingers, get it correct pass the forfeit on to next person, who can flip...for 6 fingers...starts to get really personal.

Very pleased I know what 'fingers' mean 😯
no pointing (can only use elbows to point) - 2 fingers
the thumb game is always good - Best man puts his thumb on the table at some point towards the start of the night, last person to join in with the thumb place on table has to down drink (but becomes the owner of the thumb and can start the next game), gets very interesting when people go to the loo.
What's soggy biscuit? I don't really get stag do stuff tbh.....I went to watch Steve Reich in concert at the RNCM last year for mine with my best man-top night!
don't try & be clever, keep it simple
no camera's = the only rule

LOL, I think you're in the wrong place.
What's soggy biscuit?
no way of explaining that one subtly - [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soggy_biscuit ]link to wiki[/url]....
Sweet Jebus!! Why?!!
I love getting smashed but generally think drinking games are lame. However here's my contribution being as I was on a stag last weekend.
The Best Man had arranged for everyone to have their own personalised beer mat (presumably easy to do if you google it).
The rule was that all drinks had to be on the beer mat at all times unless in your hand. If it was on the table, but off the beer mat then punishment ensued. Punishment= a shot of some sort, though often these were more like three shots in one due to the spanish generosity with pouring shots. Obviously this neccesitates having your beer mat on you at all times.
Seemed to work pretty good, got everyone pretty leathered and obviously there's always a few who forget their beer mats for breakfast the next morning and end up downing tequila at 10am etc.
Jesus Christ Tom, I'd heard of the dreaded soggy biscuit game in primary school, could be worse when there is to many of you it turns to soggy sarnie.
Just play, EDWARD FORTYHANDS !!!!!
One rule used on a couple of do's I went on in my distant past was the stag do book, an a5 hardback book and every woman you met, bumped into, etc had to write something in the book for the groom, works quite well, but remember to either destroy it or hide it well at the end of the do
I hate that sort of thing. Reminds me too much of rugger buggers at uni to me. What's wrong with having a great time with a bunch of mates. If you need rules to make it fun, you're not doing it right.
I must be the only person who thinks that stag events are massively overplayed.
Under no circumstances do I want to be handcuffed to a lamp-post. Nor do I ever want a stripper to turn up and do a not-even-remotely-sexy removal of my clothing. And I'm still angry, 20 years on, that someone shaved off my left eyebrow on my stag night. That oh-so-hilarious jape made the wedding photos just so much better.
Rules are too much like hard work to be enforced, after a few pints can you be bothereed - I like this though....

Also 'don't look at the circle' can be fun - step one, form a circle with your thumb and index finger, step 2, if anyone* looks at it give them a dead-arm, simple 🙂
*others on the stag-do not just the general public

That needs another rule I would think.
Otherwise people can just keep "gambling" and eventually call one correctly and pass it on.
A drinking game where nobody gets drunk except the last bloke, and he dies 
atlaz +1
The coin flip game is being done wrong as explained above. Its proper name is arrogance.
-Start with an empty glass.
-First player adds a quantity of his own drink to the glass, flips the coin, heads he drinks the drink; tails, he passes the glass to the next player.
-Second player then adds any quantity of his own drink to the glass, flips etc. etc.
Hence why it is called arroagance! When played on hoilday you can end up with some fruity concoctions. There is always some pr*** who thinks it is funny to drink baileys!
I must be the only person who thinks that stag events are massively overplayed.
Not at all. I like a night out but I don't really find the ritualised humiliation of a mate (or myself) that fun. I've been on stag nights with mates (the stag) who WANT to do that and that's fair enough as it's their night out but inflicted on you by friends seems harsh. Having looked after a close friend who had his drinks spiked by other friends and family on his 21st, I'm not a fan of that sort of thing being sprung on people.
OMG. Are 12 year olds allowed to get married now ?? That's news.
Don't forget your fake IDs for the titty bar now lads.
What atlaz said plus about 20 years of growing up.
This may not be everyone's idea of fun, but the stag and everyone coming will (hopefully) enjoy it which is what matters. No-one will be made to do anything they don't want to and we're not going to humiliate the stag, as it's not what he wants. Thanks for the useful ideas, I like the beer mat one and may have to go with no swearing or pointing 😉
Some stag do things I've done that were awesome:
Paintball, karting, mountain biking, coasteering, a meal with some adults talking enthusiastically about the paintball, karting, mountain biking, or coasteering.
Stag do weekend that could have been grindingly dull and awful:
Racing to finish the next pint, again and again, for three nights in a row in order to be "hardest". What made it fun was that I knew there was no way I could keep up, so a few pints in when people's vision went wobbly, I'd drink an inch or two from my glass, then swap my glass with someone who only had an inch or two left. All night. Every night.
I bounced out of bed at 11:00 am every day fresh faced and ready for brekkie after apparently going pint for pint with them and they thought I was well 'ard!
(I quite liked the strip club too.)
I must be the only person who thinks that stag events are massively overplayed.
Me too.
Went on a joint stag and hen do recently (a s-h-a-g do). We played in the trees at a Go Ape centre, and then went for a very pleasant meal that evening.
I've been badly enough behaved in my youth not to need to try hard at it as an adult. Drinking games FFS.
Rules are made to be broken.
Just get a kitty going at the beginning of the night and be done with it.
I do think it's funny if everyone dresses up except the stag though.
STW Puritans out in force then, I see no point in ritual humiliation of grooms or strip clubs however a spot of hedonism, bonding with your mates and reliving your mis-spent earlier years with heavy drinking and drinking games before settling down to married life can be fun, (but obviously not for the holier than thous here who'd rather read an improving book in front of a log burner whilst drinking a pint of fair trade yoghurt)
reliving your mis-spent earlier years
Where are you from and what have you taken?
but obviously not for the holier than thous here who'd rather read an improving book in front of a log burner whilst drinking a pint of fair trade yoghurt
Nearly covered my screen in food there.
I've got a list somewhere of 50 challenges for the stag to complete all are fun and it keeps you all busy. Drop us an email if you want a copy sending over.
Eg
21. Wheelie a bike (2 points)
24. Pull your own pint in a pub. (1 point)
26. Get somebody to deep fry you a Kendal mint cake. (3 points)

This. My best man organised coasteering followed by a curry, pub crawl and a bad nightclub. Great time had by all.
Have a kitty
Best man in charge of kitty
Tequila with every round
Stand back and enjoy
Rules are for, well people who enjoy rules 😉
A couple of games, but no rules from me.
Drink will you think: Very straight forward, word or subject association, can link it together by initials (last letter of previous word becomes first letter of your word). While you're thinking of an answer you must be drinking.
Pub noughts and crosses. Expensive and will get you very drunk. Set out 9 pints on a table in a 3x3 grid and use them to play noughts and crosses. Someone is noughts, the other is crosses. Whoever is noughts makes a move by downing their pint. The person who is crosses makes a move by downing half of their pint. Whoever loses the game has to drink whatever beer is left on the table.
Or how about a game of [url= http://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/~phscz/misc/spoof.html ]spoof[/url] (not my website!)

I'd have run a mile from that; for pity's sake, the first sentence has a spelling mistake. And rules......nah, not for me.
Off to knit some sustainably-sourced yogurt.
ie ten bottles of Becks and line them up.
Well that's me out before even starting.
Assuming that MrsPJM1974 does eventually relent and let me marry her, then I'm going to have one of the dullest stag dos ever.
I'm attempting to quit boozing so it'll have to be a sober weekend of biking for me...
dullest stag dos eve
sober weekend of biking for me
There's a contradiction here!!
Never really 'got' drinking games myself....always seemed like it's trying to force the fun a little, just find a bar that's got a late enough license and drink....you'll get the same result.
Been on two decent stag-dos abroad, one in Prague which was understandably filth orientated....and one in Amsterdam which was drugs biased, i wont lie it was amusing watching mates who dont usually take drugs getting stoned.
Havent really needed any rules as nobody so far has been stupid enough to cheat while on a stag-do and not expect the others to talk about it once back home!
If I had a choice between going out on the town for a 'laddish' stag do or sitting infront of a log burner reading and drinking fairtrade youghurt, the latter would win 10 times out of 10....
Each to there own I guess!
My only rule is don't get into a fight or act like a total tit to anyone.
