How to play “Baseball” Drinking Game

Baseball isn’t just about throwing a ball or swinging a bat. In this drinking game, you’ll need hand-eye coordination, teamwork, and quick reflexes to come out on top.

To play the Baseball drinking game, you will need:

• 14 drinking cups
• At least one ping pong ball (we recommend more so you don’t have to keep retrieving them)
• A long, rectangular table to play on
• Your favorite alcoholic beverage (we recommend beer)
• At least 4 players (ideally 8 players) to make 2 teams

How to set up

The “Baseball” drinking game requires preparation before the game begins. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Place the cups on the table:

Place 4 cups each at the center of both ends, forming two lines of cups, one for each team. Then, above and below this line, at their centers, place 3 cups each, which serve as the bases. There will be 14 cups in total.

2. Fill the 8 cups with water:

Fill the 8 cups (4 at each side) with water halfway. This will keep them steady and prevent them from being knocked over easily.

3. Fill the 6 cups along the side of the table with an alcoholic drink of your choice:

Fill the 6 cups along the side of the table with any alcoholic drink. We recommend using beer for the “Baseball” drinking game as it’s easy to drink and tends not to make people too drunk!

4. Decide the teams:

Decide which team will be the home team and which will be the away team. This can be done using various methods, such as flipping a coin or rock-paper scissors. The away team goes first.

5. Position your defense:

The defense team positions a player at each cup on the right side of the table and one behind the end of the table. You can take turns or decide before the game begins who will defend which cup.

Gameplay

Once you have everything set up, you’re ready to start playing the game! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play the “Baseball” drinking game:

1. Throw a ping-pong ball into one of the opposing team’s cups

The batter stands behind their team’s end of the table and tries to throw the ping-pong ball into one of the four cups at the opposite end of the table.

Depending on which cup the ping-pong ball lands in, different rules apply to the batter:

• The ball lands in the first cup: The player may proceed to the first base, the first cup on their side of the table.
• The ball lands in the second cup: The player may proceed to the second base, the second cup on their side of the table.
• The ball lands in the third cup: The player may proceed to the third base, the third cup on their side of the table.
• The ball lands in the fourth cup: The player scores a run and earns one point for their team.
• If the ball lands in a cup, the owner of the cup has to drink 🍻: If the ball lands in any of the four cups, the player who owns that cup has to take a sip of their drink.

2. The batter is out if…

Certain conditions can lead to the batter being out, and the next player on their team has to take their turn. The batter is out if:

• they miss the cup three times
• they miss the table
• a player of the opposite team catches the ball

3. After three outs, the teams switch.

After three players on the same team are out, the teams switch offense and defense. Now, it’s the other team’s turn to be on offense, while the first team is now on defense.

4. You can earn a point by challenging your opponent to play a round of flip cup.

The batter can challenge their opponent to a round of flip cups at any time. All they have to do is drink their cup and then place it upside down on the table’s edge. The opponent then has to do the same.

• If the opponent manages to drink their cup and flip it over before the batter does, the batter is out.
• If the batter manages to drink their cup and flip it over before the opponent does, they earn one point for their team.

5. The team with the most points win!

Keep playing the “Baseball” drinking game until a certain score is reached, or play for a certain amount of time. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!
