Would You Rather: Drinking Game Edition (70+ Questions)

Would You Rather is one of the easiest party games to learn, but when you add drinks to the mix it becomes an entirely different experience. Every choice reveals something about your friends — and the minority always drinks. This guide gives you 70+ original questions organized into four categories, plus clear rules so you can start playing in seconds.

How Do You Play Would You Rather as a Drinking Game?

The rules are simple: one person reads a Would You Rather question, everyone picks a side, and the group in the minority takes a drink. If the split is perfectly even, everyone drinks. This mechanic keeps the game moving quickly and guarantees laughs because the pressure of drinking forces people to commit to their answer rather than sitting on the fence.

1. Sit in a circle with drinks ready. Designate who reads first.
2. The reader picks a Would You Rather question from the list below or from the Cheers & Fun app.
3. Everyone simultaneously points left or right (or holds up 1 or 2 fingers) to indicate their choice.
4. The group with fewer people drinks. If the split is even, everyone drinks.
5. The reader role passes clockwise. Repeat until the party is legendary.

What Are the Best Funny Would You Rather Questions for Drinking?

How Can You Make Would You Rather More Interesting?

The best WYR drinking games add layers beyond the basic minority-drinks rule. Here are five variations that keep the game fresh even after dozens of rounds.

1. Defend Your Choice: After revealing answers, the minority must explain their reasoning. If the majority finds the argument convincing, they drink instead.
2. Escalating Stakes: Each round, the drink penalty increases — first round is a sip, second is two sips, third is a gulp, and so on.
3. Dare Swap: Instead of drinking, the minority can choose to complete a dare suggested by the majority.
4. Anonymous Vote: Everyone writes their answer on a slip of paper. The reader guesses the split before revealing — if wrong, the reader drinks.
5. Speed Round: Set a 5-second timer. Anyone who doesn't answer in time drinks regardless of which side they would have chosen.
