Things like 'drink two fingers of your drink', 'have a shot' or 'kiss the person to your right' work well, or you can go as wild or lowkey as you want. The more you play, the drunker you'll get, and the more clumsy your game will be. Sit in a circle with a deck of cards, faced downwards. Take it in turns to be the dealer of the cards, who holds the pack of cards in their hands. The dealer turns one card face up, and reads the details out to the group.
Seven of hearts. The person to the left of the dealer must now decide whether the next number is going to be higher or lower than a seven Jack, Queen, King, Ace are high. If they get it right, the dealer drinks, and the next person to the left picks higher or lower. The game keeps going - with the dealer drinking each time someone gets an answer right - until someone gets it wrong, and the person to the left then becomes the dealer.
Another game which involves sitting in a circle and using a pack of cards. This is quite a similar set up to 'screw the dealer', except this time the person doing the higher or lower guessing has to do the drinking. Lay 15 cards out in a triangle shape on a table one at the top, followed by two below it, three below that, four below that and then finally five. The player turns one of the bottom five cards over, and then must choose one of the four above it at random, saying whether it will be higher or lower.
If it is higher, they repeat the pattern until they get to the one card at the top. If they guess correctly, they don't have to drink. If they get one wrong, they have to drink as many fingers of their drink as rows left. Replace the cards used with ones from the pack, and move onto the next player. Keep going until everyone has finally won or, er, is drunk enough not to have another go.
If you're a fan of drunk jenga, this is one for you, too. The best bit? It's super simple. Just place an empty glass in the middle of a table where every player can reach it and fill it with a drink of your choice.
Then, lay out a deck of cards face down around the cup. When it's your go, all you need to do is grab a card and place it on the glass, making sure at least the corners are hanging off. If you touch someone else's card in the process - drink; if your card falls off - two sips of your drink; if three or less cards fall off the stack - that's three sips.
If you really fluff it up and knock six or more cards off, you've lost the game and the forfeit is downing the drink in the glass in the middle. A new twist on an old classic - wink murder.
We're sure everyone knows the standard rules but let's recap. In each round, one person is secretly assigned the role of murderer. This person has the ability to "kill" other players by making eye contact and winking at them. When you're winked at, you have to feign sudden death. Except, in this version, you take a sip of your drink instead.
Genius, huh? Again, a take on a house party game we all know and love unless you find it super awkward, that is. The options are simple, you choose to give an honest answer to a question posed by one of your fellow drinkers, otherwise - instead of doing a dare - you take a drink. A super easy option that doesn't even require cards - perfect for last-minute pre-drinks. To start, every player chooses a hand motion for themselves, think peace sign, Madonna Vogue hands, let your imagination run free.
When everyone thumps at the table, the game is in play and the starting player does their own hand action, then someone else's, while the others continue thumping. The person whose hand action was done repeats this pattern, and so on.
Whoever gets mixed up with the gestures or takes too long to react takes a drink. Ever tried to keep yourself from laughing when you're a bit tipsy, only to find that makes things x funnier? This game taps into that exact feeling. Players write sentences on pieces of paper, with the aim of making others laugh at the contents.
Mix up those scraps of paper, chuck them in the middle, and players then take it turns to pick one out and read it aloud, while trying to keep a straight face. If you can't manage it, you guessed it, it's time to drink. If you've completely exhausted every drinking game possible, but you still fancy a bit of organised fun, this is the perfect way to go.
Whilst it's not necessarily a game, it still requires skill and memory - something that's slightly harder when you're a bit tipsy. All you have to do is carry on socialising as normal, but with a few added rules that can mix up the night a little. Essentially, if you break the rules, you drink, and if you don't break the rules, you stay sober all night. Which one would you prefer?

It's totally normal for couples to start taking one another for granted. It's also totally normal for couples to stop trying to woo their partner.
So get back to the gym, get back to your hobbies. Dress better, and treat your spouse like you did when you were first dating. Even if you got married for the wrong reasons, that doesn't mean you can't make your marriage work.
That doesn't mean that "work" can't be fulfilling and rewarding. But it's naive to think you can just coast once they've said "I do".
The best marriages maintain mystery and romance, decades after saying their vows, and yours should too. Millions of Americans have found comfort in pet ownership. The media has been awash with stories about a surge in pet ownership, as Americans have taken advantage of the ability of pets to improve emotional well-being. America is going through a mental health crisis.
This crisis predates the global pandemic, but has in many ways been dramatically exacerbated by it. In , The emotional toll of the pandemic has been heavy, with over half of U. Anxieties over work, uncertainty about the future and other triggers have intensified the mental health crisis.
The direct, emotional benefits of owning a pet go beyond owning traditional pets such as dogs. For instance, one study compared the effects of keeping a rabbit, a turtle and a toy on the emotional well-being of stressed adults. Whereas the toy had no effect on the emotional well-being of these adults, stroking the rabbit or turtle helped ease the stress levels of these adults.
It seems that forming a connection with a living creature is the important thing. Another study showed that even keeping crickets could help boost emotional well-being.
The key to improved emotional well-being seems to be the regenerative powers of exercising compassion and taking care of another living creature.
Feeding it, taking it to the veterinarian , making sure it gets the right exercise, and other such things, are good for your emotional well-being. Research suggests that dogs, and more broadly, pets, are more than just trusting friends. There are physical benefits to living with a pet, varying from improved cardiovascular health and increased physical activity -someone has to walk that dog!
Overall, pet owners have a lower risk of dying from diseases such as cardiovascular disease, than non-pet owners. This is true even when you adjust for factors such as body mass index, smoking and socioeconomic status.
In fact, research shows that pet ownership is linked to longer, healthier lives. If you want the secret to a long life, getting a pet should be high on your list. Well, it works the other way round, too: a healthy body, a healthy mind. With better physical health, comes improved emotional well being.
The physical benefits of pet ownership are especially true for people who live alone. People who live alone are at a higher risk of early death than people who live with others. This is because pets are great companions who, because they are so dependent on their owners, prevent their owners from slipping into depression or feeling lonely and not taking care of their health. Having a pet prompts greater levels of physical activity and healthier living.
You changed into your pajamas, turn off the lights, and get yourself ready to sleep. How do you prefer to sleep, on the back, on your side, or on your tummy? Sleeping on your side , especially left side, is thought to have many benefits to your overall health.
This sleeping position allows your organs to get rid of toxins, and help relief chronic lower back pain. Now, this is a very common sleeping position, but incredibly painful to some people, as it causes lower back pain.
If you already experience back pain, sleeping on your back will make it even worse. If you snore, it will increase that problem, too. Do you like to sleep on your tummy, but experience problems oftentimes? The position might not help you. It can tense your neck and your lower back.
But if this is how you like to sleep, you might consider using a very soft cooling pillow to keep your neck comfortable. This is a kind of a weird sleeping position, but very common. Studies have shown that people who sleep like this may be quieter and more relaxed.
Lying on your back with your arms tight to your body is actually a good sleeping position, as it helps maintain your spine in a straight line. Starfish is when you lie on your back and sleep with your arms lifted up near your head. Sleeping in a starfish position may induce lower back pain, which interferes with your normal sleep.
If you experience back pain, consider placing a pillow under your knees, so you can align the natural curve of your spine. And there really is no better time to celebrate than by throwing the ultimate winter bash.
