Flip cup

Dexterity and Physical Skill Games

Flip cup is a team-based drinking game in which players must, in turn, drain a plastic cup of beer and then flip the cup so that it lands face-down on the table. If the cup falls off the table, any player can return it to the playing field. Several flip cup tournaments have been held in the United States. A 2017 survey by the American Addiction Centers found flip cup to be the most quickly intoxicating drinking game among those surveyed, with participants able to reach a theoretical blood alcohol content of 0.08, the legal driving limit, within 20 minutes of play.
