Drinking games - Give One, Take One.

You need a deck of cards. Before playing, the deck is shuffled and cut.

The host is original dealer. Dealer changes each time the last card is flipped on the deck.

Each player is dealt 3 cards, face up. The dealer asks the person to their right, "give or take?" (We will pretend the individual said give). The first card remaining on the deck is turned face up. Any player that has the matching card instructs any player of their choice to take a drink. They must comply. If the player with the matching card has two of the same card, the player may instruct two different individuals to take a drink, or may "give" both drinks to one individual.

The next card is turned over "give 2". Any player having that matching card instructs another player to take 2 drinks. Next card, "give 3".

Next card is "take 1". You got it. If you have a matching card, you take a drink. Of course, if you have 2 matching cards, double whatever number you are on.

Continue "give 2, give 3", and start all over with "take 1". When the deck is completely flipped, pass the deck to the next dealer.

When you can no longer read the cards, stop playing!
