Truth or Drink

Answer the question honestly — or take a drink and keep your secrets. Simple, revealing, and dangerously fun.

Category: drinking · Players: 2-10 · Duration: 20-60 min · Difficulty: easy

Rules

Players take turns asking each other questions — the spicier the better.
The asked player either answers truthfully or takes a drink to skip.
No lying: if the group catches a lie, the liar drinks double.
Keep questions moving — 30 seconds max to decide.

Set up before the first turn

Bring Drinks, Question ideas. Gather 2-10 and place everything where all players can reach it before the first round.

Example first round

For a sample opening, the host reads the first instruction: “Players take turns asking each other questions — the spicier the better.” Once that is complete, continue with: “The asked player either answers truthfully or takes a drink to skip.” Treat this first pass as practice if anyone is unsure.

Host it well

Decide on alcohol-free forfeits and a no-questions-asked pass rule before the first turn. Nobody should be pressured to drink.
Keep the explanation brief and start with a demonstration rather than repeating the written rules.
Plan for about 20-60 min, but finish at the end of a good round if the group's attention starts to drop.
