Except the people who don't drink and aren't excited about hanging out with drunk people.

It's like in 300- someone must survive to tell their story...or rather someone must stay sober to witness the antics and piece together events

Sometimes it's just fun to watch, said the guy standing off to one side with ginger ale in his beer cup.

Like, have you ever looked at nails in a tree stump? Like, REALLY looked? And then tried to hit them?

--- End quote ---
I think the point was one spectacular dramatic moment. Probably more entertainment packed into that one second than would have been in playing the game out slowly. (And they can always stick the nails back in, so nothing's really lost.)
--- Quote from: mustang6172 on 15 Jan 2014, 20:45 ---Drinking games never made sense to me. Is the purpose to consume your beverage or regulate how others consume?
--- End quote ---
The logic of drinking games is very counterintuitive.
Drinks are always consumed as a penalty by the loser; the goal, as expressed in the rules of the game, is always to get the other players to drink. Since people who play drinking games like drinking and getting drunk, why are the games set up so this supposedly desirable, fun activity is "forced" on people as a "punishment"?
Could this have originated in some sort of guilt or desire to deny responsibility? So that instead of saying you drank half a bottle of vodka because you chose to, you can say you had to do it because your friends kept hitting your nails?

Perhapsh .. perhaps it ties into my point above: However much fun you might say it is to be drunk yourself, it's still more fun to see others drunker than you.
