Welcome to the third installment of a series of 5 articles all about winning free drinks from your friends! Remember to leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

If you really don’t want to buy the next round of drinks for your friends, you need to place a bet. A proposition bet to be more precise. This is the kind of bet that makes the other person think ones who can win, when you know that you are almost always going to come out in your favor.

This is one of my favourite ways to get free drinks. I call it “Drink Me If You Can” but I’m sure there is a proper name for it somewhere I just have never come across it and I like the sound of mine. You need to be pretty good a downing one pint quickly to win this one, but once the first pint is down you can take as long as you need.

The way you play this bet, is to say that you bet they can’t drink 6 shots (of orange juice) before you drink 3 pints of beer (or water). Seems like they are definitely going to win right? Wrong.

Tell them that the only rules are that no one can touch anyone else’s glass or drink. Simple.

You then start drinking! They will probably get through 3 shots minimum when you have downed your first pint. Then they might start acting very cocky, that’s fine…who cares, the more they act like this the better for you!

When you have finished, quickly place your pint glass over one of their remaining shot glasses. You win. If they try to move it, they are breaking the rules. Of course, you need to pick your target carefully, make sure they’re not the kind of person who will be clever and drink them all first.

Hope you enjoyed this method, one of the easiest to pull off in my opinion!
