About Couples Drinking Games
Most couples drinking games are party games with six people missing. These 15 rounds take the mechanics that make Ring of Fire, waterfall and categories work and rebuild them for exactly two players, which mostly means putting the decision on an individual rather than a group.
Sample questions to get you started
- 1Categories: pick a topic, alternate answers, whoever hesitates drinks.
- 2Waterfall for two: both drink until the person who started stops.
- 3Rhyme: one says a word, alternate rhymes, first to fail drinks.
- 4Never have I ever, three rounds, sip instead of fingers.

How to play Couples Drinking Games
- Take turns reading a round and both play it.
- Each round states its own rule.
- Pick your finish line first: ten rounds, or one drink each.
- Water between rounds — two-player games move faster than party ones.
Why couples love this game
Group drinking games rely on someone else taking the round. With two players every round lands, so the rules have to be gentler and the questions have to be better. That is the trade, and it makes for a considerably more interesting evening.
Tips to make it more fun
- Eat first — two-player games move faster than group ones.
- Any forfeit works in place of a drink.
- Play early evening.
- Stop the moment it stops being fun.
Frequently asked questions
What drinking games work for two people?
Ones where each round lands on an individual rather than a group. Categories, rhyme, waterfall and truth or drink all adapt; anything requiring a majority or a circle does not.
Do we need anything to play?
Two drinks and a phone. Every round states its own rule, so there are no cards and nothing to remember.
