NBA Drinking Game Rules and Dare Challenges

Here’s how to get your crew in the zone with the best drinking games:

Basic NBA Drinking Game Rules

Pre-Game Setup:

  1. Split into two teams—each picks a side to cheer for.
  2. Print or write out the drinking rules, or use Drinking Dojo’s custom tools.

During the Game:

  • Every basket scored: Take one sip.
  • Three-pointer made: Shooter’s team takes two sips; other team takes one.
  • Turnover: Player who last touched the ball picks someone for a dare challenge.
  • Personal foul: Everyone on the fouling team drinks.
  • Timeout: Quick-fire meme drinking games—pass around a meme and the person who laughs first drinks.
  • Buzzer-beater: Last-second shot? Everyone finishes their drink!

Dare Challenges For Extra Hype in Your Party Drinking Games

Mix things up with these wild dare challenges:

  • Missed Free Throw: Attempt a goofy dance or down a shot.
  • Technical Foul: NSFW dares—think truth-or-dare with a twist.
  • Injury Timeout: The person most recently injured (even a paper cut counts) gets to assign drinks or dares.
