drinking

Drinking games serve as great bonding experiences. Sure, you don't need to drink to have fun, but it sure makes it a helluva lot more fun. The cool thing about drinking games is that there are always new ideas, no matter how ridiculous they are. Surprisingly enough, you can count on Twitter for the most innovative drinking game ideas, whether it has to do with TV shows or merely existing. Scroll down for our picks of the week. 

We're all about getting turnt for the weekend, but we're desperate to spice things up a bit this time around. We've played Kings and Stack Cup one too many times, and we're on the prowl for more drinking games to choose from. Lucky for us, the people of Twitter come up with hilariously fun drinking games to try every day, and we're always open to trying new things. So cheers to the start of something new, and to avoiding hangovers till the end of time! 

Getting sh*t-faced over the weekend is one of our favorite pastimes, other than watching bad reality TV and sleeping in. But please don't let us near our phones while we're in the midst of our drinking escapades! We're bound to send something out that we greatly regret. The drinkers of Twitter know this type of mortification all too well, and they tweeted about their experiences, which should serve as a cautionary tale to all the hot messes out there. If you're planning on drinking this weekend, have a good friend hold onto your phone for you. You'll be grateful for this tip the morning after. 

You thought hot girl summer was all about splitting your time between rooftop bar happy hours, numerous f*ckboys, and occasionally breaking a sweat against your will. And it totally is. However, there also happen to be some granola-eating hippies out there that think summer represents becoming one with nature and going on hikes?! And the worst part is that some of your friends identify with these freaks! The horror! Last you checked, you didn't sign up for this Kumbaya sh*t. However, you're a team player, so you're willing to go on one hike. But that's it. You know your limits, and you can't handle more than one. Alas, what if you don't make it through this one hike? Mercury seems to always be in retrograde, so you really never know what can go wrong when the stars are always out to get you. Not to worry, Cheezcake babes - we got you covered with top-notch tips to make it through that one hellish hike. 

Hot girl summer is here, which means long drunken weekends, and hangovers galore. We know how it goes; you tell yourself you won't go as hard as you did last time because you can't keep waking up with your head in the toilet with no idea how you got home from the club. But somehow, it's next time, and you're waking up with your head in the toilet AGAIN, unable to piece together the night before. You have hazy memories of a cute guy, way too many tequila shots, and spilling your life story to the Uber driver, but you could be confusing it with last time. If this sounds familiar in any way, these memes will speak to you in a way that only an alcoholic-in-denial will understand.

Breaking news: the walk of shame is officially nothing to be ashamed about. We would say you heard it here first, but you probably heard it on Twitter first. People openly tweet about their personal walks of shame on a weekly basis, many of which have nothing to do with the morning after sex. When people publicly broadcast their most shameful moments, it doesn't really seem like they're especially ashamed of it. Hence, the walk of shame has transitioned to the walk of fame. Does your walk of fame moment compare to the ones below? Let us know in the comments. 

Sometimes we put a lot of thought into what we order at the bar. Do we want something sweet? Salty? Citrus? Strong? Smokey? Cheap AF? If you're an indecisive queen you probably ask for a little bit of each category, or you just beg your friend to go ahead and order for you so you can avoid any kind of unneccesary social interaction. Whatever your tactic is, we don't judge you, but it appears that bartenders do.

The infamous walk of shame has become a staple in American pop culture. These days, some people on Twitter have been calling it "the stride of pride," claiming that getting D last night is nothing to be ashamed about. But the walk of shame often has nothing to do with sex. They could just be related to the many shameful moments in people's lives. We documented this week's most clever tweets about the walk of shame, including sex-related tweets, and tweets that have literally nothing to do with sex. 

Wedding season is officially upon us, ladies and gents! I don't know about y'all, but I'm personally excited about spending my savings on the ridiculously overpriced wedding registry in exchange for semi-hot groomsmen and unlimited open bars. We recently uncovered a two-year-old Reddit thread about the trashiest weddings people have been to, and boy, these are some crazy stories. Trashy weddings seem to be most entertaining, and I hope we're all lucky enough to score an invite this summer. 

Drinking is such a fun power trip. We seriously feel like we're on top of the world when we're drunk. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and if you fail at drinking responsibly, you'll end up with a horrible hangover. Nothing is worth feeling and looking like sh*t in the morning. NOTHING. The drinkers of Twitter know the consequences of heavy drinking all too well. In the tweets below, they speak the truth. Let these tweets serve as a cautionary tale for your next big night out. 

Back in the college days, we were all about hard liquor - vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum, you name it. But then we grew up and became adults, who unfortunately can't handle our liquor like we once could once upon a time in our youth. For this reason, God introduced the wonderful concept of wine. You could drink copious amounts of wine and still go to work the next day with full spirits and energy. Wine drunk works for any time, and Twitter is well-aware. It's a bountiful blessing to us all, hence we must consume it at least once a week. Scroll down for this week's wittiest wine drunk tweets. 

It's been one helluva year, one that we're praying we'll never experience again. Instead, let's make it one helluva summer, ladies! We're looking good, we're feeling good, and there's no time like the present to have a jolly good time. No more quarantine, no more toxic people, and no sunburns - only bomb tans. This summer is all about you, boo! So start acting like it with this cute little list I compiled especially for you below. 

Just in time for hot girl summer, we're all out and about on the town again, which means we're moving drinks in the living room to drinks at the club. In case you've forgotten how social interactions at the club work (or how social interactions work in general), ya girl is here to refresh your memory. To optimize your night out, you need to know who to befriend, and who to look out for. Because I'm such a good friend, I've compiled a list of eight types of guys you meet at the club so you can prepare adequately before getting too intoxicated to tell the difference. Always remember the golden rule, Cheezcakers: prep yourself before you wreck yourself. 

It's so nice to let loose with a drink or two after a long, hard week on the grind. But what happens when you take the drinks too far, and suddenly the alcohol has taken over your entire being? That's the moment where your phone should be confiscated to prevent your drunk alter ego from sending out ridiculously embarrassing messages that you'll never be able to take back. We recently uncovered an old Reddit thread about the best-drunk texts people have received, and the responses are golden. Reminder to y'all to never drink and text. Stay safe out there. 

Cheers to the freakin' weekend! In honor of Saturday, we've uncovered a 7-year-old Reddit thread in which Redditors offer up their favorite drinking games. Who's ready to go hard or go home?! Scroll down and let us know if there's an awesome drinking game that isn't on the list. As always, drink responsibly. 

Another long, hard week grinding at work calls for an equally fun weekend drinking! If you're the kinda girl who likes to spice things up, we're all about revamping the drinking game for ya this weekend. We just stumbled upon a 4-year-old Reddit thread in which people share their favorite drinking games, and we are oh, so excited to play 'em! Don't see your favorite drinking game listed? Share it with us in the comments so we could drink with ya.
