flip cup

Party drinking race

Flip cup is a drinking game where teams race to empty cups of beer and flip them upside down by flicking the rim.

Players line up on opposite sides of a table, each person drinking and flipping in turn before the next teammate can start: We played flip cup at the tailgate.

A staple of American college parties.
