spin the bottle
Adolescent party ritual
Spin the bottle is a party game where players sit in a circle and take turns spinning a bottle; whoever the bottle points to when it stops must kiss the spinner.
Popular among adolescents as a way to create kissing opportunities with plausible deniability: We played spin the bottle at Jessica's birthday party.
The game trades on chance to lower social risk.
