Milking cows? Seducing gorillas? Shaving your face? How could these games even be considered fun? Well, chances are if you and your friends are drunk beyond belief then not only would they be enjoyable to play but would also be hysterical. Admit it, when you’ve had one too many even the silliest things seems like comedy gold.

Its doubtful most of us will ever reach the level of top tier chefs like Gordon Ramsay, but thanks to this co-op cooking game and a hell of a lot of booze, we get the next best thing. Playing across various sections that range from your average kitchen to inside moving trucks, players have to work in sync in order to prepare, cook and serve rapid-fire dishes to demanding customers. As such it requires a certain amount of focus and skill…which goes right out the window after a few drinks. It may be a cooking massacre but at least it’ll be fun!

Be careful, this game has been known to break a few friendships, so god only knows what will happen if you add alcohol to the mix. One thing is certain, you’re driving skills aren’t going to be as up to scratch as you’d think. While players would normally be relying on angle and timing in order to nail skilful goals with their machine of choice, drunken participants are most likely going to turn the whole thing into one awesome game of bumper cars. It’ll be more messy than flashy, but each game is bound to be a barrel of drunken laughs.

If you thought you had a habit of messing around in GTA’s massive online world before, then just wait until you end up plastered. Get a few friends together, and with every drink you’ll end up just that more tempted to raise as much chaos as possible. Waging war against the increasing waves of armed forces, shooting your friends while their back is turned, stealing a jet and trying to pull off ridiculous stunts in the air, the fun times practically write themselves with this one.

There’s always that one person who thinks that with the inclusion of alcohol they suddenly have a voice of epic proportions, one that the whole world should hear. Luckily the Singstar franchise was made for just these situations. Whether you’re actually trying to hit all those notes to Someone Like You or just feel like bellowing out the lyrics to Let it Go as a group, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’re going to be off the mark a little. Still, nothing brings people together quite like a drunk karaoke!

Not only will it be a genuine challenge depending on how much alcohol is in your system, but will probably be the funniest sight in the world for any casual viewers watching the whole thing go down. Strike a pose! WHOOOOO!!!!!
