drunk uno!

ok so it's been a really long time since i had a good game of drunk uno.  and i'm feeling that needs to change.  if you have never had the pleasure/misfortune of playing drunk uno, you really are missing out.  drunk uno is a creation that me, jefe, and some other friends came up with one weekend in college, further proving that anything can be turned into a drinking game if enough alcohol is involved.  we were all pretty tipsy when the games started, and all ended up shit faced drunk by the time it was over.  i won/lost depending on how you look at it.  it came down to me and jefe (the two most borderline alcholic members of our group), and while i technically lost the game of uno, i had consumed the most alcohol in doing so.  so overall, win for me.  the rules are pretty simple.  basically anything other than a number card has a swig attached to it.  if you get skipped, you drink.  if it gets reversed back to you, you drink.  if you play a draw two, the next person drinks two.  and we play where you can stack draw two cards, so you can get fucked if you're the only person without one.  i think i had to drink eight at one point.  if you play a wild card, the next person drinks.  if it's a wild card with a draw four, they drink four.  if you have an uno and forget to call it, you drink seven.  if you can't make a play, you drink however many cards you have to draw.  over all, pretty simple and way more fun than most other drinking games.

i do have two pieces of advice if you ever want to play this game.  the first would be to have some way of keeping track of who's turn it is.  this game gets you fucked up fast, even if you're drinking less hard core stuff than jefe and i do.  and believe me, you will forget which direction you are playing.  the second piece of advice comes from experience.  do not make the same mistake jefe and i did.  buy waterproof cards.  they are worth the extra $3.00.
