#1: Keg Stand - you can drop the spigot, but usually someone else is holding it, so it sprays - can be messy

#2: Shot Gun - well, this can just get messy too, but you can also plug the hole with your tongue if it is too fast (this is done with a beer can and has nothing to do with the keg - practice with a coke first if you feel you must)

#3: Funnel - another one that you can plug with your tongue - but if your tongue is too small, well, then that could be messy as well - make sure to hold the funnel well above your head for maximum funnellage.

#4: Ice Luge - provided you have someone only pouring a normal sized shot in the luge part, then you should be all set - no different than drinking a shot, but for the fact you are sitting below the funnel-y part. (Note: beware of people pouring more than a shot's worth - can get messy and super drunk)

#5: Pumping the keg - if the beer starts pouring slowly, make sure to pump the keg - this involves quickly pushing the tap plunger up and down in a repeated motion.

#6: Tapping the keg - this is best left to an experienced party-goer. Find that person and learn from them.

#7: Drinking Games - there are many games played to enhance the speed at which you are imbibing alcohol. Some of them are as follows:

• Flip Cup - best played outdoors - need solo cups, teams, and lots of beer; players compete in a relay to drink shots of beer and then flip their solo cups upside down before other team. (regional rules may apply)
• Beer Pong - need two ping pong balls, solo cups, two to four players and lots of beer; players each take turns tossing ping pong balls into opponents solo cups (filled with beer shots and arranged in a six solo cup pyramid) first team to eliminate all solo cups for other team wins. (regional rules may apply - possibly including tackling)
• 3 Man - need at least 3 players and two die (wait, that sounds bad) how about a pair of dice; each sequence of rolled numbers means something different - look up the actual rules online when you are not already drunk.
• Kings/Categories - need a deck of cards; as for rules, they really vary dependent upon where you are. Hopefully someone at the party will have an acceptable knowledge of the games
• Quarters/Speed Quarters - need quarters and drinking glasses; players bounce quarters into glasses and tell other players to drink if they are successful; speed quarters is similar, but you play on teams in a relay - losing team has to drink
• Asshole - need a deck of cards; now, I have never, ever played this game sober so I don't really ever remember the actual rules. I know one player is the asshole and that person has some sucky duties. Another player is President, VP, secretary and so forth. Other than that, my memory is really hazy. Please look it up on the Internet OR hope that an upperclassman can show you the ropes.
