Bottle Bowling

Bowling with empty bottles: lowest score or stepping over the line means drinking.

How to play

Set up 5 to 9 empty bottles like bowling pins. Two more bottles mark the throwing line.

Each player gets two throws. The pins knocked down in both throws form a two-digit number (e.g. 3 and 5 = 35).

  • Step over the line while throwing and you drink.
  • Lowest number at the end drinks double.

Agree on drinks and amounts before you start. The game works just as well without alcohol.
