Coin Basketball

Coin on your palm, slap the table edge, flip it into a cup – miss and you drink.

Put four cups in the middle of the table and sit around it.

Take turns placing a coin on your open hand and hitting the underside of the table edge with your fingers so the coin flies into a cup. Keep going until someone misses.

Whoever misses drinks as many sips as there are coins in the cups. Coins in the middle cup count double.
