Let’s face it: everyone loves animated movies, whether it’s nostalgia or simply the bright colors and pleasantries, which are a welcome change from the grave adult movies we’re expected to enjoy.
But there is a way you can make watching movies such as Cars more suitable for adults by turning it into a drinking game. There you go, now you don’t have to feel ashamed to watch your favorite cartoon movie.
So, in this guide, I will walk you through the Cars drinking game and give you some inspiration on when to drink before, of course, taking you through some safe ways to play. That way, we keep everyone safe and can ensure all your friends and family enjoy your party.
Let’s hit the road.
What You’ll Need to Play Cars Drinking Game?
You’ll be glad to know minimal equipment is needed to get stuck into the Car’s drinking game.
Of course, you’ll need the booze. It’s pretty vital. Otherwise, it’s just you and your mates sitting around watching Lightening Mcqueen race around town.
Next, you’ll need something to drink out of. The last time I played, I ordered these themed plastic party cups. They went down well and impressed the guests.
The other pretty obvious thing you’ll need is a way of watching the movie. You can download Cars on Amazon Prime, or you might already have it on DVD if you’re a die-hard fan and like to do things old school.
Now you’re fuelled with everything you need to play the Cars-drinking game.
How to Play Cars Drinking Game? Rules and Gameplay
Firstly, you will need to plan the game before you hit play. Otherwise, nobody will know when to drink, and it can turn into chaos, so planning is essential.
Between yourselves, set the rules for when and what you’ll drink at each trigger point.
If you can’t think of any off the top of your head, don’t worry; I’ll give you some ideas in a moment.
Some things to consider here are how much you drink.
For example, if the trigger is “drink when you see Lightening Mcqueen,” this will happen frequently, so it’s not advised to take a full shot or finish your drink. Instead, take a sip. But this is all based on common sense, so think about that before you make the rules.
