Play the hit by The Police – one team drinks to 'Roxanne', the other to 'red light'. Three minutes of intense suffering.
Roxanne is a legendary musical challenge that tests both your liver and your reflexes. The rules are simple: play the song 'Roxanne' by The Police and split into two teams. One team drinks every time Sting sings the name 'Roxanne', the other team drinks to the phrase 'red light'. It starts off easy, but once the chorus hits, the game turns into one long, never-ending sip. With 51 drinks split between the two teams, it’s the fastest way to get a party started.
Find the track 'Roxanne' by The Police on YouTube or Spotify. Split the group into two camps: Team Roxanne and Team Red Light.
Everyone starts with full glasses and listens closely. The dealer hits play.
Team Roxanne: You must take a sip every time the name 'Roxanne' is heard in the lyrics.
Team Red Light: You must take a sip every time Sting sings 'Red light'.
During the chorus, both phrases alternate at a rapid pace—prepare to barely take the glass away from your lips.
The game ends with the final notes of the song (approx. 3 minutes). Everyone still standing wins.
A hardcore version using the AC/DC song. Drink every time 'Thunder' is sung—one person drinks until the next 'Thunder' sounds, then the next person takes over.
If you feel like a fearless hero and one phrase isn't enough, drink to both key phrases by yourself. Those 51 sips will reliably take you down.
