"Are you thirsty" is a drinking game similar to speed quarters.
It is named "Are you thirsty" because anytime someone is in position to win they say "Are you thirsty?" to the player about to
loose (who drinks). This is often repeated and a key part of
the game, similar to saying "UNO" in UNO.
To play a group of alcoholics sit around a
table, each with a
cup of beer used as a "backboard" for the 2 lowball glasses used to bounce a quarter into.
When each round starts the 2 players with the lowball glasses in front of them attempt to bounce a quarter into the lowball. If the quarter lands in any
glass other than a lowball, then the shooter must drink whatever is in the glass, if the shooter makes it then the lowball, then it is passed on to the next person. The two lowballs circle the
table untill both lowballs reach the same person. At this point the player who now has both lowballs has one final "rebutal" shot to keep the round going. If they
fail on their rebutal then they
loose and must take a shot before the next round starts.
A loosing player is not given a rebuttal shot if they were asked immediately before "Are you thirsty?" by the other shooter.
Anytime you are 1 shot away from catching the other shooter it is optimal strategy to ask "hey ____, are you thirsty?"
Right before you force them to drink.
There are many rules and variations that different groups adopt including use of cards, matches, throwing knives, etc, all to keep
the game exciting.
