Get the flipcup mug.A beer game played at many parties or tournaments. There are at least four people on each of the two teams. They are lined up on each side facing each other, each person having one cup of beer each filled anywhere from 1/4-1/2 full. The "starter" faces his opponent, cheers with him, and chugs a beer. Next he must put his cup right side up on the table with it hanging off the edge just barely. Using your hands or fingers you must flip the cup on its top (half a rotation). After one person has completed the cycle, the next person in line may go. The team that finishes first wins.
There is also a version where the losing team has to vote out one person (survival mode). The remaining of the losing team must pick up the slack and drink the same amount of beer. Alot of people are saying to themselves right now "What happens when there is only one person left?". Trust me, I have beat 4 people by myself. It all depends on how fast you can chug and flip.
The version of Flip Cup that we play here (NCSU and UNC-CH) is what I would like to call a "hardcore relay" version. I am not sure if anybody has ever played this way, because when I come into contact with other Flip Cup players, they play the standard way. The same rules apply as they do in the original version. The exception is everybody has TWO cups instead, filled with the same amount of beer. The person at the end of the table is no longer the "finisher" but yet the "anchorman". The "starter" now becomes the "finisher" also. The game starts as usual, the Starter cheering w/ his opponent, and the relay goes down the line the in the proper order. When it gets to the person at the end of the table opposite of the starter (left/right), that person (Anchorman) will drink and flip both their cups in ONE turn. Then the relay heads back the other way towards the starter/finisher again, ending the game. This version takes twice as long, but will also get you twice as drunk. The emphasis on the Starter/Finisher and the Anchorman is crucial to winning.
The great thing about this game is that is totally opposite of games like beer pong where the winner drinks less. In Flip Cup the people that win are most likely going to be the drunk people, seeing that they finish first. The losers just drink last and occasionally you can get them to do some beer bitch duties such as pour the winning teams beer, let you borrow their beer, or go get your beer for you.

Get the Flip Cup mug.A version of flip cup played by a room full of bros and preferably without shirts. Cups must be filled to the brim. This may or may not induce intense vomiting.
After a game of full beer flip cup, half the room chanted "FULL BEER...FLIP CUP" while the other shirtless bros puked in the corner.

Get the full beer flip cup mug.A variation of the game flip cup. Chinese flip cup is set up with sets of partners lined up across from each other along a table. Each partner has 2 cups, one with beer in it (flip cup amount) and one empty "catching" cup.
In chinese flip cup, the goal is not to flip your cup onto the table after drinking, but instead to flip your cup so that your partner across from you can catch your cup inside of their own. Once this is accomplished, your partner drinks from their beer cup, and then tries to flip it back across the table into your catching cup. The team of partners to flip and catch both directions first, wins.

My friends and I got so good at Chinese flip cup, that missing one flip guaranteed you would not win.

Get the Chinese flip cup mug.Now known as "Batavia Downs" Indian Run Flip Cup is popular game of flip cup in which there is no winner or winning team only a losing player. Takes place around a circular table with at least four players. Two players standing opposite of each other, start at the same time. As each player successfully flips their cup the next person to their right proceeds. After each successful flip, players must refill their cup in the event that the player standing directly left of them successfully lands their cup. The game continues as a circular race until a player is unable to successfully flip their cup, before the person directly to their left flips theirs.

Get the [full beer flip cup] mug.A variation of Traditional Flip Cup designed with the purpose of making the participants unable to continue drinking. It normally involves only two participants and 5-8 cups per side, each filled with a full beer.
The Party almost had a fight break out, but they made them settle things over River Kwai Flip Cup. After that, they were too drunk to stand.
