Tips & Strategies

Choose shorter, high-action tracks to keep the game dynamic and the penalties flowing. For time trials, set a specific benchmark time that players must beat to avoid drinking penalties. If playing simultaneously, track who finishes races last and assign them one drink per position they dropped relative to the winner. Avoid picking tracks with excessive hazards, as repeated failures can lead to over-drinking unintentionally.

Variations

Penalty Pit Stops: Players must finish a shot before restarting after an off-track penalty or crash, with the timer paused during drinking.. Draft Drinking: Players in the drafting position (closely following another racer) must sip their drink until they successfully overtake or fall behind again.. Turbo Chug Challenge: Every time a player uses a boost or turbo, they must take a large sip of their drink immediately after activating it.
