What the game is trying to do
“I’m Not Drunk” style nights are bluff-and-prompt parties: players claim composure while prompts get sillier. The fun is performance, not actual impairment. Offer zero-proof sips and hard passes from minute one.
Setup
- 18+ invite language.
- Food + water first.
- Post skip rules on a sticky note.
- One boxed deck as the source of prompts — do not invent meaner ones mid-game.
Round flow
- Deal or draw a prompt.
- Player performs, answers, or takes a tiny sip — or skips with full social credit.
- Group votes “composed” vs “cracking” as a joke score, not a punishment.
- Rotate; stop while people are still laughing.

FAQ
Sober players?
Yes — they are full players. Skips count.
Theme night?
Bluff dice instead?
Joke score, not punishment
Give each player three “composed” tokens. Losing a token is a laugh, not a dare escalation. When tokens are gone, they still get skips. The point is performance, not impairment.
- Food first.
- No filming.
- One deck source of truth: Do or Drink.
When to switch games
If the room wants cups, move to King's Cup Extreme. If they want clues, Dirty Minds — 18+ only. Themes: naughty party themes.
Consent checklist on the door
Tape a note: 18+, skips OK, no filming, water always. Then open Do or Drink. Cup people can migrate to King's Cup Extreme later. Clue people get Dirty Minds only if the invite said so.
