Borat Drinking Game + Cocktail
About This Borat Drinking Game
Sacha Baron Cohen's outrageous mockumentary masterpiece becomes even more absurd when you add this culturally inappropriate drinking game to the mix. Every cringe-worthy encounter and politically incorrect moment in Borat's journey across America becomes fuel for inebriation, especially when you're sipping The Great Success cocktail. The film's rapid-fire parade of awkward situations, from impromptu 'My wife!' declarations to that infamous naked hotel brawl, creates perfect drinking cues that'll have you saying 'very nice!' by the end of the night.
The game cleverly tracks Borat's fish-out-of-water adventures through recurring motifs like his iconic gray suit reveals and Azamat's ever-present briefcase, turning these running gags into drinking opportunities that'll test your liver's diplomatic relations with Kazakhstan.
High five! Let's get culturally inappropriate.

How to Play
Start by mixing up The Great Success, a Slivovitz-based cocktail that pays homage to Eastern European spirits. The game follows a four-tier system that escalates with the film's increasingly chaotic moments. Basic sips are triggered by Borat's catchphrases and his gray suit appearances, while you'll drink twice when cultural learning moments occur, like Borat documenting American customs in his notebook.
Save your shots for major plot points like Pamela Anderson's appearances, and prepare to chug during the film's pinnacle moment: Borat's patriotic rodeo performance of 'Kazakhstan Greatest Country.' Remember, timing is everything – just like Borat's inappropriate social interactions.
Tips for Your Borat Game Night
Keep a backup batch of The Great Success ready – the 'My wife!' count alone could drain your first round before you reach the halfway mark. Consider assigning a dedicated note-taker to track the drinking cues, especially for sneaky ones like spotting the bear in Borat's car.
Aim for a group of 4-6 players to maintain the perfect balance of chaos and control. If you're playing with Slivovitz-based cocktails, consider eating a hearty meal beforehand – much like Borat's cheese-making family would advise.
Who Should Play the Borat Drinking Game
This game is best suited for fans who can quote every line from the Running of the Jew and appreciate the film's satirical genius. While newcomers might struggle to catch all the drinking cues, seasoned viewers will delight in anticipating each 'very nice!' moment. The sweet spot is playing with friends who understand the difference between laughing at and laughing with Borat's cultural commentary.
Fair warning: if you're easily offended or can't handle cringe comedy, this might not be your cup of fermented horse urine. This game works best with players who appreciate boundary-pushing humor and don't mind their cultural sensitivity training coming with a side of Slivovitz.
