The Whip Drinking Game, often called the Danish Whip, is based on the hilariously infectious song “Pisk Mig Hardt”—which translates to “Whip Me Hard” in Danish. Yes, really. The song features 34 distinct whip sounds that serve as your drinking cues, and trust us, you won’t hear them the same way after this.
Why whip drinking game it so popular? Because it’s stupid fun. Equal parts musical chairs, dance battle, and social chaos, the Danish Whip drinking game is one of those party rituals that transforms awkward vibes into full-on dance-offs—booze-fueled, of course.

Pisk Mig Hardt: The Danish Whip Party
If you’ve never heard the phrase “Pisk Mig Hardt” shouted across a dance floor, you haven’t partied properly.
This 2009 Danish banger (yes, it literally means “Whip Me Hard”) is the foundation of the Danish Whip drinking game, and it’s not just a game — it’s a full-on party ritual. Played loud, preferably in a cramped living room or crowded backyard, this song turns any gathering into a fever dream of imaginary whips, dramatic spins, and perfectly timed chaos.
How to Play Whip Drinking Game
- The song contains 34 whip sounds — your cue to act.
- The whip-holder (invisible, but very real in spirit) “whips” another player every time the sound hits.
- Mess up the timing? Sip.
- Get whipped? Take over and try to survive the next round.
Advanced party tips:
- Hand out cowboy hats to new players.
- Crank up a strobe light during the chorus for full Euro-rave energy.
- Make the whip transferable only via dramatic slow-motion gestures.
- Reward flawless whipping with cheers, chants, or a ridiculous honorary title like “Whipmaster General.”
Whip Moves and Party Variations to Spice It Up
The standard game is wild enough, but why stop there?
- Glow Whip Mode: Use a glow stick or light-up baton as the “whip” for dramatic flair (bonus points if someone narrates like a WWE announcer).
- Double Dare Version: Get whipped? Take a sip AND do a dare. Think dance challenges, sing-offs, or sudden interpretive movement.
- TikTok Synchronization Mode: Break into teams and choreograph whip passes. Judge each round on creativity and coordination. Losers? You know the drill—drink.
This song doesn’t just bring the fun — it demands your full attention. And the more people join in, the more beautiful the chaos becomes. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, once you’ve been ‘pisked,’ you never forget it.
Even Wilder Variations of the Whip Drinking Game
You’ve got the whip, you’ve got the song — now let’s add some gasoline to the fire. These variations aren’t for the faint-hearted. They’re for the drama queens, the overachievers, and the friends who show up to a pregame in costume for no reason. You know who you are.
1. Reverse Whip Mode: The Betrayal Edition
In this twist, the player holding the whip doesn’t pick who to whip — the next person has to guess who it would have been. If they guess wrong? They drink. If they guess right? The original whip-holder drinks. It’s like Mafia meets Musical Chairs with mild psychic pressure.
Bonus: Accuse someone dramatically, like, “You were gonna whip me, weren’t you, Kevin?!”
2. Sudden Death Standoff
Every 10 whip sounds, pause the game. Two random players face off in a cowboy-style whip standoff. They must duel using exaggerated whip motions and dramatic yells while the rest chant like it’s the Roman Colosseum.
The loser (based on crowd vote or just who falls over laughing) drinks twice and has to play the next round wearing oven mitts.
3. Whip Roulette: Dare Edition
Place a spinning bottle in the center. After every fifth whip, the whip-holder spins it. Whoever it lands on must perform a dare before the next whip sound. If they refuse or run away screaming? They drink.
Sample dares:
- Serenade the group with a dramatic love ballad
- Make a toast using only animal noises
- Pretend to lasso the ceiling fan for 10 seconds straight
4. Whip Costume Relay
Bring a pile of absurd costume pieces: wigs, feather boas, inflatable guitars, tutus — the works. Each time a player gets whipped, they must don a new item. By the end, everyone looks like a chaotic thrift-store gladiator.
Twist: If you get whipped while wearing 3+ items? You must perform a victory dance before passing the whip.
5. The Whip & Whisper Challenge
The whip comes with a secret — the whip-holder must whisper a ridiculous phrase to the person they whip, who must repeat it loudly before the next whip. Fail to repeat? Take two drinks.
Sample phrases:
- “My uncle’s llama does interpretive dance”
- “I fear no man, but geese haunt my dreams”
- “My safe word is Worcestershire”
Trust us, this makes the game 10x funnier and derails all attempts at focus.
6. The Final Whip-Off
As the song nears the end, cue a “Final Whip-Off” between the two players who’ve been whipped the most. They must face each other in a 10-second dance-off to the last whip sounds, using nothing but their imaginary whip and raw performance energy.
Audience votes. Loser finishes their drink. Winner gets a ridiculous crown or at least eternal party bragging rights.

More Music Drinking Games You Have to Try
Once you’ve mastered the Danish Whip, you might be hungry for more rhythm-and-booze games. Here’s a quick menu:
Every time the word “thunder” is said, drink. And it’s said A LOT. You’ll hate how much you love this game by the third thunder.
Team Red drinks on “Roxanne,” Team Blue drinks on “put on the red light.” You will regret picking Blue.
3. APT (Blackpink’s Rosé and Bruno Mars)
Sip on every “baby,” drink twice on the “건배” (cheers), and finish your drink during the final bridge. Smooth, sexy, and sneakily dangerous.
Each of these has one thing in common: they’re deceptively simple and progressively hilarious. Choose based on your group’s chaos tolerance.
Drinks That Match the Energy: Whip-Themed Cocktails & Shots
A proper Whip Game demands drinks that are just as extra as the game itself — weird, over-the-top, and maybe slightly dangerous. Here’s a lineup of signature cocktails and shots to match each game mode and whip-induced meltdown.
🥃 The Whiplash
- Ingredients: Vodka, sour apple schnapps, Red Bull, splash of lemon
- Why it works: Tastes like green lightning. You’ll feel this one in your soul.
🍸 Pisk Me, Please
- Ingredients: Danish aquavit, cranberry juice, dash of bitters
- Why it works: A grown-up slap in the face. Like the game, but drinkable.
🍹 Glow Whip Slammer

🔥 The Final Crack (Punishing Shot)
- Ingredients: Tequila, Tabasco, pickle juice
- Why it works: For the loser of the “Final Whip-Off.” Instant regret, eternal glory.
Pre-batch your drinks in pitchers or punch bowls. You don’t want anyone mixing cocktails mid-whip — that’s how furniture gets destroyed.
Final Tips to Whip Responsibly
- Play this early in the night to loosen people up
- Don’t play in a room with breakables—people WILL flail
- Drink water between rounds (your future self will thank you)
- Know your limits—passing out before the 15th whip isn’t a flex
And above all: make it your own. Remix the rules, invent new moves, add costumes. There’s no wrong way to get whipped—just make sure someone’s filming.
