Welcome to the Warzone drinking game, where every death, miss, and failed contract can cost you more than just your pride. From easygoing sip-for-a-death setups to brutal Gulag punishments and squad-based challenges, this guide has all the rules you need to turn your next Warzone session into a night worth remembering — or at least worth piecing together the next morning.

Pre-Game Setup for Warzone Party Night
Before you start screaming at your screen and blaming lag for your Gulag losses, let’s get your Warzone drinking night set up the right way. A little prep goes a long way toward turning your session from “sloppy mess” into “sloppy but legendary.”
Choose Your Drink Wisely (Based on How Much You Plan to Lose)
Beginner Level (aka “I might survive a few rounds”):
- Light beer, hard seltzer, cider
- Easy to sip, hard to overdo too fast
Intermediate (aka “I’m not that bad”):
- Cocktails like rum & coke, gin & tonic, vodka cranberry
- Balanced, but can sneak up on you after a few team wipes
Expert Mode (aka “I fully accept my fate”):
- Whiskey, tequila shots, strong mixed drinks
- Approach with caution… or a designated babysitter
Mocktail Champs / Non-Drinkers:
- Lemonade with jalapeño slices (spicy punishments!)
- Soda with weird flavor combos (pineapple cola, anyone?)
- Water chug for every death (hydrate or die-drate)
Stack Your Snacks (Because You’ll Forget to Eat)
- Popcorn (one-handed snack king)
- Cheese cubes and pretzels (minimal mess, maximum satisfaction)
- Finger foods like mini taquitos, pizza rolls, or chicken nuggets
- Avoid: anything with greasy fingers (Doritos, we’re looking at you)
Lock In Your Party Setup
- Squad group chat (Discord is your best friend)
- Optional webcams for punishments, dares, or general roasting
- Share a link to your rules cheat sheet so no one can claim “I didn’t know!”
Bonus: Create a “Punishment Wheel” or dare jar before the first match — makes penalties way easier (and way funnier) when the drinks start hitting.
Ready? Drinks poured, snacks stacked, squad online? Time to drop.
Warzone Drinking Game Rules for Every Skill Level
Warzone is full of moments that will make you want to scream into your mic — why not make those moments a little more… festive? Here are some rule sets for both the casual gamers just looking for a good time and the hardcore masochists who enjoy a challenge.
Easy Mode Warzone Drinking Rules (For Casual Players)
If your squad includes lightweights, first-timers, or that one friend who “doesn’t really game but wants to hang,” this is the perfect entry-level set of rules. Fun, light, and not designed to put anyone under the table too fast.
- Take one sip every time you get downed.
- If your squad gets wiped before the top 50, everyone takes a drink.
- Armor broken? That’s a sip.
- Lose a contract? Yep, another sip.
- Self-revive successfully? Congratulations — assign a drink to anyone on your team.
Pro tip: these rules keep the vibe light while still letting your squad roast each other for bad plays.
Hardcore Mode Warzone Drinking Challenges (For the Brave)
If your squad’s motto is “no mercy,” these rules are for you. Proceed with caution — and maybe have some water between rounds, yeah?
- Lose your Gulag match? Take a shot.
- Killed by a melee weapon? Two shots. You earned that.
- Die via self-inflicted grenade? Finish your drink. Learn from your mistakes.
- Team finishes dead last? Everyone chugs for 10 seconds.
- Get run over by a vehicle? Shotgun a beer if you’re feeling bold.
The hardcore set is where things tend to go off the rails… and that’s kind of the point.
Warzone Gulag Drinking Game: Win or Booze
Ah, the Gulag — where dreams go to die and egos go to get crushed. What better place to up the stakes than in this concrete nightmare?
Gulag Rules That Make You Regret Your Life Choices
- Lose your Gulag fight? Take a shot, no excuses.
- Win your Gulag? Pick someone on your team to drink in your honor.
- Both you and your teammate lose your Gulag battles? Everyone drinks twice — for the disgrace.
The Gulag offers the perfect drinking mechanic because it happens fast, and it’s loaded with pressure. Raise the stakes and make it even more intense.
Funny Gulag Variations
Not everyone wants to down a shot every time they miss their chance at redemption. Here are some creative (and slightly less liver-destroying) alternatives:
- Camera Dare: Turn on your webcam and perform a ridiculous dare picked by your squad — think interpretive dance, dramatic reenactment of your death, or freestyle rap about how bad you are at Warzone.
- Meme-Only Callouts: Your in-game callouts can only be meme references for the next round. No actual directions — just quotes like “It’s over 9000!” or “This is fine.”
- No Thumbs Allowed: Tape your thumbs down (or tuck them away if you’re fancy) and play the next round without them. Good luck trying to armor up or sprint, champ.
There’s no shame in going alcohol-free and still playing along — the humiliation factor is the real kicker here.
Squad-Based Warzone Drinking Game Variations
Warzone is always better with friends, and the best drinking games are no exception. Here’s how to spice things up whether you’re running duos, trios, or quads.
Duo, Trio, and Quad Drinking Rules
The more friends, the more chances to mess with each other. Some solid squad-based ideas:
- If your teammate revives you, you owe them a drink.
- Accidentally team-kill with a helicopter or explosive? Yep, that’s a drink.
- Only one player survives to the top 10? Survivors assign drinks to the fallen.
- Designate one player as the “Shot Caller” — if their pinged target leads to a successful kill, they assign a sip.
These variations keep everyone engaged — and make revives feel both like a gift and a curse.
Competitive Squad Drink-Off Ideas
Feeling extra spicy? Add in some head-to-head challenges between matches:
- Spin the Bottle (digitally or IRL) to assign drinking penalties before each match.
- Create a scoreboard for kills and deaths — winner gets bragging rights, loser gets drinks.
- Randomly assign “MVP” and “LVP” each round based on stats, with matching rewards and punishments.
Competition fuels the fun — and the chaos.
How to Customize Your Warzone Drinking Game
The best drinking games are the ones that fit your group’s vibe. Here’s how to tweak the rules so your crew gets maximum fun without things going sideways too fast.
- Adjust the number of sips, shots, or punishments based on tolerance. Light drinkers? Stick to sips. Seasoned pros? Crank it up.
- Use non-alcoholic punishments like dares, embarrassing social media posts, or pushups for those who aren’t drinking.
- Get creative with custom rules: maybe your friend who always uses the sniper has their own special penalties for missed shots.
Bonus idea: make a quick cheat sheet of your squad’s agreed-upon rules so there’s no confusion mid-match (blurry memory is real after a few rounds).
The Best Warzone Loadouts for Drunk Players
Let’s face it: your reflexes are not going to improve with every drink. Your aim? Questionable. Your strategy? Nonexistent. But that doesn’t mean your loadout has to betray you, too.
Here’s how to survive (or at least go down looking good) when the booze starts flowing.
Drunk-Friendly Weapons (When Aiming Is Optional)
- Shotguns (R9-0, Lockwood 300): Spray, pray, and hope for the best. No steady hand required.
- LMGs (RPK, Sakin MG38): High ammo count means fewer reloads — perfect for when you forget to hit the button.
- SMGs (Vaznev-9K, Lachmann Sub): Fast, forgiving, and great for panic spraying in close quarters.
Avoid sniper rifles unless your team specifically enjoys watching you miss shots by a country mile.
Perks That Save Your Buzzed Self
- Battle Hardened: Because you’re 100% going to get flashed mid-sip.
- Overkill: Carry two guns so you can panic-swap when your aim falls apart.
- Quick Fix: Armor plates hit different when you’re tipsy and forgetting to heal.
Equipment for the Forgetful
- Stun grenades: Even if your aim sucks, a stun can still save the day.
- Molotovs: Throw, hope, maybe set yourself on fire — entertaining either way.
- Heartbeat Sensor: Low-effort enemy spotting when you’re too drunk to trust your eyes.
Loadout Challenge Mode (If You Really Want to Lean Into the Chaos)
- Only melee weapons allowed (bonus: call it the “Fists of Fury” challenge)
- Run Riot Shield + Throwing Knives and pretend you’re John Wick after six beers
- Random loadout generator — let fate decide your drunken destiny
Pro tip: Make one “Emergency Easy Mode” class setup that doesn’t require precision. You’ll thank yourself by match three.
Other FPS Drinking Games Like Warzone
Sure, Warzone is chaos incarnate, but it’s not the only shooter ripe for boozy fun. Whether your squad’s burned out on Verdansk-style carnage or someone accidentally deleted the game (again), here are some drinking game spin-offs for other popular shooters. Rules can be adapted, but the core idea is the same: play poorly, drink frequently, laugh uncontrollably.
Valorant – The Tactical Sip-Fest
If Warzone is a messy bar fight, Valorant is a tense chess match where headshots matter and mistakes are brutal. Make it fun with:
- Drink every time you whiff a spray at close range.
- Die to a Judge? Finish your drink.
- Use your ult and get zero kills? That’s a shot.
- Ace the round? You assign drinks to all five enemies — or just your teammates, if you’re evil.
Bonus dare: Play a round as if you’re in a soap opera — dramatic voice lines only.
Apex Legends – The Vertical Disaster
More parkour, more chaos. Great for drinking games because movement is frantic and team wipes are fast.
- Drink when you fall off a cliff or miss a zipline jump.
- Get third-partied? Everyone drinks in collective trauma.
- Survive a 1v3? You’re a legend — assign three drinks, one per kill.
Fortnite – The Build & Booze Edition
Fortnite is perfect for casual squads or younger-leaning groups (mocktails recommended!).
- Die while building? Take a drink and reflect on your choices.
- Hit someone with a trick shot? Everyone drinks in awe.
- Get eliminated by a bot? Double shot and a roast from the squad.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive – Classic, Brutal, and Unforgiving
CS:GO is intense, so make the drinking rules reflect the pain.
- Drink when you die without firing a shot.
- Team TK? Shot.
- Lose to an eco round? Whole team drinks.
- Clutch a 1vX? You’re the hero — hand out drinks like confetti.
Adapt these templates to fit your group’s style — or better yet, create a multi-game tournament night with drinking rules for each title. Winner gets bragging rights, loser gets stuck cleaning up the empties.
Final Round: Make Every Match a Memory (or at Least a Blur)
At the end of the day — or the bottom of the bottle — the Warzone Drinking Game is about more than just kills and cocktails. It’s about creating shared chaos with your squad, laughing at your worst plays, and turning every death into a reason to toast. Whether you’re casually sipping through Easy Mode or deep into Hardcore Gulag Challenges, the goal is the same: have fun, stay safe, and make your Warzone nights unforgettable.
With custom rules, themed challenges, spectator twists, and even cross-game spinoffs, there’s no limit to how wild (or hilarious) your gaming sessions can get. Just remember:
- Hydrate.
- Watch out for your friends.
- And never — ever — trust the guy who says, “I swear I can fly this chopper.”
Game on, drink responsibly, and see you in the Gulag.
