What it is:
You might have to search a bit to track down this southern-fried racing gem from a few years back. Behind the wheel of one demolition derby jalopy after another, you'll find yourself racing a figure-eight track, running a race in which every car tows a boat or camper you must destroy, or dodging oncoming traffic in a race in which half the cars circle the track in the opposite direction. And just when you think it just got too crazy to possibly exist, you unlock videos of real people doing it in the real world.
Why it's perfect:
Technically, racing games almost always make good drinking games. But only a few can be filed under: Destruction. And the more drunk you get, the funnier the fake southern accents you're guaranteed to adopt are going to sound. If you can't find this game, the PSOne classic Destruction Derby is always downloadable on PlayStation Network for PS3 owners. Or, you could go with the Crash Mode in one of the recent Burnout games. It's not as wild, but the pile-ups are still captivating.
Where does the booze go?
Just about anywhere. The easiest thing to do would be to race short heats and make the loser drink. But you could also dole out drinks for the ugliest cars, the most savage hits, the leaders each lap... you name it.
