The Goldfish drinking game is like the normal Go Fish card game with a few drinking twists. Ask other players for specific cards. If they have the card you asked for they drink that number. VERY fun game to play when you add in all the other rules below...

Setup to play this drinking game is simple.
- Get 4 or more people to sit down at a table
- Get your drinks ready of course
- Deal out 7 cards to each player
- Leave the Jokers in the deck

Follow these rules:

1. Game play moves clockwise, and each person asks another player for a card
   
2. In order to ask for a card, you either need to have that card in your hand, or bluff
   
3. If someone calls your bluff, you must drink the number on the card
   
4. When you call a card, you call a card and a color... like Red 7
   
5. If the person you asked does not have the card, take a drink and draw a card
   
6. If the person you asked has the card, they must give you the card and drink that number
   
7. If you have to draw a card, and get the card that you asked for, you can pass out that number of drinks
   
8. If one player gets both Jokers, they are the Goldfish, which is the like the president in Asshole
   - the Goldfish can tell anyone to drink as much as they want until the game is over
   
9. When you get a pair, like both red 9's, you can put those down in front of you
   
10. Once all the cards are gone, the game is over and you play again.
    

I've played this game a few times where we let the Goldfish make rules and tell people to do pretty much whatever they want. It is a great twist on the game, but as you can probably tell, things have the potential to get out of hand very quickly. Please drink responsibly.
