Home » Drinking Games » Dice » Low Man

Each player rolls the dice in this drinking game, and the player with the lowest roll drinks the beer. It’s a very straightforward drinking game, and is similar to the dice game of 6 cups.

Start by lining up 6 bottles of beer on a flat surface or table. Then pass the dice around the group and start rolling.

1. Each player rolls the dice.


2. The player with the lowest roll is the low man.


3. The low man rolls the dice again by themselves.


4. The number that comes up corresponds to one of the 6 bottles of beer.


5. The low man then must pour him/herself that number of shots of beer from the corresponding bottle.


6. For example, if a (4) rolled, the low man must take 4 shots of beer from bottle #4.


7. Repeat steps 1-6 until all bottles of beer are empty.

Different variations of the game can be played by adding new rules. For example, if the low man rolls a 5 but bottle number 5 is empty, everyone else must take a shot of beer.
