Bottoms up! Drinking games (Jiuling)

Drinking games are a popular pastime, have a long tradition in China. The following are some examples of jiuling.

Finger guessing: Two people sit at the same table. Using one hand, they simultaneously stretch out fingers (several fingers stick out, while the others are close to the palm) and shout out a number between one and 10. If a player guesses right, and says the total number of fingers extended by both players, he/she wins. The loser then has to take a drink. If both players guess right or if both guess wrong, the game continues. If a person accidentally shouts a number that is less than the number of fingers he/she has stretched, he/she has to take a drink.

A little bee: Chinese have their own version of the”rock, paper, scissors” game. It is a game for two. First, the players sing a little verse: "Liangzhi xiao mifeng ya, fei dao huacong zhong ya, fei ya" (two little bees fly to the flowers, and fly). After singing, each player imitates either a rock, paper or scissors with his/her hand. The winner (the one who showed a sign that beats the other player's sign’)must pretend to slap the other player, while saying "Pya Pya." The loser must pretend to be slapped, while saying "Ah Ah!.，If both  people show the same sign, they pretend to kiss, while saying ”Mua Mua.” Of course, this has to be done as quickly as possible. The first to say the wrong sentence or does thewrong action must take a drink.

Seven: The principle is to avoid saying the ”bad”number, which is seven. People sitting around the table, in succession, say numbers. The first player says "one,“ the second says "two,” and so on. The person who is supposed to say “seven” must move directly to "eight." The Players go on counting, avoiding the number "seven," all of its multiples (14, 21 etc.) and all the numbers including "seven,“ such as 17, 27, 37 etc. Of course, this gets harder and harder.Do you have any idea what the punishment is for the person who accidentally says a forbidden number?
