We love the buzz that comes with knocking back a few drinks, so it’s not uncommon for our nights out to involve catching up with friends over beers and mixers at our favourite bars.

But if you’re looking to switch up your drinking routine, rally your friends and visit one of these 7 bars with drinking challenges that’ll bring out your competitive streak and make nursing that hangover worth it. You might even win some drinks on the house.

1. Chupitos – free drinks when you complete a 10-step challenge in 1 minute

Chupitos is known for their massive range of shots – 130 to be exact! Here, you can take part in the Chupitos Hall of Fame, a challenge not suited for the faint-hearted. You’ll be tasked to complete a series of challenges from headbanging 20 times before taking a shot, to having a shotgun shoot beer into your mouth – all within 1 minute to get it for free. Find out more here.

If that’s too challenging, take it down a notch and challenge a friend to the Amazing Race ($35). The person who finishes their shots first wins, and the loser will have to drink an extra shot. Bear in mind that there are no prizes for this though.
