A reader asked: What are some good practical jokes that can be played on your friends while drinking?

Practical jokes? Don’t you think we should be a little more mature than that?

Me either.

Drunks are an easy target for tomfoolery. When you have a lot of people drinking together, pranks and practial jokes are bound to happen. Particularly toward the end of the night when the marathon drinkers start getting bored and the lightweights are passing out.

There’s always the magic-marker prank. Dude drinks too much, dude passes out, dude wakes up with a penis drawn on his face. The key is to get creative with that marker. Think classy, not childish. Genitalia’s funny, but it’s been done.

At college keg parties, we used to wait until the end of the night when the keg was kicked. Whichever roommate fell asleep first had the empty keg delivered to their bed, which was often sticky and smelly with cheap beer residue.

Yes, it seems the majority of drunk pranking is perpetrated on sleeping people. Aside from magic marker and empty kegs, a popular stunt is balancing as many items on the mark’s head as possible without tipping it over. Sort of a makeshift version of Jenga using a human as the base. If they wake up while you’re placing your object, you lose! The objective is to balance the largest object as high as possible.
