Fun Vientiane Drinking Games

Lonely Planet
Go about your busininess as usual but whenever you see someone with a Lonely Planet guide, go into the nearest bar, restaurant, gueshouse, or minimart and drink a Beerlao (any variety). If you remember the sun setting, you win. For advanced drinkers only.

Hotel California
When you hear the opening bars of Hotel California, order two shots of tequila for every person playing. Drink one immediately and the 2nd at "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." This can be played in conjunction with other drinking games. The budget-conscious traveler can substitute lao lau.

Fatty, Fatty, Fat Fat
Sit outdoors in a high-traffic area, such as by the Mekong. Every time a fat white person walks by, everyone in the group must drink a small glass of beer. See if you can keep up!

"So Where Have You Been?"
Find some backpackers with dreadlocks and start a conversation with them. Every time they mention a place they've travelled, take a drink. When you've finished your drink or simply can't take it any more, end the conversation. Example:
"...so then we got to Greece and..."
"I'm sorry, I have to go take my AIDS medicine."
