Drunk Questions to Ask
107 questions · By Dima Tretyak, creator of DeepTalk · Updated
A couple of drinks in, people answer questions they'd dodge over coffee. That's the whole idea behind truth or drink and every other drinking game built on questions: someone asks, you either answer honestly or take a sip and keep your secret.
The questions below are for adults of legal drinking age at a party, a pregame, a bar, a girls' night or a night in with your partner. They go from funny and harmless to juicy and spicy, with a round for couples and one for the honest 2 a.m. talk. Every question works sober too.

How to use these questions
- These questions are for adults of legal drinking age. Nobody has to drink to play, and a sip of water or a soft drink counts the same as a drink.
- Before you start, agree on any off-limits topics, like exes who are in the room or work stuff.
- Take turns asking. The person in the spotlight answers honestly or takes a sip to pass, and answering is always optional.
- Start with the funny questions and friends round, then move to juicy, embarrassing and spicy ones once everyone is relaxed.
- Couples can play the partner round on their own at home. Save the deep late night questions for the end of the night, when the group gets smaller.
- The questions work sober too, so keep them for road trips, sleepovers and slow nights in.

Frequently asked questions
What are good questions to ask a drunk person?
Light, silly ones they can answer without regretting it tomorrow, like "How would you explain the internet to someone from the 1800s?" or "How do you think a microwave actually works?" Skip anything about secrets, passwords or private details, and never use someone being drunk to get information they wouldn't share sober.
How do you play truth or drink?
Players take turns asking each other questions. The person asked either answers honestly or takes a sip of their drink to skip it. Agree on off-limits topics before you start, and let people play with water or a soft drink. Nobody should feel pushed to drink or to answer.
What are good truth or drink questions?
Questions people hesitate on for a second, like "Which ex would you still answer the phone for?" or "What's a story people tell about you that's more true than you let on?" The truth or drink section above has more, and the juicy and spicy sections work for the same game.
What are some juicy questions to ask friends while drinking?
Questions about crushes, exes and gossip, like "What's the closest you've come to getting back with an ex?" or "Who's the last person who slid into your DMs, and how did you reply?" Keep them for close friends, and let anyone pass.
What are good drunk questions for couples?
Playful ones about your own relationship, like "What do I do when I'm tipsy that you find cute?" or "Which night of ours would you replay from start to finish?" They work at home, at a bar or on the way back from a party.
What are some deep late night questions to ask?
Questions that need a quiet room, like "What's something you only think about when you can't sleep?" or "Who's someone you miss but haven't reached out to?" They work best with one or two people at the end of the night.
