Adult and sensitive content

The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

What the question is asking

Item 77 asks whether you have played a drinking game — beer pong, flip cup, and the many card and dice games where drinking is a rule. Like item 15 with stripping games, the item is about taking part rather than about the outcome.

Where people disagree about what counts

Whether you have to have actually drunk during the game is the open question. The item asks whether you played, so under the plain wording playing without drinking still counts. Whether a game where drinking is merely optional qualifies is also left open.

The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.

How item 77 fits with the items around it

Item 77 is the social version of the alcohol block, sitting between drinking at all (76) and being drunk (78). It is a direct structural echo of item 15, which asks the same question about a different kind of game.

Item 76, before this one Drank alcohol? Item 78, after this one Been drunk?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 77 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.

Final score = 100 − total checked boxes

The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.

Questions about item 77

Does playing without drinking count?

Under the plain wording, yes. The item asks whether you played the game, not whether you drank during it.

Does beer pong count for item 77?

Yes. Beer pong is the standard example, along with flip cup and drinking card games.

Which other item works the same way?

Item 15, on games involving stripping. Both ask about participation in a game rather than about what the game led to.
