Meritage Collection

These days, there’s a tremendous sense of community even if all our connections are happening virtually.We’re allliving for phone calls, Zoom chat rooms, Instagram Live, any and all memes we can send to the group chat.

Which is why we’ve compiled 10 virtual drinking games to play with friends, colleagues, and family members alike. Whether you’re down the street from one another or transatlantic, our goal is to continue providing you with a fun means of connection and a way to forget your worries for a bit.

Of course, please drink responsibly!

3. Everyone opens a canned beverage.
4. Pick one person who is “goose” (rotates to the right).
5. “Goose” says "duck (name of friend)" "duck (name of next friend)" going around the virtual room.
