And I'm sure other brands and/or spirits may be used Cheers

I did find some sort of rules also. The version I liked best had a sort of built in equalizer for the skilled vs not-so-skilled player. They go something like this

1. When one moves a piece, one must sip from the piece moved.
2. When one's piece is captured, one must drink the entire piece. (I read, you capture, you drink, this makes the equalizer)
3. Castling requires two sips: one from the King, one from the Rook
4. En passent requires only one sip (as in a standard pawn move)
5. When one's pawn reaches the eighth rank, and is exchanged for a queen (or other piece), one's opponent must drink the remainder of the pawn.
6. Once a piece is sipped, that piece must be moved. (taking back moves is not allowed)
7. One may take as long as one wants to drink a captured piece, but the piece must be quickly consumed when a second piece is captured.
8. After each exchange of pieces, the players must toast each other's health with the exchanged pieces.
9. When one is put in check, one must sip from the King.
10. Passing out constitutes a resignation.
11. A player may not go the the bathroom before his move.
12. When one is checkmated, one must drink: 1. The remainder of one's King 2. The remainder of opponent's King 3. The remainder of one's pieces.

I did see one board set up with glasses that had pictures of the pieces on them - white or black outline drawings. Lots more versions if you google "beer chess."

I've seen this played before, but only with Rules 2,5,8 and 12.

I have a version of this. They are all the same shot glasses, with white/black marking on them denoting the piece. Found it at a garage sale for cheap and couldn't pass it up. Very Happy
