The night alone doesn't have to be a total bore thanks Fred & Friends's Clink Glass one-person drinking game. The glass is hand-blown and crafted with a rolling ball maze in the hollow base. Designed to test your hand-eye coordination, it's most challenging when you're trying to maneuver the two balls while drinking.
But just because this glass is designed as a single player game does not mean it has to be played alone. After many initial 'lonesome' nights of practice -- preferably with something non-alcoholic -- you can gather a bunch of friends and compete to see who can complete the maze in the 12-ounce glass the quickest. When you feel it's getting significantly more difficult to complete the labyrinth without spillage, it's probably time to go easy on the booze.
