Get the party going! Surefire conversation topics and talk themes for drinking gatherings (21–30)
Something I can’t live without
Do you have something you absolutely always keep in your bag? Besides the obvious wallet and phone, some people might carry things that seem normal to them but make others ask, “Why do you have that?” How about talking about those can’t-let-go items? You might find people who relate because they carry the same thing, discover a side of someone you didn’t know, and the conversation could go in all kinds of directions.
I mean, aren’t you at least a little curious about what’s inside other people’s bags?
urban legend
There are many kinds of scary stories—like whether people like horror movies or their experiences at haunted spots—but what I’d like you to bring up here is urban legends.
These somewhat plausible rumors might liven up a drinking party.
Since the themes are familiar, they’re easy for anyone to picture.
Also, some urban legends aren’t very scary, so even people who aren’t into spooky topics may find them approachable.
If you search online, you’ll find tons of urban legends, so definitely try looking some up.

House Rules
For example, things like “Be home by a certain time in the evening,” “Wait to start eating until the whole family is together,” or “Don’t leave dirty socks inside out,” and so on—every household probably has its own set of ‘house rules.’ How about expanding your conversation around that topic? If unusual rules come up, that alone can liven things up, and you might learn about the other person’s family environment, which could get the conversation flowing.
It’s a theme that helps you get to know each other more deeply!
In conclusion
We introduced some conversation topics that are perfect for drinking parties.
Even if the topics themselves aren’t that significant, they can be just the spark needed to get everyone hyped up.
Avoid subjects that might make someone feel bad, and keep the mood fun!
