How it's used

This game is a staple of Hong Kong nightlife and is almost exclusively played in bars or karaoke lounges while drinking. It is a social activity that relies heavily on bluffing and reading the opponent's facial expressions rather than just probability. Players often use the phrase 吹水 to describe the act of bluffing during the game.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse the term with general gambling. While it involves betting drinks, it is considered a social drinking game rather than a serious form of gambling, so avoid using it in contexts involving money or casinos.
