The Roxanne drinking game is a game in which players listen to the song "Roxanne" by The Police and drink according to the lyrics. The game is named after the song's famous refrain "Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light". The game is usually played in a group, with each person taking turns to lead the game. You can play this game to other songs.

Variations

Rap Roxanne: Instead of using the song "Roxanne" by The Police, use a rap song with a catchy beat. Players must drink every time the rapper says a certain word or phrase.

Country Roxanne: For a country twist, use a popular country song instead of "Roxanne" and choose a word or phrase to take a drink to.

Movie Roxanne: Choose a movie and players must drink every time a certain character or actor appears on screen.

TV Show Roxanne: Similar to Movie Roxanne, choose a TV show and players must drink every time a certain character or actor appears on screen.

90s Roxanne: Use popular 90s songs and choose a word or phrase to drink to. This version can be a fun nostalgia trip.

Reverse Roxanne: In this version, players drink during the verses of "Roxanne" and stop drinking during the chorus. It adds a fun twist and keeps players on their toes.
