BUZZ-DING

THIS IS A DRINKING GAME WHICH STARTS CLOCKWISE WITH
ONE PERSON, WHO BEGINS BY COUNTING "ONE." THE
PERSON NEXT TO HIM SAYS "TWO," AND SO ON. WHENEVER
MULTIPLES OF 5 ARE ENCOUNTERED, THE PERSON WHOSE TURN
IT IS, SAYS "DING," INSTEAD OF THE MULTIPLE OF FIVE.
WHEN MULTIPLES OF 7 ARE ENCOUNTERED, THE PERSON SAYS
"BUZZ," AND THE DIRECTION OF PLAY IS CHANGED FROM
CLOCKWISE TO COUNTERCLOCKWISE. WHEN A PERSON CALLS
OUT A WRONG NUMBER, I.E., 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, HE MUST
DRINK A BEER.
