Spin the bottle is a party game usually played by teens and pre-teens in which several players sit in a circle. One player spins a bottle on the floor in the middle of the circle, and must kiss on the lips the person to whom the bottle points, who then spins the bottle in turn. [Brian Sutton-Smith, B. G. Rosenberg. "Sixty Years of Historical Change in the Game Preferences of American Children", "The Journal of American Folklore". Volume 74, Number 291, January – March 1961. pages 17-046. ISSN 00218715.] .

In a variant, the bottle is spun twice by each person in order, and the two people the bottle points to have to kiss. If the bottle lands on the same couple twice, then they must go further than kissing- e.g removing an item of clothing each, and kissing.
