Beer Pong - Everything you need to know
In the beginning
In the beginning, there was beer. People loved it. Then they wanted more creative ways to drink it. Beer pong was born.
According to Wikipedia, beer pong had its origins with the fraternities of Dartmouth in the 1950s. We agree to disagree, preferring to think that beer pong was handed down to us by the gods. We’re also pretty sure the Romans played beer pong while tailgating at the Colosseum.
Where to play beer pong
* Tailgates * BBQs * Basement of fraternity house * Basement of your mom’s house * Backyard
When to play beer pong
* When sober * When drunk, but not too drunk to throw a ping pong ball * At your nephew’s first birthday party (you know, to let the edge off while dealing with family) * On weekdays, between the hours of 7PM and 4 AM (except for Monday’s and Thursdays when football is on, where it’s allowed at any time) * On weekends, beginning on Thursday night (which counts as a weekend) and ending before having to report to work or class on Monday morning * Anytime you feel like showing up your friends
Beer Pong Basics
Since the game is so old, there are literally millions of ways to play. It really all comes down to these 10 simple rules though:
1. 4 players total, 2 per team. Choose your teammate wisely or drunken arguments may ensue about who is not picking up their part. 2. Attempt to throw ball in cup. Did it go in? If yes, tell other team to drink. 3. Tell your teammate to throw ball in cup. Did it go in? If yes, tell other team to drink. If not, yell at teammate to man up and concentrate next time. 4. When other team is shooting, if ball goes into cup, you drink. With a smile on your face. Because you love the taste of beer. Even cheap beer. 5. If a ball spins around the cup, you are allowed to blow it out (if you are female) or flick it out with your finger (if you are male). 6. Bounce shots can be blocked and swatted away. After doing so, a Dikembe Mutumbo finger wag is encouraged. 7. Two re-racks are allowed per team per game. If you’re really good though, you’d still dominate without re-racking.. just sayin. 8. If you’re a dumbass and knock a ball into your own cup, you drink. 9. If your teammate is a dumbass and knocks a ball into your cups, call him/her a dumbass and tell them to drink. 10. Winning team gets to stay on the table until defeated. Smack talking is allowed and highly encouraged on all win streaks.
Beer Pong Tables
Beer pong tables can be made of just about anything – plywood, pool table tops, foosball table tops, portable tv trays, your mom’s starched underwear, etc. Having an awesome beer pong table though will probably get you mad props, so either build a sweet table or man up and go buy yourself one.
