Beer Pong

Beer Pong is one of the simplest, most addictive and active drinking games this side of somewhere where there aren't many games on the other side. If you haven't heard of Beer Pong, then welcome to planet earth, we hope you enjoy your stay here, don't feed the animals or abduct anyone, and here are the rules.

Two players, one goal (sounds like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie), get your opponent to drink as much beer as possible. So losing appears to have a pretty healthy upside. Basically you place six cups with a good glug of beer in them on a longish table in a triangle facing your opponent (who does likewise). You now take it in turns to bounce or lob a ping pong ball into one of your opponents cups. If you get one in, they have to drink down that cup of beer, and you get another go. If you miss, it's their turn. Whoever gets their opponent to finish all their beer first wins, oh and the loser has to drink what's left of the winner's beer too. There are way too many local rules and adaptations to mention here, and we're fairly certain it won't squeeze past the IOC and make it into the 2012 Olympics (a crying shame), but suffice to say that it's a brilliant, highly adaptable game that once played is never forgotten. Line up the beers and get ponging.
