Beer Pong VS Beirut

Dear Drinkers,

Thanks for checking out my article to the point that I was asked to do one more this week. Just like the general public to cause more work for me. I’m just kidding… but seriously. Haha. Yeah I’m not really that funny at all.

So back to business, this week I would like to discuss one thing that has been bothering me for a while. As you know, I am a college student and, as one, I know what Beer pong is. But what I want to know is do I really? The answer, surprisingly to many, is no. Most college students have actually never played Beer pong in their lives. They have, however, played Beirut on several occasions.

What modern college kids are calling Beer pong is in actuality called Beirut. Beirut is 6 or 10 cups in a triangle on a table while teams on one or 2 try to throw ping-pong balls into their opponent’s cups. (For more details, look on out games page. It’s still under Beer pong.) Now we get to some real Beer pong.

OK, so the game of beer pong is, in fact, very similar to Beirut but at the same time, quite different. The table is the same, preferably a ping-pong table. And the balls, cups, and beer are the same. The only real difference is that there are more 10 cups per side and instead of throwing the balls; you actually hit them with a paddle. I find it to be a lot more fun. This does bring up a new topic though.

If the college scene, being that is, was, or going to be most of America, calls Beirut Beer pong, should we just switch them. Beirut will be called Beer pong and visa versa. This will solve the problem, right? I personally don’t think so. While people who were calling it the wrong name get to still call it that name the people who know it as Beirut lose out.

Pretty much it’s your decision. If you haven’t tried playing actual Beer pong, I would seriously suggest it. It’s loads of fun (much like your mom) and you end up getting really drunk (hence, why I know your mom is loads of fun). So try your hand and tell me what you think. I’m here all week so give me some suggestions.

-Tom

Beer pong game (or Beirut) is a popular drinking game that is still gaining fame in the United States. You can find it anywhere from college fraternity houses to tailgate parties. The original game was thought to be played at Dartmouth college in the 1950’s and much more closely resembled the actual game of ping pong.

Beer pong, as a title, is normally saved for the game that is still played with paddles, however, beirut was born in the 1980’s as the title for the paddle free game. While the debate may rage between colleges who originated the specific nomenclature, the rules for each game are fairly similar.

Getting ready to play is simple. There are two teams, usually with two players each, both starting at the end of a long table. Originally, this table was a ping pong table, but the paddle-less version does not require a ping pong table. You then set up 6, 10, or 15 cups on both ends of the table. Next, fill these cups, partially, with different beverages.

Beer pong, obvious by the name, uses an alcoholic beverage such as beer. Many people prefer light beers as they are consumed in large quantities and fairly quickly. Surprisingly, Dartmouth College has banned beer pong. This has forced some people to play it will root beer or other non-alcoholic drinks.

Rules can vary from house to house because it is not an official game. These variations include the number of cups used, types of shots allowed and the strategies employed. Some places require you to bounce the balls into the cup, while others do not.

For most rule sets when a cup is hit, the opposing team must drink the contents and then rearrange or re-rack the cups. The game ends when one team forces the other team to drink all of their cups. However, some house rules include a final showdown called redemption or death cup where the losing team tries to stay in the game with a successful double hit on one cup.

It doesn’t matter what rules or names are used, beer pong is still gaining popularity across the United States. Keep in mind that any game with alcohol involved should have some safety precautions taken. However, if the players are careful, beer pong can be a great way to take a party to the next level. Bragging rights of being beer pong champion can make a big man on campus out of anyone.
