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.

Dating all the way back to the 1970’s, the game of Beer Pong has gained huge popularity in many places such as college campuses, basements, garages and even in pools. Many believe the game was invented sometime in the late 70’s and was modeled after the same game played with actual Ping Pong Paddles. Rumor has it that at an unnamed university, there were no Paddles available so the players resorted to just tossing the Ping Pong Balls into the cups instead.

The game of Beer Pong, also called Beirut in some circles, consists of 2-4 players
standing at opposite ends of a Ping Pong Table or other large table, attempting to land the Ping Pong Balls in the the other teams cups, thus making them drink (or chug) the beer that is in the cup that the ball landed in. Typically the cup is filled 1/4 to 1/2 full with beer. The team that hits all the other teams cups first is declared the winner.

There are many rules associated with the game of Beer Pong although the rules will vary at practically every different place that you play. Rollbacks happen when a player or team makes one or both of their shots and gets to shoot again before the other team. Bouncing the ball into an opponents cup makes them drink double although it is quite difficult and the opposing team can try to block a bounced ball. Distraction is also a ploy that can be used by the defending team where gestures are made, noises are made, insults thrown across the table and even some provocative actions when members of the opposite sex are involved.

Typically an opponent can request a re-rack of the cups once during each game. Re-rack means that the cups can be re-arranged into virtually any shape to make the shots easier. Popular shapes would be a triangle, diamond, straight line or sidecar.
The supplies you would need for a game of Beer Pong are very simple. All you need is 14 plastic cups, 6 for each team and 2 extra for water to wash the balls. A good supply of Ping Pong Balls, some type of long table, and BEER!

Many hard-core players have custom tables for Beer Pong. You can also buy very nice
portable, fold up tables that can travel with you wherever you may want to play. These days, there are even Floating Beer Pong Tables to use in a pool or on a calm lake. There is even professional association’s popping up like “The World Series of Beer Pong” which held a 3 day $50,000 Prize Money Tournament in Las Vegas! The Pabst Blue Ribbon sponsored Tournament was held at the Flamingo in January 2009 and featured nearly 800 players from 45 states.

Although the game can be an absolute blast and lots of fun with a big group at
a party, always drink responsibly and hand over the keys instead of getting behind the wheel after playing Beer Pong.
