How Popular is Beer Pong
Since 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 Beer Pong Table attempting to land the Beer 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 form water to wash the balls. A good supply of Beer Pong Balls, some type of long table, and BEER! Not cheap of beer. You do not want to spoil a party!
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, beer pong players do not drive drunk. Hand over the keys to the designated driver. Pong On!
Things to Check Before a Beer Pong Game
There are always things to check before going into a beer pong game or hosting a beer pong
party. There are also things to check while playing beer pong. I have compiled a few that I will touch on. Maybe you can recognize a few of these things to check!
1. First and for most is the beer! You need to buy cheap, not to cheap, so that you come off as some cheap assed bastard, but as a good host. You want a beer that everyone can drink and be pleased. Always check your cup of beer. You do not want to pick up a cup that is filled with something else and or have a cigarette in it.
2. You have to make sure that the cups are filled high enough that a line drive shot does not spill the cup and make a mess of your girl friends cute outfit. Or boy friend. It is always better to have the cups filled so that the play does not stop to clean up.
3. The beer pong table can be anything that is flat enough like the hall way door, the neighbors picnic table, what ever your pleasure. I prefer the real deal that way you know the table and the bounce, if someone tries a trick shot.
4. Then there is the attitude, we all live the guy that really gets in to the competition and does the dancing around and the yelling. You can take this as a distraction. If this works for him so be it. Personally I prefer the opposite sex distractions. You do not have to swear and cuss if the family is there while you are playing. If you are at school and you are playing another team then give it to them and let the festivities begin.
Have fun and remember it is only a game PONG ON! Play hard!

More Beer Pong Terms
I think we will add a few more beer pong terms for all of you beer pong enthusiasts so that you who read this will be able to use these terms around the beer pong table. I have found that there is an actual beer pong glossary out there. This really tells me how popular that the sport or game of beer pong really is!!!!
Lets get started!
Zamboni; We all know that the zamboni is the piece of equipment that cleans and
smooths the ice between periods of a hockey game. “Go Wings” Got to go with my team! Any way, in beer pong terms the zamboni is a rag that is to clean up the spilled beer or any other substance “puke” that has gotten onto the beer pong table top. When the cups start to slide around, because of all the beer that has been consumed, you need a zamboni. They say that the rag is typically never cleaned. So it sounds like a barf rag!
Pubes; This is any fuzz or hair that has gotten into the water cup or your balls. At any Fraternity house or collage dorm or even in the basement you will find “pubes” on the ball after it has been rolling around on the shitty assed carpet. If you have been playing beer pong for awhile you are guaranteed to find a few pubes in your water cup. You can take care of the pubes by re-filling you cup or be a man and just use the puped up cup. PUSS!
Bitches Blow; We all know that this term is provocative and I agree that it is a good term to use when the time is right. The meaning for it in beer pong terms is when the ball is rolling around in the cup (not in yet) only females may blow the ball out of the cup. Thus the term Bitches Blow!
I like the terms that we have explored and have put down to read. If you have any terms that you players use, send them via the comments, and I will add them to our terms at a later date. If you want to leave a name and location like the collage leave that also.

Beer Pong Terms
We have not really hit on some of the terms used while playing a game of beer pong.
Maybe you have heard, and even used some of these terms. Take a read and see if any come to be used in any of your games. If not take them with you!
Bitch Cup;
In a full rack the center cup is the cup that is called the bitch cup. The middle cup is called the “bitch cup” when it is the first cup hit. It is the easiest cup to hit but alas it sets you up for the worst rack. You are a bitch if you hit this cup first. Thus the name!
Rack;
We all are aware that a nice rack means a great set of tits! In beer pong it has two meanings that are used interchangeably. If you have a nice rack, it still means a nice set of boobs, or it is used for a set up of cups on a beer pong table. If you have a “nice rack” in beer pong it means that your cups are centered in a nice triangle and the edges of the cups do not overlap. If you are female and have a great set of breasts, c-cup or larger, and you show them off then SWEET!!! Any size will do REALLY!!! Moving on.
Money Cup;
Money cups are cups that are filled with beer all the way to the top. A money cup is used to spice up the game and to get everyone drunk quicker. At the start there is usually one “money cup” per team and then when the beer starts to go down like water more money cups get set up and the evening really gets interesting.
Re-Rack;
A re-rack is an EARNED resetting of the opposing teams cups to make it easier for you to make the shot. There are many different ways for you to earn a re-rack with house rules and others. Standard re-racks are usually allowed when you have made all but the 6, 4, 3, and the 2 of your opposing teams cups.
I think we have enough terms for the day boys and girls. Take a break and come visit us again for more fun with beer pong terms and other delightful things.
Standing Ovation Wins World Series
We are always talking about beer pong and this is the big of the big. The world Series of Beer Pong was played at the Flamingo Las Vegas and it has crowned the two winners on the 5th of January!
The World Series of Beer Pong VI was won by a team naming them selves as Standing Ovation : Dan Range of Columbia, Illinois and Nick Syrigos, from St, Charles Massouri. The two were the last standing out of 570 teams that began the competition, and the team has walked away with the huge sum of $50,000.00 in hand.
The winning team beat out another team Unstoppable Since Inception, in a best-of-three final match. Standing Ovation beat them in two games and did not require them to play a third.
The World Series of Beer Pong is the longest- running beer pong tournament in the world and this years event was the largest!
I would like to thank all of the participant of this years World Series and am hoping that you all return for next year. I am sure that it will grow and expand for years to come. Great Win Standing Ovation!!!
World Series of Beer Pong is Near
Beer pong players are warming up and getting ready for the World Series of Beer Pong that
will be held in Las Vegas where the stakes are high including the $50,000 first place prize
This years event will start on Saturday at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino and runs through Wednesday. All participants will at least play twelve over two days as they compete for the $65,000 guaranteed payouts of prize money.
Beer Pong, according to Extreme Beer Pong Now, has two teams with two players each. They each stand at opposite ends of an 8-foot-long-beer pong table. Ten 16 ounce cups are placed at each end of the table filled with about 2 ounces of liquid, usually beer, or other liquid such as water.
They are placed in a bowling pin formation and the two teams try to toss beer pong balls into their opposing teams cups. If they make it into the cups the cups are removed. The winning team is the team that removes their opponents cups first.
Beer pong is the number one drinking game at the collages and sporting event in which players drink the beer from the removed cups.
The World Series of Beer Pong has their own rules on opposing teams can grab for the ball and when and how they can distract the opposing team members.
Good luck to all the players and may the best team win!
Top Ten Drinking Games
This is is some kick-assed information on the top 10 college drinking games. I have to think
that this information that the Poohba has dug up is close to accuracy as I can believe. If you have other thoughts on how the top 10 has stacked up and dispute these let us know and we will put them up for a vote. So with further ado, lets get started
10. Quarters
Such a classic that I do believe that it is not in use as back in the day.
This game requires an hard surfaced table.
Players take turn bouncing quarters into a drink, which the loosing player must drink, it works!
9. Beer Hunter
Sounds interesting enough. Kind of like Russian Roulette with beer.
Get one beer and shake the hell out of it. Place an equal amount of beers in a box as there are players. Mix them up and hand them out.
Every players has to open the beers facing themselves. The one that is sprayed is out and the rest have to drink their beers.
Repeat this over and over.
The winner is the one that is dry.
8. Edward 40 Hands/ Mad Dog Hands
This game is a college staple. This one is usually part of the hazing process, so what else is there to do on a Friday night then to haze a bunch of your friends.
Players will have their hands duct taped to a 40 oz beer beer to their hands. You can not use your cell phones or use the bath room or anything that requires you to use both hands until you finish both 40′s. If someone pusses out then the remaining 40′s are poured over their heads.
requiring hands until you finish both 40s. In a pinch, if somebody wusses out – you make them pour the remaining beer over their head!
Mad Dog hands is a personal favorite variant where MD 20/20 is duct taped to the hands. The advantages of MD 20/20 over 40 oz is girls not familiar with the realm of bum wine will probably think good old Mogen David tastes like those fruity Bartles & James drinks or wine coolers. The reality is that MD 20/20 has 4 times the alcohol content of those drinks and probably special mystery ingredients to trash you even further. Another advantage is 80 ounces of beer is a lot for most folks, but suffering is part of the enjoyment with Edward 40 hands.
7. Power Hour/Century Club
Two games worth mentioning for the masochistic drinkers out there. This game definitely calls for a keg and pitchers/buckets for easy beer distribution among the shot glasses (or Dixie cups)
There are many variants of the rule. Power Hour with beer is 60 shots of beer within 1 hour while Century Club is 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. While those might seem paltry amounts (at 1.5 ounces a shot), the pace is quick and quickly tests your beer drinking (and stomach) endurance considering Power Hour adds up to 90 ounces of beer (A little more than two 40 ounces) while Century Club adds up to 150 (about 3 3/4s to 4 40s depending on how tall your shots are).
I’ve heard of a variant of power hour being a shot every 10 minutes for a hour.
Additional rules can be drinking an entire beer if somebody leaves to go to the bathroom during a Power Hour. It is nearly impossible to hold your piss for an entire game of Century Club, so I would reserve the beer rule for only the most evil and masochistic hosts out there.
6. Flip Cup/Boat Racing
Oh flip cup. Not really high on my personal list of drinking games, but it gets the job done if there is a lack of cups, balls, and surfaces for beer pong. You will need those classic party “Red Plastic Cups” for this game.
Two teams of equal numbers face off in a chugging challenge. The first two will face off and chug their beers as quickly as possible. When the beer has been finished, they race to flip a cup from the upside down position to the right-side up position. If one person successfully flips the cup, the chain continues down the line until the final person has flipped their cup.
An optional fun rule is to force players to tilt their cups over their heads before flipping the cups over (to get cheaters wet!)
Boat racing is exactly the same concept, minus all the cup flipping but with the cup tilting over the head mandatory.
Sometimes boat racing or flip incorporates the anchor player (the last person on the team to drink) to drink their alcohol through a straw as quickly as possible. This is known affectionately as the “strawpedo”
5. Depth Charge
Ah, depth charge. One of the finest drinking games ever conceived. The set up is simple. For depth charge you will need:
- A large quantity of beer
- A pint glass
- A normal shot glass
- a bottle of your favorite hard alcohol
The pint glass will be filled approximately half full of your beer of choice. Very carefully, float the shot glass on the beer. Players will take turns very carefully pouring hard alcohol into the shot glass. The player who is holding the bottle of hard alcohol when the shot glass collapses into the beer is required to drink the pint glasses entire contents. Some great combination are Korean Beer/Soju or Japanese Beer/Sake. Such “bomb” drinkings as an Irish car bomb are more difficult to pull off because of the necessity for two ingredients (in this case Jameson and Bailey’s). Keep it simple.
If you’re a wuss, you can play with Jager Bombs (fill the pint glass with energy drink and use the Jager to play) or you can be a complete pansy and play with simply beer (take turns pouring beer into the shot glass).
The beauty of depth charge is that the players who constantly mess up and have to drink only progressively play worse with HILARIOUS consequences! Prepare to blackout – after all that’s the whole point of drinking.Isn’t it?
4. King’s Cup
One of my favorite games, especially when players make sadistic and twisted rules on the rule card. There are simply way too many variants to list (such as California King’s) so I’ll just demonstrate the rules for the game as I play it (with clever little rhyme mnemonics)
A-Waterfall or Rule: I usually choose to make the ace the rule card, but I will describe both variants.
Waterfall is a game where everyone starts chugging their beer/drink. You may not stop until the person to your immediate right stops. The person who draws the card may stop first. It is a difficult game to regulate with a mixed group, so I usually like to choose rule.
Rule is simple: the drawing player may create any sort of rule they want such as a person must drink every time they touch their face. Another good rule is taking a shot for every time you use the restroom. When we play with a certain friend of mine, we force him to do the robot or the running man every time he drinks – hilarious.
2 – You: Choose someone to drink
3 – Me: You drink
4-Whores: All girls in the circle drink
5-Hand Jive: A silly game where players take turns making any gesture they would like, while the next person repeats that gesture and comes up with their own. The gestures keep adding up until someone messes up, and thus must drink.
6-Dicks: All men drink
7-Heaven: All players point to the ceiling, last person to point has to drink
8-Mate: Pick a person to be your “drinking mate”. Every time you are forced to drink, they must drink too. This has the cumaltive effect in that if a 3 is pulled and all the men drink and your “drinking mate” is a guy, he must drink twice.
9-Rhyme: Players take turns going counter-clockwise rhyming a phrase. A person who stutters or cannot come up with a rhyme within a few seconds of the last rhyme said will have to drink. Players cannot end their rhyme with a word that has already been used.
10-Ive Never: You may have heard these rules before. Players hold up 5 or 10 fingers and take turns going clockwise saying different things they’ve never done. If any of the players in the circle have done a particular action – they must put a finger down. Person who loses all 10 fingers drinks.
A usual cheap shot from the guys in a mixed group of King’s Cup is to say “I’ve never used a tampon.” or my favorite “I’ve never given a blow job”.
The 10 card is one of my favorite for revealing some filthy secrets out of people!
J-Catagories: This card is simple. The drawing player calls out a category such as “Japanese Car Brands”. Take turns going clockwise calling out different things that fall into that category (i.e. “Toyota, “Honda”, “Mitsubishi”). The person who stumbles, repeats what someone has said already, or cannot come up with something must drink.
Q-Questions or Truth/Dare: Depending on how I’m feeling I choose between these two rules.
Questions is a game where the drawing players starts off by making direct eye contact with a player and asking a rapid fire question. The person who is looked at must immediately look at another player and say any rapid fire question they can. The person who breaks the cycle, laughs, stutters, or stumbles must drink.
Truth/Dare is a fun variant in place of Questions where the drawing player asks another “Truth or Dare?” like the classic teen game. This doesn’t require much explanation, but I like to make the penalty for flaking out on truth or dare more severe such as a double shot of hard alcohol.
K-King’s Cup: The most deadly of cards.
The drawing player will pour as much beer (usually) or really anything alcohol into a large cup (or if you’re me, a bucket) to their heart’s desire.
This repeats until the final King is drawn. The player who draws the final king must consume the entirety of everything poured out by the previous three players.
This usually results in extreme projectile vomiting.
King’s cup is a great game for any occasion.
3.Slosh Ball
This is the game that requires the MOST planning, but has the most reward.
The game is played exactly like softball, but with a keg on first base and a slide-n-slide between third base and home (on warm days) or on cold days, either another keg or a shot. In order to proceed past second base, players must chug an entire beer. To pass from third to home they either must slide down the slip-n-slide or take a shot before proceeding.
Variants of the game include a “dizzy stick” portion in the finals innings.
In the “dizzy stick” variant, a mini-game is played where both teams take turns playing a sort of relay race. Players must hold a baseball bat and spin themselves in a circle 20 times, sprint to first base, pound a beer, and run back while tagging the next person. The team that finishes first wins and the losing team must all take a shot. After “dizzy sticks”, the game finishes per normal rules..
Definitely have some garbage bags on hand for.
2. Dice Drinking Games
Dice seems to be the new craze in drinking games. There are so many variety of beer drinking games, to list them all would take an eternity. I will list a favorite dice game of mine that is sure to be a hit at your next party.
Line up 12 pint glasses or red cups in a straight row. Players will take turns rolling two dice. The corresponding number rolled is the cup they must drink. If there is no alcohol in the cups, the player can pour as much alcohol as they want in the form of beer, hard alcohol (probably within reason or people will quit!), or mixed drinks.
1. Beer Pong
A college staple. What article about college drinking games would be complete without a mention to the heavyweight champion of drinking games. Personally, I think the beer pong craze is ridiculously played out (I’m waiting for the next BIG hit), but I can’t argue with the fun factor for the most part. My only gripe with the game is only four people can usually play at once (teams of two) and drunk people take FOREVER to finish (ever get stuck in a game where it takes half a hour for a team to hit a single damn cup? Yea. Boring.)
There are as many variants of beer pong rules as there are hairs on my balls. Literally. To detail them all would also take forever, so I will describe the base rules from which all variants derive from.
Beer pong is played on a long table with 12 “Red Party Cups” set up on either side in a triangle formation. Two teams of two face off and take turns trying to shoot the ball in the cup. The method of determining who goes first can be a face-off, rock/paper/scissors, or random – the methods are diverse as the can be.
The base rules are that if a team nails their ball inside two cups (but different cups) they get another turn each at shooting again. If the same cup is made, usually three cups and balls back are the rule. There are variants such as “beer explosion” that I won’t get into as well as “official tournament rules” such as only getting one ball rolled back for a shot.
Suffice to say, beer pong is the king of all drinking games and sits high and mighty on our list at #1.
Party on, boys and girls
Bruce Buffer and Beer Pong
We all know the name Bruce Buffer of the octagon cage fights of the UFC and the “Voice of

When he strides into the arena to announce the $50,000 game, there’s no place we’d rather be. As he puts it, “The crowd loves me, and I give them my all”. It shows. Bruce you are the man!!!
