Beer pong is a popular drinking game, a competitive “team sport,” and for weekend warriors, it’s a way of life. Simple to play, easy to learn, and entertaining for players and spectators alike, beer pong is a backyard barbecue, bar league, basement, and tailgating favorite.
The object of the game is to eliminate the opposing team’s cups before they can eliminate yours.
If you have beer pong racks, it’s easy. If not, simply arrange the cupes in a 6- or 10-cup triangle shape.
Fill all beer pong cups about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way with beer. Place an extra cup, filled with water, off to the side for rinsing of your balls.
