it seems like only east coast people in the us know what beer pong is.
is it true?
do you west coast people play beer pong?

I'm not from the west coast but here in Iowa some of my friends like to play it. Every weekend too, it's like they can't go a weekend without it. At a certain point I thought it was fun, but now it's too serious. Jeez it's just a game. Give me a bottle and sf4, I'll pass on the pong.

I'm from Northern California (the bay area), and yes we play beer pong.

Must be a colloquial/regional term, because we call it beirut.

Yes I know what it is.

Im from west coast.

I went to school in D.C. and you heard both "beirut" and "beer pong."

Isn't beer pong the one that is played with paddles, though? Are these terms interchangeable?

In beer pong theres no such thing as a come back lol...unless you get lucky...

I'm from Los Angeles and played beer pong. Only while I was pledging though...seems more like a sorority/frat thing here because I don't think a lot of my friends know what it is... Personally, it seems pretty dirty throwing ping pong balls that have fallen all over the ground into cups of beer. All they do to clean them off is throw them in a bowl or cup of water.

I lost horribly at it one night and got uber drunksauce

i play pong like any other sport, competitively & i'm from the east coast

I've never seen beer pong played with paddles. You just toss your pong ball into the cup.

i think most people that went to college in the state knows wats beer pong.

i played beerpong like 4-5 times

i dont know how people can play it every single time they are drunk
It just shows how uncreative people are...



thats revolutionary man!.. i want to play with a paddle.. that'd be interesting.

I predict some interesting accidents.

i imagine it would take forever to get the last cup if youre using paddles o.O

has anyone played baseball before? (sort of an evolved beer pong)

Canadians definitely play beerpong!

i think every single person i know in college knows what beer pong is. and i live in california

yeah people from who go to college definitely know what beer pong is. i'm from maryland and people go absolutely crazy over the "sport" lol

I'm in the south, and we definitely play that here! Especially during game days for LSU and the Saints, yeah (:

We're kinda crazy in my neighborhood: We play Beer Hoops.
It's basically the same as beer pong only we use clean plastic trash cans and basketballs.

I live in Florida and people here know what beer pong is. =P

i'm in australia and never heard of it.
anyone care to educate?

I live in California and about 90% of the parties/kickbacks/barbeques I have gone usually have a beer pong game. haha I am a beer pong champ.

I live in the Midwest but beer pong is played here and it's very popular lol.

Personally, I like flip cup cause I own at that game....muahaha.

Unprotected beer pong play is the cause of a significant increase in the transmission of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which causes cold sores. According to the Center for Disease Control, reports of the virus are up 230-percent from 2007 in people ages 17 to 21, and it’s all from sharing cups. Because of the dramatic increase in the illness, universities and parents are beginning to take notice.

From Bannedinhollywood.com:

“This epidemic is something we should pay close attention to. We’re aware that we cannot outright prevent [beer pong], so we have provided new red cups available to all students in the dorms,” said President of Arizona State University, Michael M. Crow.

And you can always play a different game. According to CDC spokesman, Dr. Cole Desorio, “Flip cup is great because each individual has their own cup. If it’s absolutely necessary to play beer pong, use the waterfall method. Many young adults, when asked if they practice safe pong, responded that they rinse the ball after it bounces off the table.”

First of all, it’s awesome that a doctor at the CDC knows what “waterfall” means. Second, how f**king dumb do you have to be to think that washing off the ball is going to make a herpes-lick of difference when it comes to spreading diseases from one person to the next. C’mon people, you’re smarter than that! You know, or not…

[Props to SI.com for this gem.]

From Sacramento, and we've been playing a few times a month. However, when I was in Kansas, that was our day to day thing.

Beer pong is usually the most important part of all the parties I throw at my place and probably at every place I go to. We even have a dedicated table for it at our place lol.

now that game is awesome

Nope, never heard of and never played.

Beer pong is boring. Although "Beer Hoops" is intriguing. Now that is a drinking game. I like the way you think HERMIT.

You should watch that....
You all should...

Anywho, I thought everyone generally knew what Beer Pong is, no matter where you come from. From the West Coast and we definitely know what Beer Pong is.

i goto college WA and from OR. we play it in both states.

i thought it was a general college thing everyone knows about regardless of where you are......

feel ripped off going to uni here in australia
i wanna play beer pong too!

im from oregon (west coast) and nearly every party i go to has a table or two for pong, whether around a uni or not.

my undergrad school has too much of a drinking culture.

there's a school sponsored beerless beirut tournament for a charity event.

some say one gets better in the game as one gets drunker. maybe...

i like the game flip cup better.

No. Never heard of and never played. Beside I don't drink that much anyway.

sound a lil bit dirty.... haha

im from philippines and i know what beer pong means. ^^

a game that i practice with water and hopefully will be pro at.

i take pong seriously. the real version of beer pong is from germany.. if any of you have seen beerfest.

pong & flip cup are easily my 2 fav. drinking games. i'm nasty at both..

fail.

yes we play beer pong in seattle

wooo. beer pong is funnn. :]

It's fun and makes you competitive. However....I don't drink beer, so they change the alcohol around.

As my friend once said, "When asked what my greatest strengths were, I replied, "Do you have a cup and a ping pong ball?"."

PONG!! hahaha so many memories.. I have played pong with Jameson bc we ran of out beer.. best idea ever...?? not

people play beer pong all the time here (at least at stanford)

isn't it actually called beiruit? i believe actual beer pong is when you use paddles...but people just use beer pong to describe beiruit anyway

it's pretty fun imo. lol nothing to do around here


personally i think flip cup is more fun, except when your competitive teammates tip up your cup to make you chug faster and the beer gets all over you...ugh
