How To Play Beer Games: Beer Pong

Arrange 10 cups on each end of the table in the shape of a triangle … the way bowling pins are set up.

Fill each cup with beer about 2 inches from the top.

Fill the 2 extra cups with water and place at each end of the table to use as rinse cups … for when the ping pong ball lands on the ground.

You can play one on one or with two teams. Either way, each side takes turns trying to lob the ping pong ball into one of the beer-filled cups. The other team drinks whatever cup the ball lands in and removes the cup. Then it's their turn to throw.

The object of the game is to take out all the opposing team's cups.

Here's a variation: You can bounce the ball into a cup but only then is the other team allowed to slap the ball away. Be careful: any time you knock a beer over, you need to drink up and the cup is removed from the playing surface.
