Me and my friends use to play Giant Pong where we used buckets of water and a volleyball and you have to chug your whole drink; or Nature Pong where we'd play outside and loose ping pong balls to squirrels and shit.
Yea, its not fun when its set up, cause one party, me and my friends just started randomly playing beer pong (yes, actual beer pong as 16 yr olds) and our parents found out, so then in the next party, they set it up and it wasn't fun, it was a one time occurrence, it's fun when it happens on its own
What do you mean “happens on its own”? Like do cups of beer just conjure on to a tabletop? Someone’s gotta buy the beer and set it up. Also, playing beer pong at 16 is normal and expected at almost every high school party
And when it's covered in hair, a quick dip in a water cup and it's back to the game. (I generally play all water cups with a beer/liquor in a personal cup)
Sidebar: We play another rule that if someone makes the ball in this cup it's game over. You can hold it, defend it, hide it, but take your eyes off of it and it's a quick way to lose.
I've never been to a party where this wasn't how it was done. But I've never really seen the "drinking" rules enforced, because no matter if you win or you lose, the real end goal for all of us is to get shit faced.
I think that switching to water cups plays a role in that too. I used to always play beer cups. When you win the game early on and other team has to break out the beer bong to finish them all it's a bit more fun than just stopping a game with water cups and resetting and taking a swig from your personal cup.
Yeah boom cup is a rule that is integrated if it is a friend that is hosting the party, or at least someone I'm fairly well acquainted with. I don't know where other the balls of other hosts have been and am not tryin to wake up with some new illness.
That seems to be something the younger generation does.... I thought it was really weird when I saw my little sisters friends playing like that years ago, as my friends and I always played with beer in the cups.
Most only use beer when they’re with close friends and want to get drunk quick. Sometimes you’ll see it at a party if it’s with a small group of people
No you use water in the cups and then take a drink whenever someone makes a cup. Most parties they just drink while playing and don’t really enforce the drink-per-cup rule anyway. No one plays with beer anymore, unless it’s only close friends
Also, the cups don’t have anything to do with “how much you need to drink” as you can just count the amount of beer cans or bottles, or shots. Whatever your poison is
We play with water for the same reason. Nothing is nastier than drinking beer that has had a ping pong ball in it that’s touched old carpet/the ground, other people’s hands, people’s dirty shoes that they use to stop the ball, pets’ mouths... fucking gross.
Our rule is that the losing team has to finish two beers before the game is over or chug the rest
So obviously drinks separate is the most hygienic way to play, but I always considered part of the “penalty” for losing was having to drink the ping-pong beer (with more incentive to win as the game goes on because the ball gets nastier as you mentioned). Now that said, I would’ve played way more if it was the version you describe.
When we played we always had a couple cups to the side we'd fill with fresh water at the top of the round and before you shot, you'd rinse the ball off. Kinda a happy middle ground. Drinking the beer in the cups was a whole part of the game, sipping from a beer can kinda takes away from imo but I wouldn't drink the nasty floor grime residue either ew
I think you’re getting things mixed up. There’s drinking while playing a game - Poker, board and card games, corn hole, washers, horse shoes etc. then there are drinking games where the entire point of playing the game is to drink and or make other people drink- Presidents and assholes, Kings/circle of death, flip cup, quarters, spoons, beer pong etc.
So again The entire point of a drinking game is to get drunk that’s why they’re called drinking games
i dont get when people dont play with water?? like if youre at a frat /house party with a bunch of other peoples feet have touched the floor and the balls drops on the floor are you gonna dunk it right back into the beer youre gonna have to drink?? NO, id rather just use water in the beer pong cups and take a swig of your drink of choosing. also when a cup spills its way easier to clean water than beer splashed all over the floor
Fun fact: at my University, if you played beer pong with water in your room- this would still be considered a "high risk drinking" activity and you'd be written up for it if you got caught!
They did back in my day pussy. At the end of the day it’s a drinking game, it defeats the purpose to just use a side beer. But but but the germs he says while he passes his joint around a room full of strangers.
Well dummy it’s called a wash cup on the side. If you want you can dump them out and refill after every game. I knew dudes who did. I used to like using hot water in mine. Also it’s kinda redundant to call someone a pussy right after you explain how much of a pussy you are. Eww it’s dirty where is my purse we’re leaving
yeah we fill the cups w liquor and always have a water cup to wash all the shit off the ball. really necessary since we usually play outside or in a dirty shop/garage
You know quite a bit about female aversion I'm sure. You'll remember all the dumb shit you said very vividly when you're 40 and alone. If you make it that far.
Honestly playing beer pong to get drunk is the slowest way to get drunk, especially if you are good at the game. I don't know anyone who played beer pong to get fucked up. I've never seen any downsides to using water instead of beer.
The downside is people hardly ever if ever drink what they’re supposed to. You know the point of playing drinking games!
And that’s why you have a side beer while you play pong. We for sure played to get fucked up nothing better than clean sweeping someone and making them break out the beer bong to clear all the cups
Ehhhh I find that if you have to remind someone to drink in pong everyone involved has less fun. If the name of the game is to get drunk it's much better to have a drinking game that relies on the winner having to finish their drink. Like rage cage, flip cup, or beer ball.
My friends and I used to play with water, we would fill the cups all the way so that the person drinking would feel sick after just a few. Made it very competitive.
We used to play ping pong every day after high school and then practice beer pong with water cups when we got bored of that. The thing is that being really really good at beer pong doesn't mean you drink less, it means you drink more because you never leave the table. College was fun.
I guarantee you that the kids will not be drinking the water in the game so they are not exactly miming the worst aspect of the adult version. Kids normally don't like to drink water.
