Beer Pong Info

Beer pong is an awesome social party game. So relax, grab a beer and read as I explain some tips everyone should know about beer pong that add to the excitement and keep the game safe.

There have always been health concerns about beer pong like sharing cups or throwing a ball that can potentially have a disease into someone’s cup. Not too far in the past, (as you probably recall) the swine flu was on the verge of becoming an epidemic beer pong was said to have aided in a virus that could have spread nationwide. Relax; keep reading because I am not saying “don’t play beer pong”. There are simple ways to prevent being vulnerable to almost all diseases that would spread this way. Let’s face it; you probably would want to miss work or class, but not the next beer pong game. A quick and easy solution is to use water instead of beer. It’s as easy as a keg stand! If you fill your table cups with water and keep a personal cup in reach you can avoid contact with community cups. When the opposing team makes a shot, take the water out of the rack and poor beer into your own personal drinking cup. There you have it, no dirt or disease in your cup of beer. This is also good training for tournaments because most tournaments are played with water instead of beer.

We all know today′s economy is in the toilet. Like I said before, using water in the table cups is not only healthy, but it will also save on a lot of beer needed for the game. You can save a lot of money if you are hosting a party by buying a keg; especially if you like top shelf beer. Also, consider getting 16 oz. reusable plastic cups. Buying reusable cups saves you money and it is also better for the environment. Remember a little extra cash in your pocket goes a long way.

Be a responsible beer pong player, even more so if you are the host. The last thing you want is to have one of your good friends to get injured or in the worst case scenario die. Try to alternate teams instead of playing “King of the Table.” This way, not only does everybody get a break but there is more of a challenge because the players change on every round. You should also make sure you have all the players′ (car) keys and enough room for people to stay overnight if needed.

Deciding to build a table from wood can take hours. When people are ready to play beer pong they probably don’t want to wait for you to make a beer pong table. If you take your kitchen table from your house, you run the risk of damaging your table (more money down the drain). A professional beer pong table is easy to set up, simple to clean, and putting it away can be as easy as closing a car door. Your time, money, and efforts would be better spent if you bought a real beer pong table

While playing beer pong, you WILL be spilling water or beer. Try to stay away from carpeted areas or hard wood floors. The yard or your deck is the best area to play (if the weather permits) because there is almost no clean up (besides beer and water makes good grass feed). If you must play inside, the playing area should meet certain requirements, like, a tile floor or the basement; which are stain and water resistant and easier to clean. A place with an overhead light should be provided for more accurate shooting. A regulation eight foot beer pong table requires at least twelve feet of total playing room. You also want to make sure to have enough room to fist pump and high-five.

Have fun! This is the most important tip off all. Beer pong is a great social game with friendly competition to go along with it. You will never have a boring party when there is a game of beer pong going on. So, until next time, “Have a great game!” Just remember to save money, be healthy, be responsible, make sure you pick the right spot, and you will always have a good beer pong game with lots of good times.
