I don’t believe I’ve ever laughed this hard at a news article. Please, tell me this isn’t some hoax.
If you can even imagine.

Ahh, that’s funny shit. wipes tear from eye
Curious to find more about this “Bud Pong,” I did some research and found this gem of a line:
“And it does not promote binge drinking, she said, because official rules call for water to be used, not beer. The hope is that those on the sidelines enjoy a Bud.” (from here)
What were they thinking?
The mind boggles. They actually expected people to drink water? (Editorial comment about A-B products here)
Riiiiiiight.
beer pong (aka Beruit) has and will be around with or without crappy Bud-logo pong tables – it is the backdrop of my wasted you th.
…and A-B’s marketing department scores again, getting the company’s name and product back in the headlines for free.
Here’s your beer Capt. Renault.
Would the penultimate line of your “editorial comment” be “like sex in a canoe?”
Yep.
That makes me think of the time a friend and I bought a deck of cards that had various drinking games printed on them. Displayed on the side of the box was a warning not to play said games with alcoholic beverages.
…riiight.
beer or water is all very well but what worries me is the cocktail…
Anheuser-Busch is distributing recipe books to encourage bartenders to mix beer cocktails using ingredients like grenadine and tomato juice.
oops… forgot how to quote… :smack:
I actually played this once at some bar when I was visiting a friend in DC during the summer. Imagine our surprise when we find that the glasses were filled with water… however, to offset this disappointment, free beer was offered while playing the game. The rules were terrible as well - not that it mattered too much, it was at least some free beer as far as we were concerned…
How do you sink a ping pong ball, whether in water or beer? Do you use darts or something?
Beer and tomato juice cocktail? Where the hell is the barfing smiley when I need it? That is the nastiest mix I’ve heard of in a long time.
Poor man’s Bloody Mary. It’s how my dad got used to the taste of beer when he was younger. My uncle still drinks 'em.
It’s possible I’m being whooshed, but the ball doesn’t actually have to sink in the liquid. You just have to toss it in.
Are you really unfamiliar with the basics of beer pong? Perhaps we should organize a humanitarian mission to bring the game down under. I hear there’s some good brews there.
I’d never heard of beer pong before. Sounds like a poor bastardisation of quarters. Not too many parties I go to have ping pong balls at hand.
“Quarters?” Is that something like “Shitty nickels?”
Do people old enough to go to bars actually play beer pong?
Beer poong (or, IMO, mroe accuratly called Beruit) is VERY popular in college. Many college kids are 21, and many that aren’t have fakes, or go to bars where they are more lax on checking IDs.
Yeah, it’s just I tend to think of it as something underage kids do in their dorm rooms.
