We’re in favor of anything that incorporates the sport of table tennis and beer, so when we heard about the latest craze sweeping the nation, we couldn’t wait to write about it. The following is a quick guide to playing beer pong.
In order to play beer pong you will need a few essential items:
- A ping pong table, or a wooden table that is slightly the same length as a normal ping pong table.
- A pack of ping pong balls (at least 4 balls, but we recommend 6).
- A pack of 24 plastic party cups (think Solo cups).
- At least 4 people.
- 24 cans of beer.
Set Up
- Divide yourselves into teams of 2.
- Set up your table using the plastic cups like this:
- Pour about 1/2 a cup of beer into each cup.
- Fill your water cups with water.
Playing the Game
- Basically, the object of the game is to toss your ball from your side of the table, and into one of your opponents’ cups.
- If your ball lands into your opponents’ cup, they must drink that cup of beer.
- You and your team mate get one throw per turn.
- After your team’s two throws, the other team will attempt to do the same.
- It is important to remember that every “house” is going to play by different rules.

Beer Pong is a great game to play to bring people together. Next time you have a cookout or get together, you should try it!
