DRINK BEFORE YOU SHOOT
What is the point of playing beer pong if you are not going to drink your beer? I noticed at the World Series, leagues in California, videos on the net, and games that I play here in Los Angeles that a lot of people don’t drink their beer before they shoot. I learned to play beer pong at California Institute of Technology (Fleming House) in Pasadena, California and the rule that we had that I always made sure to enforce was drink your beer before you shoot. Here are six things that I have seen people do instead of drinking their beer before they shoot:
1. They grab the made cup and set it on the side of the table and take their shot.
2. They grab the made cup, take a sip, set it on the side of the table, and then take their shot.
3. They grab the made cup and hold it with one hand while taking their shot with the other hand.
4. They grab the made cup, take a sip, and then hold it with one hand while they take their shot with the other hand.
5. They grab the made cup and hand it to someone else to drink.
6. They grab the made cup and throw the beer away.
Now, if you at any time in your beer pong career have done one of the above, a variation of one of the above, or something else that made you shoot before you drank then you are a little pussy and should not be playing beer pong. Yup, I am calling you out. If you can’t drink your fuckin beer then don’t fuckin play. That is the bottom line. I know that this rule cannot be implemented because of various factors at tournaments, but it should still be done out of respect for the game. One thing to note is that if you ever play me and I see some shit like that I will call you out on it and talk mad shit to you all game long and after. I did this at the World Series of Beer Pong II and will do it at the next one. If you want to know who I am I’m the one wearing the “DRINK BEFORE YOU SHOOT, BITCH!!!” shirt.
Some ones a little cranky
Some people like to play the game for ... and i know this may be a stretch for you ... the game. Your probably also the guy that likes to relive his "glory days" in high school/college as the "popular guy" I hope i get to play you one day, and you can be sure that i'll let my beer pile up in my cup while i'm playing the game ... just to piss you off :)
I LOVE YOU KATIE
Is this game that you speak of called “BEER” Pong? How dare someone call out people who don’t drink their beer while playing this game of pong with beer? Haha. I hope you see how silly that is. Anyway, why play a game for the game when this same game was intended for the purpose of drinking beer? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I don’t play beer pong for fun if people don’t drink their beer cause there is no fun in that so it will never happen unless you drink your beer. Oh, I'm still in college by the way so i still have a couple of years until I start reliving my "glory days." By the way are you a girl?
Did you really ask that question?
Nope i'm a guy ... a guy named Katie.
I had sex with Katie too man...
Katie has some big ass tit-tays
That i do
Its like they wrote that line just for me :)
Yuuuuuuuuuup
I did. I've meet some guys with some pretty fruity names so I just wanted to make sure. I'll play you and even let you set your drinks aside. Better yet I'll drink everything I make as well as what you make. How about that?
Thanks for the gesture but ...
I never said i won't drink my beer :)
Big words from motagagne...
Especially from someone who finished 80-something at the World Series. Maybe next year if you focus a little more on hitting cups and a little less on how much beer the other guy is drinking, you might be able to play on the final day.
YOU'RE A FAN OF PADS OVER TAMPONS?
The game as it was intended should not change period. Omitting the drinking part of this game is creating a new game. A game that should be called “whatever substance you are drinking pong” or “beer pong without the beer.” If you want to play this game let me know before hand and I’ll play that. If you want to play BEER Pong then let’s play beer pong. Those aren’t big words I just want to make sure that people stay true to the game. Lastly, I didn’t place 80-something at the World Series because I was focused on how much beer my opponent was drinking. I placed 80-something because the table that I practiced on which I bought from bpong.com was different then the ones that were used at the world series.
personally i play to win
Above you said:
"I don’t play beer pong for fun if people don’t drink their beer cause there is no fun in that so it will never happen unless you drink your beer."
Grammar aside, you really can't have fun unless OTHER people drink? What ever happened to hitting cups and winning games? These aren't fun?!?! Why the hell do you play? If it's ONLY about getting drunk and forcing others people to drink, I can show you some other games you might like better. There's this one from school called "Kill the Keg"... guess what you do.
Point is, beirut/beer pong is just about the only drinking game that requires more skill than holding your liquor. If a sober guy off the street shots 10 for 10 on a table, I'm impressed regardless of whether or not he drank a beer while doing it. If he doesn't want it... more for me.
DRINK YOUR BEER
No shit. I play to win as well, but I win the way the game was intended to play. The game no matter where it’s played, who is playing or what rules are being used was intended to involve drinking especially drinking before attempting your shot. If not, what was the point of making that cup other than making you one cup closer to winning the game? I’m sure that the founding fathers whoever they maybe created this game as a new and fun way for them and their friends to get each other fucked up. Never in their worst nightmares did they think some crybabies would be complaining about drinking their beer. I swear man if you guys have such a problem drinking your beer don’t fuckin play a game called “BEER” PONG. Winning a beer pong game without drinking before you shoot is like Barry Bonds hitting a walk-off home run. Winning a beer pong game drinking before you shoot is like Hank Aaron hitting a walk-off home run. I hope you understand that.
What did you do? Buy the bitch table?
Not sure how you could screw up buying a table from a website that only sells 1 table. The same 8' x 2' x 27.5" table that was used at the WSOBP. Unless of course you bought a 7 footer from bingbongtables.
The losers traditionally are suppose to drink the cups left on the table, but there is no way in hell I would let you, the loser, drink the beer I paid for, especially if there are 10 cups left. Do you go straight to the bar after a loss and consume the same amount of beer you lost by "out of respect for the game"? If so, proceed with your crusade.
Good Call
We've played games like that at the Scarlet Lady. The bar pretty much makes each team buy a pitcher for each game. I've had to let the other team drink 7 or 8 cups of my beer, which is bullshit.
last post
Alright I'm done with this thread. It's obvious that Motagagne will keep this up indefinitely, I saw the 5+ pages on bpong.com. What happened, we're you tired of getting smacked down over there so you decided to start it up on socalbeerpong too? The funny thing is that I totally agreed with you when I first started playing in my fraternity basement and beer pong was just a fun way to get fucked up. But now that I play in tournaments and leagues where there can be serious money on the line, it's the competition that drives me... the beer's a bonus. In the SCBP league going on right now, every team plays 9 - 15 games a night and some people have to drive 45 minutes to get home. It's irresponsible to LET people drink every cup that's hit, not to mention the $100+ you'd drop on alcohol every week. Ahhh, but you're "old school" and the founding fathers want you to wrap your car around a tree... well don't let me stop you. Now I see why the SCBP guys make everyone sign a waiver.
Unnecessary
SCBP's stance has always been that screaming at an opponent to drink their beer is perfectly acceptable for a house party (or frat basement), but is unnecessary for a tournament/league held at a bar. Personally - we find it a fun game, with drinking being a bonus. Making people pass out and unable to function the next day, just so they can get through their league games is somewhat ridiculous. Everyone can still drink and have fun, without drinking 4 ounces of beer for every cup that is hit. Peer pressure can be a bitch though - so if you wanted to show up and scream your head off at someone to play the way you want them to play - you might find yourself getting what you want. Either that or laryngitis.
Bullshit
I posted them the exact same day no later than 10 minutes apart from each other. I don't know who reads both forums so I wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to read it. And if you did read my post at bpong.com you would know that I am not a fan of drinking and driving. I said more than once that you should not drink and drive. Get a DD or call a taxi this way you can drink all your beer.
Booyakasha
I know I'm way late here on this particular forum but I'm kind of sad to see that the banter has died.
In response to the 8/15 "Last Post" by PadsFan I just have to say- very well stated. It sucks when you actually end up arguing against something that you initially believed simply because the person making the argument goes about it so terribly.
I think most people ARE all about drinking the beer when you're in a setting that allows you to do so. But now based on principle I'm tempted to take it easy on the beer and just play for the sake of playing. Man, look how this guy is totally screwing over the poor founding fathers now.... that's possibly one less person that's going to stay true to BEER pong.
