Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Beer pong is going mainstream, according to a recent article in the New York Times. Anheuser-Busch and Urban Outfitters are now promoting the college drinking game, which involves lofting ping-pong balls across a table into an opposing team’s cups of beer. January will see the first World Series of Beer Pong in Las Vegas and apparently you can now buy Bombed, a drinking game kit, at UO.The game that Anheuser-Busch is promoting is called Bud Pong. According to a spokesman for the company, which brews Budweiser, the game does not promote binge drinking, as the official rules call for cups of water to be used. The spectators are the ones expected to do the drinking.
I can’t argue that beer pong, and other table-based games like plunk, are indeed some of the most spectator-oriented drinking games I’ve ever seen. Still, who are they kidding by suggesting that people will play with cups of water?
The article also makes mention of other drinking "games" like “Edward 40-hands,” in which you tape 40 ounce bottles of beer to both your hands. I never understood why 40’s were illegal in states like Florida. That could be why.
The frisky youths pictured here are from a Kansas State Collegian article about drinking games, published earlier this year. One student is a physics major, the other an architecture student.
