Alcohol: No More Playing Games

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When I looked up what the most popular drinking game was on the Internet, all of my search results came back with “beer pong” as the number one drinking game. If you are at all interested in how to play this game, the materials and directions can be found below. drinking-games70.jpg

Materials Needed:

  • some cups of beer (no specified amount)
  • 1 ping pong ball
  • 1 ping pong table (or any similar table will do)

Directions:

Set up the cups of beer on either side of the table like you are setting up bowling pins. Ideally, you should have at least six cups on both sides. There are two teams. One team stands on one side of the table and the other team on the other side of the table. Each team takes a turn (one person at a time) by trying to get the ping pong ball into the other team’s cups. If they succeed, the other teams must drink that cup. The cup is then removed from the table while the remaining cups are re-grouped so that they are close together. Both teams alternate back and forth like this until all of the cups from one side of the table have been cleared. When this happens, it means that the team who cleared all of the cups has won. Upon winning, the team that lost must drink all of the alcohol from the winning team’s remaining cups.

Sounds pretty incredulous, right? Well, it was voted the most popular drinking game. It makes you wonder, “Who is thinking these things up?” Why do we need to have all of these drinking games? Are these drinking games encouraging alcoholism to develop earlier than we thought?

  1. There are really many drinking games over the internet. I also love searching for mixed drink recipes :)

  3. [...] injury, many of these young people are actually being encouraged and/or encouraging each other with alcoholic drinking games. If you are a parent and you never thought for a minute that your child would be engaging in such [...]

  4. It’s really sad that we’re surrounded by this kind of thing. The majority of our major TV shows feature a bar, certainly all the soaps in the UK do. It strikes me that perhaps we need to take a collective responsibility for the way we market and promote alcohol to our societies - especially since the majority of our teenagers and even younger are avid viewers of these shows.

    As for the drinking games, maybe the media fuels this obsession with drinking games too?

    Kind regards,

  5. I agree of what DAN said, we’re surrounded of different kinds of TV Shows and feature by a bar and it is such an influence to teens or young people that haven’t tried to drink yet. and so according of many researchers Alcohol addiction is simply defined as a compulsive need for an intoxicating liquid that is obtained from fermented grain or fruit. These liquids include beer, wine, and other hard liquors. it says like every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be Alcohol or morphine or idealism. and Alcohol addiction may also inflame the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, and could cause cancer in these areas, especially in drinkers who also smoke. Have a desire to stop the Alcohol addiction. You must have a serious desire to stop from being an alcoholic. or better go to Rehab Center or Retreat House for the big changes and leave the Alcoholic days.
