Yeah, gout is complete loving misery. I had it in my big toe last year and I thought I'd broken a bone the pain was so much. Luckily I was able to kill my acid level with a simple diet change (I'd been drinking way too much tea with sugar every day).

I’ve seen that too (at a short-lived bar out here that had it setup to play), I don’t think we ever used water when I was actually in college. But I can obviously see how much more hygienic it is.

Do you have a shop vac? I quickly learned that is one of the nicer things to just have around in case you want it, won't fix your problems but it'll let you work on them a lot easier unless things have gone really wrong.

Other than that yeah you're kinda screwed until you find someone to work on it if you've gone through what you can do yourself.

We played with beer in the cups in college. But with water glasses on each side to wash off the ball before each throw.

In college they shifted over from beer to water in the cups. Ppl stopped wanting to drink poo poo poo poo poo poo beer.

I compensated by making mojitos for every party. It's not like ppl aren't still getting eviscerated while playing.

We used to play something called Beer Die that someone or other who taught it to us thought was called Beer Guy. Basically two people sit at opposite ends of a table with solo cups full of beer in front of them and the object is to throw a 6 sided die so it would bounce on the table and the other guy couldn't catch it (or you could sink it in the cup and he'd have to drink it).

It was very involved, way more rules than this. I believe it was the greatest gentlemanly let's get shitfaced combat sport ever invented.

Beer Die rules. Played it all the time in college (first house was Die, second house was Pong). Water in the cups for it because of splashing/spilling.

I did play at another house one time. Full beers in the glass and you chug on a sink. These guys were good and got my buddy and I immediately drunk.

the point of having lovely warm beer in the cups was to give you a competitive incentive to win.

otherwise who wouldn't want to just stand around and drink beer?

I do not recommend playing beer pong with egg nog or champagne.

Having one of the cups (that each team picks with the other team not knowing which) being a brown liquor was a fun if dangerous variant.

I haven't played in forever but both in college, in the bar that had beer pong tables, and then later at a friend's birthday (this is in three different states) we always used water in the cups. First time I played was 2003ish, so it's not like it's a new phenomenon. It meant you could drink whatever you wanted instead of just whatever cheap beer was in the keg and you weren't drinking something that just had a filthy ping pong ball in it.

An old friend and I got good enough at beer pong to the point that upon using our one available re-rack we did what we called “SCATTER!” and let the opposing team just put our remaining cups wherever TF, sometimes not even on the table anymore

Not strictly a “drinking” game but beersby has been a friend favorite for a while and it rules, until someone gets a nasty direct hit with the frisbee and someone else takes a glass bottle to the forehead at Mach 1


Also beer darts gets an honorable mention from me
