What do you call the drinking game with cups and ping pong balls? Beirut? Beer Pong? Something else?

Beer Pong

Beirut.
Beer Pong is played with paddles and is dumb. And yes I say that because I suck at it.

Clearly it is beer pong. Only those weird-os from PA call it beirut :) (said with much love to my Dickinson-alum friends). Plus, I am embarrassingly good at this game.

I always called it Beirut until I moved to DC. Is it a New England thing?

Also, I suck at the game, whatever you call it. (Except the time Geisser and I played in the summer of 2000 and won like a million games in a row.)

It is called Beer Pong. Beirut is is the capital and largest city of Lebanon. Located on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's coastline with the Mediterranean sea, it serves as the country's main seaport. The first mention of this metropolis is found in the ancient Egyptian Tell el Amarna letters, dating to the 15th century BC, and the city has been continuously inhabited over the centuries since.


Thank you

Depends on who I'm with. In college we called it pong, in Boston we called it Beirut, and now its back to pong. Flip cup is clearly the superior game anyway.
