What is Beer Pong Vs. Beirut?
1.
For those of you who think that these two great games are the same you are wrong. There is a very distinct difference in the way the two drinking games are played. Both are played with 10 cups and a varying sized table usually a ping pong table.
Beer Pong Rules- Players shoot the ball into opposite cups. First team to make all their cups wins and other team drinks all remaining beer.
Beirut Rules- Same as beer pong only with add-ons. If a player bounces the ball and makes the cup the other team drinks 2 cups. If a player calls solo cup and drains it the other team takes 2 cups away. If a player hits 3 in a row they get on-fire and get to shoot again. If both players on a team make their shots they get to shoot again. And if a ball rolls back to your side after shooting you get a shot to make it again only behind your back.
The difference between the 2 sports are added rules to Beirut.
Materials for both games:
22 solo cups (10 on each side in triangle filled with 2-3 beers) and 2 water cups
2 ping pong balls
table about the size of ping pong table
beer of your choice
people ready to get hammered
