Beer Pong Sports

Beer pong promotes drinking in moderation

The Observer, Notre Dame’s student newspaper, published an article on Wednesday about beer pong - For the love of the game.

In it, writer Tae Andrews covers hits on a few of the reasons why she loves the game of beer pong.  Tae actually brought up a point that seems to be missed by a lot of beer pong’s detractors: beer pong actually promotes drinking in moderation.  Unlike many other drinking games, if you end a game of beer pong without having drank one beer, you are a force to be reckoned with.  If you get through a game of flip cup without drinking, it’s because you weren’t playing; maybe you weren’t even at a party, you just imagined it.

The next time you rack up and play a game of beer pong, be proud to know that you are not only playing the greatest sport in college history, you’re also setting a good example for the world.  Drink in moderation.
