Too much math for when you're drunk.

Might be a typo though

I'm calling bullsh!t on this one.

Unless you're good, like me, at Halo you'd die at least 7-10 times in a 7 minute game. Even if you died 4 times in a 10 minute game that's an obscene amount of alcohol in a very shot period of time. Most players never have an average time of living of over a minute soooo....

In fact, custom games usually can last 20 minutes or so with the same amount of deaths per minute. So yeah, either you're lying or you guys are hardcore drunks and/or dead.

That's way more reasonable than 6 shots in ten minutes.

Shouldn't first place have to take it? Otherwise the worst players just keep getting worse, while one really good guy is sober.

un dos trois
mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

i've been working on a cocktail called "grounds for divorce"
whoah
polishing a compass that i hold in my sleeve
whoah
down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
whoah
there's a chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

> and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep

there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall

mondays is for drinking to the seldom
*seen kid*

there's this whispering of jokers doing "flesh by the pound"
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
to a chorus of supporters from the little town halls
there'll be twisted karaoke at the aniseed lounge
and i'll bring you further roses but it does you no good
and it does me no good
and it does you no good

there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall
there's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late i cannot help but fall

someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid
we don't have time to stop for gas

The whole point is that the crappiest people at any given activity get wasted, which makes them even worse at the activity, so they drink even more.

In high school it was Quarter Bounce.

In college it was movie drinking games. Try this one and end up in the hospital: The Webtender: Drinking game: Star Wars Drinking Game

Before I stopped drinking it was Who can Find the Most Outrageous/Expensive Beer and Act Like You Enjoy It game.

I'm a huge fan of beer pong, my friends take it VERY seriously.

We have been known to play without beer just for the fun of it.

Besides that I enjoy a variety of card games, like asshole.

If you can still type, you're not that drunk.

It's been a quite a few years since I was online while wasted. Back when I used to play MUDs in the 1993-1994 time frame. A text based internet when you a drunk is a very interesting activity.

I built a work bench a few weeks ago that happens to be the exact same size as a beer pong table. My only problem with beer pong is that the beer (whatever light American beer my neighbors get) tastes so awful that it's not even fun to play.

if college has taught me anything, its that drinking games are a way of life, not only the classics (beer pong, flip cup, baseball, kings, land mines my favorite) but the on the fly games, Drinking wheel of fortune or sporting events. My years so far have shown me that Halo can be a very good drinking game if done correctly, a shot of beer (much like a power hour) for every death is realistic while a actual shot is just unmistakably idiotic.

If you think they take it seriously, there is a few bars at PSU that have tournaments every week for some decent money (those get intense)

It's only picked up steam since I've left college. I still play if fairly regularly.

I'm not a big fan of drinking nor of drinking games in general, but when I do play it's usually the game of "Gimme another drink before I smack you, bitch!" - in which I order my nude gf around from the confines of a big recliner whilst smoking a cheapass stogie.

It's even worse with good beer. Just about the only time I'll drink American Light 'Beer" is during beer pong. Using good beer leads to indigestion for me.

We developed the best (and most hygienic) way to play. We used to use water in the cups and drink whatever beer or mixed drink on the side. I know, I know, these aren't the hardcore rulez! but I don't give a sh!t. Most games of pong are played in dingy basements and I don't feel like drinking basement scum.

Then I had the genius idea of scrapping the fluid thing altogether and using that super fine sand you find at beaches. It was an instant hit. Not only would your fingertips not get cold during basement play in the winter it seemed to stabilize the cups better. Plus you can re-use the cups time and time again. I can't count how many times we'd show up somewhere to play pong (we call it Beruit) just to hear "Oh, we only have seven cups!" Awesome!

I've played in a few tourneys in the local colleges and honestly the amount of drunken frat 'tards screaming their head off was enough to make me all set with that. I held my own quite nicely though. It's all about the partner, if I am with my buddy Matt we demolish people...if I play with my g/f we win a few and lose a few. She actually got quite good, probably since I badgered her into playing as much as possible because I'd be damned if I am forced to play with someone who sucks.

We also have quite a few rules about conduct. In a big party no one cares but if we are playing with a few randoms we let them know we do not tolerate asshaterry. No waving your hands near the cups, no screaming and yelling. If I play I let the other team shoot whilst I focus on hitting my next shots.

For us it's a game of gentlemen.

It's a great thing to do when you have a small group over, like 6 people. Then everyone gets to play regularly and you can even make a tourny out of it.

The most fun I ever had was 1v1 with my roomies. The three of us ended up playing about 70+ games or so. Two of use were tied for 1st and the other was only a game or two behind.

It's also notorious for having the most variations from person to person. Resets, bounces, blowing, tipped cups, etc. All very variable.

Blowing is a lousy rule, IMO.

I am, however, the king of the bounce (which can be swatted, of course) I bounce it low and fast which achieves two goals for me. Either it goes in and I get the two cups, or somebody (possibly drunk, it helps) knocks over cups trying to swat it.

I got someone to swat over 6 cups by doing this.

I always enjoyed the only girls blow rule. Fantastic when you've got a girl partner.

Yeah, we'll do it if there are lots of newbies around, but the girls that usually play with us are good enough NOT to be given any advantage. Plus blowing into a cup full of sand has hilarious results.

We use cups half-full of water. More sanitary without giving up the effect.
