A pair of U. of Michigan grads have won "The World Series of Beer Pong" held in (where else?) Las Vegas. They split a $10,000 prize (and, one supposes, a trip to the Betty Ford Center).
Beer pong has made the transition from house-party game to being a featured event in bars that host tournaments. Companies sell custom-designed beer pong tables and related products. A merchandiser of beer pong paraphernalia held the "World Series of Beer Pong."
Critics say the game encourages binge drinking, but Coben and Velissaris say it's not about irresponsible drinking. They say it's a way to have a good time with friends.
Except you can't remember who it was you had the good time with, eh?
