Mastering Beer Pong: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

To play Beer Pong, you'll need a long table, 20 plastic cups, 2 ping pong balls, and plenty of beer. The table should be at least 8 feet long, and the cups should be standard 16-ounce party cups.

Step 2: Set Up the Game

Arrange 10 cups on each end of the table in a pyramid shape (4-3-2-1). Fill each cup with beer. Each team stands on opposite ends of the table.

Step 3: Determine Who Goes First

Each team takes a turn trying to throw a ping pong ball into one of the other team's cups. The team that makes a shot first gets to go first in the actual game.

Step 4: Playing the Game

Teams take turns trying to throw their ping pong balls into the other team's cups. If a ball lands in a cup, the other team must drink the beer from that cup. The first team to eliminate all of the other team's cups wins.

Step 5: Re-racking

Teams can request to 're-rack' or rearrange their remaining cups up to two times per game. This can be done when they are reduced to 6, 4, 3, or 2 cups.
