beer pong vs. beirut

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

My knowledge of the beer pong vs. beirut confusion comes from years of playing around the country. There are many myths of the difference of the two games. This is the answer you've been looking for.

Giant Beer Pong

Also known as GBP, Giant Beer Pong is a variation of the game Beer Pong played outside with 12 large trash cans and 2 rubber balls. Cans (6 per side) are set up in a triangle formation 6 to 8 yards apart and players (2 per team) try to make the opposing teams cans.

Drinking: You should be drinking at all times and extra when the opposing team makes cans on your side.

When returning the trash cans to the hardware store after a weekend of Giant Beer pong, we simply stated "The beach clean up was canceled."

56 Cup Beer Pong

(n) A game of beer pong in which 56 cups are used. The cups are lined up in seven rows of eight. There are three players per team. Each player has a "designated cup" on their side. That cup must be filled with beer to the very top. When the opposing team shoots a ball into that cup, the player who chose that cup as his "designated cup" must chug it immediately--the game does not continue until the cup is empty. If all three players on a team make a cup, the balls are "brought back" and that team gets to shoot again. If a ball lands and stays on top of the area where the brims of four cups meet, all four cups are considered hit. Bouncing is NOT two cups. No gentelman's shots. Two balls in the same cup does not end the game--the shooter of the second ball that went in gets to shoot again. Approximate game time is 45 minutes.

Tom, Fini, and Riebel are the ultimate 56 cup beer pong champions...even though Tom was stupid enough to play with Jungle Juice instead of beer. He ended up with his face licking the toilet bowl the rest of the night. Riebel held the team together by hitting every cup his team requested. Fini...well Fini was doing pretty bad but was still happy either way because it was his 20th birthday.
