k this needs to be set straight. it doesnt matter what size of cups you play with or anythign like that. if you use paddles (like beerfest) its called beer pong.( if you go to the keystone factory u can actually get keystone beer pong paddles). if you throw or bounce the ball it is called beirut.

no my firend, you are wrong. You posted a link to Dartmouth collegfes own version check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_pong thatll set you straight. If we went by what you said, you be calling thousands of college kids liars.

listen bud. u have no idea what you are talking about. think about it. beer pong- ping pong? ping pong is played with paddles, wouldnt beer pong be too? plus u dont always play what i call beirut on a ping pong table but often on a piece of ply wood. to play beer pong you must use a pong table. if u dont beleive watch beerfest or go to the keystone factory and ask what their ping pong paddles are for.

actualy if you ask any professor or any teacher, they will say wikipedia is one of the worst sources to cite. its an unprofessional, public site that anyone can go and edit, half of it is inaccurate or wrong.

first of all, i've never met anyone who plays with fucking paddles. that is the lamest shit ever. second of all, i know people from the south, west coast and all over the midwest who all call it beer pong. the only people i know of who call it beirut are northeasterners. plus, look at all the national websites and organizations for the game: they all call it beer pong. really, it doesn't matter which you use, but the vast majority of people say beer pong.

"The difference between Beer Pong and Beirut is that Beer Pong refers to any variation of the game that uses paddles to hit the ball in the cup, while in Beirut, the ball is thrown by hand, " said Jason Keith, head of the National Beer Pong League.

oh yes... wikipedia. Definitely proves everybody wrong. Too bad any dumb schmuck can put stuff on wikipedia. Try citing it for a paper, and you're professor wil own you.

wow i agree wiht lil g? Amazing. But, don't rip playing with paddles before you try. It actually takes skill and is a lot of fun. It takes a bit longer, but it is a lot of fun. I thought it was retarded before i tried it, and since I'm and equal oppurtunity drinking game man, i play both, mostly pong cause thats what is played here.
