Oh yeah.

And you can buy beer until 2am if you can find the right liquor store.

I've made many the drunken beer walk to the liquor store at 1:00am to re-stock.

Live in AB for a while and then you will begin to appreciate having private stores.

Much more convenient, and by that I mean better locations, better hours and more outlets.

Better variety. There are many (many, many) more micro brews/craft brews available available at the local stores. And that is just beer. I was almost exclusively a beer drinker when I lived in Ont, so other than occasional bottles of hard liquor, I can't comment on the wine/liquor selection comparison.

I experienced 10+ years with each system, the AB one is far superior.

Those official beer pong rules suck though. Here's how the game should be played:

Bounces allowed, and worth two if they go in, but can be swatted away.
No water...it's for pansies.

I was taught that you had to bounce it once. No more, no less.

Spinners can be blown out.

Spinners? Like if the ball is spinning while floating in the cup? If that's what you mean, I wholeheartedly disagree. The ball is in the cup. You drink. Blowing it out is as weak as blowing your golf ball into the cup when it comes up 1/8 of an inch short.

Never heard of the re-arrange. There should be no re-arranges AFAIC. That would be like re-arranging the four goal targets in the accuracy competition.

A beer pong thread is way overdue. I love beerpong!!

My best beerpong memory is when me and buddy played a bunch of Canucks fans at a house party in Calgary, and beat them all night and took home the championship. Always great to beat Canucks fans at anything.

Really?

I may be missing out on things, but the LCBO store and Beer store near me...kind of suck with their hours. During the week, at least half of the time they close at 5 or 6. I don't know, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now I guess, but they don't do much for me.

Sorry for the off-topic little blurb there.

Sorry about that, forgot to specify that part.

Indeed, Szott was quite the female bit of genitalia. But he did eventually man up to finish his drink. It's too bad it had to be a game ender, but such are the breaks in beer pong.

I'm going to have to disagree with you good sir...blowing rarely occurs, and when it does, there's a big momentum shift. And who doesn't like momentum shifts?

We've found through much scientific testing and fieldwork that the re-arrange is incredibly helpful in speeding up games. It's boring having two teams going back and forth missing wildly and not getting any more impaired.

Right. Blowing is huge when it actually works.

Right again

4X4 · 02-10-2009, 02:21 PM

Hmmm... Well upon consideration of your replies, I'm going to have to agree with you about re-arrange. I do recall some games taking forever because one cup. But the spinners (assuming that I'm understanding it correctly) I still disagree about. I hereby challenge you to a duel. To be played out in the form of beer pong. We shall settle this like men! (Irish men)

DuffMan · 02-10-2009, 02:21 PM

what's all this stuff about cups? and do those guys even use paddles in the BP in Vegas
Back when I played, it was a regular type game(ie count to 11, 15 or 21), with paddles. You had a can of beer in front of you, if you hit the other player(team)'s can they drink, if you dent their can they drink 2X, if you knock their can over, they drink what's left, if they knock their own can over it is a 1 can shotgun penalty.
Ball was always live, as long as it was bouncing.
I don't understand the cups, sounds lamo. Water sounds super lamo, because IMO you need to play and practice while drunk, just like a real game.

4X4 · 02-10-2009, 02:24 PM

Duffman, clearly we're talking about two entirely different games that both have claimed the name beer pong. Sorta like football. Euros hate us NAers because we jacked their word. Sounds like you old school beer pongers that bring your paddles hate us young punks with our new-fangled way to get drunk.

Raekwon · 02-10-2009, 02:31 PM

Even in the movie Beerfest they used ping pong paddles, there must be 2 different games

troutman · 02-10-2009, 02:35 PM

We used paddles - to hit the ball, and as weapons in recovering the ball for service. We actually had long rallies - it got harder to hit the opponent's mugs as the game wore on.

BONJOUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

DuffMan · 02-10-2009, 02:55 PM

First time I played Beer pong was about 25 years ago.

I think you damn kids have tainted a once respectable sport, with your cups, and no paddles. Bah.

Don't give them the benefit of the doubt. Government-run liquor stores are a tool of the devil.

Any right-thinking society has a liquor store in every strip mall.

Only girls are allowed to blow.... For obvious reasons!

As for the table question, just go to Home Depot and buy a 2 X 8 sheet of wood and throw over anything you want! (Doors work well too)

Raekwon · 02-10-2009, 03:50 PM

Yeah, looks like laziness won't prevail on this mission. I just really liked the portability of the one on the website and that it was made of aluminum so its not as heavy. Oh well should be easy to make.

I believe the poster above you (jason14?) had a brilliant idea. 'Cept he got his dimensions wrong... A 4x8 sheet of plywood would be perfect. Better yet, get OSB. Spilled beer will just pour right off of the glossy side. Just throw it right on top of your kitchen table. Or else build a couple of horses. The horses can serve multiple purposes. Beer Pong table support, scaffolding (when combined with a 2x10), road blocks (ok, seriously... How many guy here have wanted to pop up a manhole cover and go and find out what's really down there??)... The uses are endless.
