Beer Pong or Beirut or whatever the kids are calling it these days has surged into the lead as America’s top drinking game. There’s a Beer Pong Movie, two different Beer Pong games for Nintendo Wii, a $50,000 tournament, and black people are playing. The game’s official.

American Equistock Racing is hoping to ride the success of the drinking game by naming one of their racehorses Beer Pong. BP was the sixth horse in the fourth race at Saratoga on Friday.

American Equistock has a horse named Clemens in their stable too. To my knowledge the horse has never used steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Hopefully Beer Pong the game won’t suffer the shame, humiliation, and fall from grace that Roger Clemens is experiencing.

The first beer pong game for the Nintendo Wii, Game Party, was introduced last year and it was received pretty well. The second beer pong game for Nintendo Wii, Frat Party, has not been met with the same enthusiasm. Read the full story

I don’t play beer pong but I have no problem keeping you informed with the latest beer pong news. I’ve already posted about beer pong on the Wii, a 50k bp tournament, and the first black beer pong player. That’s the positive side of the game, but now I have to issue a warning. Do play beer pong with sharp objects nearby. Why? From Orlando’s Local6.com: Read the full story

With the World Series of Beer Pong wrapping up, and Black History Month a few weeks away, it’s time to pay homage to a pioneer. Justin Williams, aka J-Murdah, bka The First Black Beer Pong Player, has opened doors for people like Barack Obama and me. It takes a great man to fight injustice alone.. I can only hope to be half as brave as Justin Williams.

No longer do brothas have to stay home, huddled around a Wii to play beer pong. We can bounce balls into cups in public like the white man. We will still have to find our Larry Bird or Steve Nash to their Lebron James, but at least we’re in the game. The only controversy that remains is whether the Beer Pong Hall of Fame will include J-Murdah’s stats from the Negro Pong leagues. They should, it’s the right thing to do.

I had no idea that beer pong or Beirut was such a big deal to so many people. I thought it was something you do in college and eventually grow out of. I was wrong. Brian Foley, of The College Baseball Blog, passed along this World Series of Beer Pong press release. I was interested from the start.

Sign ups begin this week for the third annual World Series of Beer Pong (WSOBP), a three-day competitive beer pong extravaganza with a $50,000 Grand Prize—the largest prize in the history of beer pong. This year’s event will be held January 1 – 5, 2008 at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada.

$50k to drink beer and bounce balls in cups.. In Vegas. I might need to put together my own team… Email me if you’re down.. If you thought beer pong was just about getting drunk, you’re right, but you’re wrong. WSOBP co-founder Billy Gaines:

“What we’re trying to do with this event is diminish the potential negative aspects of beer pong so we can focus on the positive characteristics of the game: the competition, the socialization, and having a good time. Besides, the growing popularity of beer pong necessitated a national event, which, as fanatical beer pong players ourselves, we are happy to provide.”

And we wanna get drunk… If you think your squad’s got the skills to win it all, sign up at www.bpong.com by December 3rd. Until then you can practice on the Wii.
