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.

As far as Beer Pong goes.. He placed second in the race and paying some good change.
