“You don’t have to drink to have fun.” That’s what boring people say. No, seriously, I know this is true, but it seems like having an adult beverage or two lightens the mood and amps up the party just a bit. It’s not like I’m advocating drinking just to get drunk – I prefer to keep the mood festive by playing a game or two with my brewski of choice. There are plenty out there to choose from, so you can decide whether you want to get completely schnockered or if you’d prefer a slow descent into the beer goggle phenomenon.
Depending on your level of skill, the Shot Pong Game Set (KegWorks, $15.95) will be a fast or slow ticket to Drunktown. On the plus side, since you’re using two ounce shot glasses instead of regular sized cups, you’ll be able to practice your throwing skills all night long. And while one of those most common problems with setting up a game of beer pong is the space needed, it’s not an issue with this set because you’ll only need about half as much space as a regular game. The included triangle racks also help minimize the mess because they’ll keep your shot glasses in perfect alignment on the table (no more hardcore throws knocking full cups onto the floor). Both myself and the manufacturer do not recommend or condone the use of liquor with this set (and if you have to ask why, then you’re just stupid).
This would actually be a great way to determine the ultimate beer pong champion. Sure, anyone can make a couple of lucky shots into a big plastic red cup, but what about tiny shot glasses? This is where we separate the men from the boys!
