improvise beer pong supplies

When isn't a bro down for a game of beer pong? When there's no beer pong apparatus in his immediate vicinity. Well, thanks to our old pal Benjamin Lee at eHow.com, we now know how to improvise supplies like CIA spies.

Beer Pong, AKA Beirut, is undoubtedly the timeless sport of kings. Students of the game should naturally play on 8 foot tables with proper 38mm ping-pong balls, 16 ounce Solo cups and frosty Coors Light. But often in foreign climes or for freshmen without cars, the requisite supplies are wanting. This guide is designed to help improvise. Beer and cups are easy to improvise. Any 14 cups will do, even coffee mugs (a notoriously difficult shot, though) and any liquid will do, even Keystone Light. For tables and balls, often the hardest supplies to acquire, there are clever options.

Household items you'll need:

-Aluminum Foil

-Toilet Paper

-Some sort of flat surface at least 3 feet off the ground

Step1

Tightly fold 3 to 4 sheets of toilet paper in a ball.

Step2

Encase with about three layers of aluminum foil; just enough to keep its integrity. Your goal is make the ball as light as possible.

Step3

Voila! Each ball will last about a dozen shots before the liquid seeps through to the toilet paper, irrevocably weighing down the ball. Repeat this process as necessary.

Step4

For the table: All you need is a flat surface that can support a little weight and is at least 3 feet off the ground. Chairs make for excellent supports, as do large garbage bins. Bedboards, large cardboard boxes, and plywood all make good surfaces. Again: flat and stable is all you need.

Step5

Lay out the cups. If you are playing on a 4 foot long table, mark a line at least 2 feet from the table for each side. This is where players will shoot from. Defense can play close to their cups.

Step6

Strictly enforce the Elbow Rule. This means that the shooter’s elbow cannot cross the plane of the table’s edge while shooting. Unlike playing on a regular table, where a table's edge contains leaning, the Elbow Rule forces players to keep the minimum distance. This makes for a fair game.

Step7

Negate all shots that break the Elbow Rule. Leaning is for wimps anyway.
