Beer Pong Table Project
DaOld Man:
Never played beer pong, played a similar game called quarter shots, where you had to bounce a quarter into a shot glass full of whiskey.
If you missed, you had to drink the shot, if you hit it, you could pick either of the players to drink it.
Of course there was always one player that every one picked on, until he passed out.

That is NOT Beer Pong. ;D That game is called Beruit. Beer Pong is played on a large table with ping-pong paddles. One cup of beer on positioned dead center a paddle's length from the back edge on each side (or in from the edge on both sides if playing doubles). You hit a ping pong ball over the net with the object being to try and get the ball in the other player's cup. If it goes in you chug an entire cup of beer. If it hits the cup at all and you don't "save" it (by returning the ball on one bounce in bounds across the net) you have to drink 1/4 of the beer. Scoring goes 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, etc. until someone reaches 11, 15 or 21 points. You get super drunk and games take a while but there isn't a better drinking game around if you have the room. Back in college pretty much everyone in my fraternity could hit the cup at least on about 1 in 3 tries.... ahhhh.... college....
Cool sounding project though - can't wait to see your table!

The first time I've seen that game was in the movie Beer fest. As a recent grad of OSU, beer pong has always been the game described by roberts. Maybe it's different in different states, but I've never played or seen anyone play your version of beer pong at OSU.
...However it seems like a fun game :)

jav's right. Beruit gets mixed up with the Beer-Pong name due to the use of ping-pong ball. That and the "pro beer-pong" league advertises it as Beer Pong, since it's more accessible of a name than Beruit is to Americans.
Though, it's funny, their how-to-play site states the game as being Beer-Pong/Beruit. I guess they know the name isn't entirely accurate.
Are you going for an official sized table (8 feet long - 2 feet wide)? Is it going to be fold-able/store-able?
