Do you play beer pong?

I’m hoping to write my column next week about a Rockford native, Dan Lindsay, who is premiering his new documentary, “LAST CUP: Road to the World Series of Beer Pong,” beerpong-2.JPGwhich is a drinking game.
If you play or have played, blog about it here. And if you want to be included in a story about it, e-mail me at gbraun@rrstar.com as soon as possible but by 5 p.m. Thursday, May 22, and include your name and phone number.

    You want to do what? Throw dirty balls in my beer? Then I drink it? No. No thank you.

    Drinking games are overall bad news. They encourage people to drink at a faster pace than they normally would. Also, drinking games are considered illegal at a bar.

    That being said, I’m sure Mr. Lindsay’s documentary will be fun to watch.

    Actually in Beer Pong people will drink no more then one beer each game and in a tournament you will probably play at max 6 games over the course of one day (so about 6 beers over 6 hours). Also drinking the beers, in competition especially, is not enforced and I\’ve never seen a drunk player win a tournament, only the sober can last and continue to hit shots.

    Not to shoot you guys down, but in real tournaments, at least here in the northwest, we play the tally system, you dont leave the table unless you lose, now to do some math, some people get better as they get drunker, its not about lasting sober, its about playing till you drop, me and my cousin associated with the PPPA went 23 games in 6 hours, undeveated, playing over 23 different players and teams, it gets intense, me and my cousin have also played and traveled to colleges playing, we have gone on a 40 game undefeated streak over a 3 day tourny, and have smashed some of the best players at major universities, by no means are we alcoholics, but we practice our game, on tuesdays and thursdays, and are associated with some other teams. we will have our website up shortly, look for the PPPA as a key word
