Beer pong promotes drinking in moderation

The Observer, Notre Dame’s student newspaper, published an article on Wednesday about beer pong - For the love of the game.
In it, writer Tae Andrews covers hits on a few of the reasons why she loves the game of beer pong. Tae actually brought up a point that seems to be missed by a lot of beer pong’s detractors: beer pong actually promotes drinking in moderation. Unlike many other drinking games, if you end a game of beer pong without having drank one beer, you are a force to be reckoned with. If you get through a game of flip cup without drinking, it’s because you weren’t playing; maybe you weren’t even at a party, you just imagined it.
The next time you rack up and play a game of beer pong, be proud to know that you are not only playing the greatest sport in college history, you’re also setting a good example for the world. Drink in moderation.
