Beirut or Beer Pong? Either Way, Great Game
College Football September 23rd. 2008, 1:00pm
The toast of the Bayou this week is hulking LSU freshman QB Jarrett Lee, who rallied the Tigers on the road in Auburn Saturday night to an impressive 26-21 triumph. His cell phone quickly blew up. And, inevitably, fans rushed to his Facebook account to befriend the star QB who might have just swiped the starting job from Harvard transfer Andrew Hatch.
According to a reader, this undated photo, allegedly of Lee, was posted on one of his friends’ Facebook accounts. If it is indeed Lee, it is painfully clear the kid has a better throwing motion than he does beirut form. Larger photo after the jump.

It’s beer pong, what is Beirut?
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:02 PM
It’s Beirut.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:02 PM
An Indie band

It’s the largest city in Lebanon. Other than that I have no idea what the hell Beirut is.

Natural Light pounders? These guys must be rich.
/ambivalent about what the game is called, but prefer “beirut”

bottles > cans

what are you douches, high school kids? any ‘drinking game’ that the winner drinks less in is for chicks. you people disgust me.

He needs to watch his wrist, it looks like it’s going to be past the table.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:07 PM
I don’t see what’s wrong with his form. He’s just standing there.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:08 PM
the argument is ridiculous. people call it different names at different schools. and the rules differ too. but its great fun.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:08 PM
the argument is ridiculous.
Dont tell RWH this.

Beirut? Put me in the confused corner.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:10 PM
I see no chicks, therefore this game sucks.

Don’t condemn the game just because the guy was a sausage party. Chicks love BEER PONG.

Flip Cup and Beer Pong are equally great.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Beirut = throwing a ping pong ball into a pyramid shape of beers at opposite ends of a table.
Beer Pong = utilizing an actual ping pong table and paddles to hit the ball into beers on the corners of the table (think Beerfest).

Thank you, Ben.

Not correct, at least not in VA.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:19 PM
i think its widely accepted that the term beer pong has come to mean beirut

Answers everyone’s questions.

Traditionally Ben is correct, but no one calls it Beirut. Either way just an awesome game. Flip cup is definitely a winner as well.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:24 PM
I am in agreement; I have seen both called beer pong and either way it leads to a lot of beer consumption. Someone explained to me once and that’s how I differentiate them. Flip cup is also fantastic. Goddamn I need a beer.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:24 PM
For my money, give me boat race or landmine any day. I could never get into beer pong.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:29 PM
All I know is, where I come from, only chicks play beer pong. The men play beer die.

Strip Quarters= sitting around an actual table with actual women drinking actual beer taking an actual quarter and bouncing it off an actual table to make an actual women remove all of her actual clothes than having her actually blow you.

Happy: what is landmine?
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:33 PM
what’s with the big stain on the right shoulder there, Jarrett?
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:34 PM
Gosh, even drinking game snobs exist.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 PM
I play “Drink Alone And Cry Because I Have No Friends”
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Clown, that reminds me of how I want to celebrate my 30th birthday. Lock myself alone in my room, drink a 40 of Hurricane, and cry.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:40 PM
drink a 40 of Hurricane
What is this Hurricane you speak of Im guessing Malt liquor but Ive never seen it before.

Flip Cup>Beirut
Only because girls are inherently better at flip cup than guys and they always want to play. Beer pong/beruit requires too much hand-eye coordination for women.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Gotta try battleship. Instead of a triangle, you put out cups in lines of 4, 3, 2 somewhere on your side of the table. Nothing like drunk chicks screaming, ” I sunk your destroyer!!”
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:43 PM
At least this isn’t comment driven.

Irish, watch the Bills fans video.
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:53 PM
has anyone played a drinking game called 7 11 doubles? guaranteed to get all who play very drunk
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 PM
cbh: specncer got mad at a post I made on another thread talking about Bills fans, but that video kinda shows what idiots we are about the Bills. Remember, Tim Russert went every week on Meet the Press and ended his show with…
GO BILLS!
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:55 PM
First off it’s Beiruit…secondly it is nice to see we are still doing the “he is a college kid and it’s fine he is drinking thing” while putting a Picture of it up on a widely read website so it can cause him more problems than it’s worth…Well done…
September 23rd, 2008 at 1:59 PM
JPQ, 3-0 is reason to get excited, I understood their reaction.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Roman, they are at LSU, everyone knows they are drunk already.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Beer. Pong.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:12 PM
Have a table with empties scattered around (landmines). Spin a quarter on the table and drink a beer before the quarter stops spinning or hits a landmine. If you don’t, you try again.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:15 PM
Yet somehow I’ve beaten and seen my girlfriends beat guys every time I’ve been involved in a beer pong game. Hand/eye coordination is not limited to the male species, douche.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:19 PM
Civil War is the best beer drinking game by far
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:23 PM
The winner in beer pong drinks more because they stay on the table and keep drinking. The loser goes back to sipping.
Only yuppie New Englanders actually call it Beirut (as they cheer for the Pats and Sawx).
Flip-cup is for girls.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Small sample size. Even a 15 seed occasionally beats a 2 in the NCAA tournament.
September 23rd, 2008 at 2:51 PM
Flip cups is for girls, but do NOT trash the all-mighty beer-pong.
I’d take a girl on my team anytime, nothing is wrong with the drunk hugs for winning haha.
September 23rd, 2008 at 6:32 PM
It’s beer pong, dammit. In my three years so far, and having visited many other schools to party along the way, I have yet to hear anybody say Beirut.
Girls are generally, not always, but generally not great at pong. Some are however.
And flip cup is fantastic. It gets competitive as hell, and as previously stated, is fun as hell on the basis girls will actually always be willing to play it.
