    Not all Americans play beer pong, it's silly I suppose for others who are outside of America. Perhaps it's the fact that they are tipsy, drunk, or shitfaced while playing it so the others will laugh and think it's hilarious as well as being the three options I mentioned.

    i love beer pong. it's fun to me like any sport like basketball would be fun to a basketball player. Granted basketball is pretty boring and stupid, but beer pong is really fun, or at least if you are good at it.
    what's a freaking stupid type of drinking game that americans play is ones where you dont even do anything, and just have to drink based on something that happens. Like a card game where what card you draw dictates how much you have to drink, or watching tv shows and drinking every time they say something.

    It's because Americans are stupid.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much.

        They're a nation that gets fed bullshit constantly, be it in media, TV, movies, music.

        I'm not surprised they have no patience.

    It's not so much the throwing of the balls into the cups that's fun to the people, it's the drinking that goes along with it.

    Whenever they got a ball into a cup, they drank the contents, right?

        Well, it's the same with most games and sports. Most sports revolve around getting a ball into a certain area so why is this different? I can understand not liking it yourself (I don't either), but it's not really that different than basketball and soccer's not that far off.

        Also, if the beer is warm, it probably doesn't taste too good, so it's a good incentive not to lose.

            I have played it but I don't actually drink so it's a bit different. I just drink energy drinks instead.

            As to the point about the beer being cold, it really shouldn't be. It may just be that the people playing were terrible at it. A normal game takes 20 minutes at the most so the beer would still be cold.

            Also, the beer for after football or soccer is celebratory. In beer pong, it's somewhat of a punishment. It's just there to make it harder to aim and truthfully to give a reason to get drunk for many.

    That's not how I played beer pong. I actually used the paddle to hit the ball in the cup. But truthfully, most drinking games are kind of stupid.

    In the summer, my neighbors like to play "you honk, we drink." They sit in the front yard with a sign and when a car honks, they drink. Sometimes it turns into "you honk, we dance."

    Personally, I don't like clubbing. It's loud and impersonal. I prefer parties in an actual home. But that's me.
