How To Play Beer Pong - Long Island Style

Long Island beer pong is one of the many specialized ways to play the game with a style based on your location

. For Long Island style you will need to have ten cups on either side of the ping-pong table in a pyramid formation. Generally, each side will require three beers to fill the cups. When in the play, a ball that touches anything, including a cup, can be grabbed.

When bouncing the ball, this constitutes two cups but after the ball hits the table after a bounce, it is fair game to block it. Cups are generally re-racked into a pyramid formation when six cups and three cups are left over. However, if four cups remain on either side, they are instead put into a diamond formation. If two cups remain, they are placed in front of each other to make them a little more difficult to sink. When the final cup is still standing, it is then placed on either corner of the table.

Once it is hit, the losing team then has the ability to match it by getting either one or two balls in. This depends on whether or not the winners used both shots or only one to sink the last cup since each team member gets an opportunity before their opponents play. If the losing team is able to sink both the winner's cups, the game is then reset with three cups and one beer per side that constitutes as overtime. This type of game is generally very exciting and can lead to extreme drunkenness in tandem with very intense game play.

If the winning team has any leftover cups on their side, it is mandatory that the losing team drink them. This can be either one team member or both, depending on the level of intoxication. Furthermore, if any player, for whatever reason, drops a ball or accidentally sinks their own cup, that player must consume it - if they manage to sink their own cup, they pretty much deserve it.

In some cases, a ball may be spinning on the rim of a cup before actually getting wet by the beer. If this happens, only girls are allowed to blow it out. However, if it gets wet then they are no longer allowed to continue blowing and must consume the beer in that cup.

Long Island beer pong is not for the faint of heart. It generally uses more beer than regulation beer pong and can easily reset to an ongoing game of consumption. Although it does have a gender specific feature, it generally always ends up in complete intoxication in the end. It is important to be responsible while drinking to ascertain you have a fun, yet safe, experience.
