HOW -TO: Beer Pong

A drinking game in which players attempt to throw ping pong balls across a table into an opponent's half-filled cups of beer.

The loser is required to drink whatever beer is left on the table (in opponent's cups). For sanitary reasons a cup of water is kept at either end of the table to wash the balls off after each throw, but if you've ever played you know it doesn't really help.
