Beer Tennis

[oldpear]

Two friends and I came up with this game in college to unite our two passions (OK, we weren't exactly passionate about beer, but we held it in high esteem). Since then we've played off and on, mostly off, unfortunately, since we all live in different states now

Addendum

The way the game is set up the more you lose the more you lose. Of course, as you get drunker you get bolder (i.e. more manly), so you drink a little less. But bolder often means reckless and you keep losing. You also have to drink every time you lose a game. The ref might also make you drink for being stupid. Stupidity isn't manly. What often happens when I start to lose it, is I will just keep going for my opponent's cup. Not very prudent when you consider I've only ever hit a cup once in 15 years.

It's especially interesting when you realize that your best chance of winning actually lies in hitting the cup, rather than actually playing tennis. And in fact, I did once win by hitting the cup, when I was far too drunk to have any prayer of winning any other way...
