Rules:
My dirnking game from home is Flong and I picked this one up over by the ocean coming to Rhode Island. In Flong you have 4 people and you set up in each corner of a table and you set the cup into a diamond. Your teammate is diagonally across from you. Your opponent is next to you. You throw the ball into the cup of your partner. IF you make it, then they slide the cup over to the opposing team’s player who is next to them and they have to drink it and flip it successfully before they can resume throwing. Whoever gets rid of their cups first wins the game. This game is not as popular but it is more of a mix it up kind of game. Beirut is a little bit more nuanced Beirut in case you get bored of regular drinking games.

Informant’s comments: This game is a great way to spice it up if you get bored of regular drinking games. The nature of the game is competitive and the fun part is that your opponents are right next to you while your partner is positioned diagonally from you. This game is great for socializing because the aspect of passing your cup to your opponent to drink is sort of provocative and adds to the competitive nature of the game.

Collector’s comments:This game fits our description of a ball game and falls within the category of Beirut and and beer pong. The game appears to be much more American in comparison to Pi Pi and Pin Pan Pon. The competitive nature of the game and unique distribution of players at the table makes this game a very exciting example of how drinking games are used to break the ice in socializing.
