"Hi, my name is Russell Meryerowitz I'm with Expert Village. This is how to play beer pong. This is what you need to play beer pong. Basically all you need is a table rather it's the ping pong table, plywood table or the portable table. You need 22 cups, ten cups on each side for each team in a water cup, the water cup is used to clean off the 2 ping pong balls you need. Usually you'll go through quite a few ping pong balls throughout a game depending on where you're playing. So it's probably a good idea to have more than 2 balls with you when you're planning on playing the game. Then in order for the cups to stay on the table and part of the game is filling up the cups with your choice of liquid. Obviously with the name beer pong of common liquid to use is an alcoholic beverage, usually a lite beer however, it could be played with water or soda or whatever you choose to play the game with. The cups that we use for beer pongs are usually standard 16 oz Dixie cups, red Dixie cups or blue. That is the standard cup, you can really use in any type of cup that you like. Sometimes if the cup is smaller it makes the game a little harder. The balls range from a 38 millimeter to a 40 millimeter ping pong ball, a standard ping pong ball that is all you need."
