Love it or loathe it, Beer Pong is big business these days, what with the official World Beer Pong Tour (with several tournaments coming up in NYC) and the annual World Series of Beer Pong (coming this January to Las Vegas).

Drunken frat boys the world over are circle jerking rejoicing, but not the New York State Liquor Authority, which has inexplicably gone on the record against the so-called sport: Beer pong is forbidden because state law “prohibits the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in a manner which does not foster and promote temperance in the consumption.”

Even when the WBPT said water could be substituted for brew-haha, the SLA still spoke up: “Coupled with the fervor individuals have for playing with beer, as inherent to the traditional roots of the game, this competitiveness in itself encourages individuals to consume alcohol.” How fucking lame! Everybody knows drunk frat boys are fucking hot!
