Beer pong is getting even bigger: Vegas now has $50,000 World Series of Beer Pong (in its fourth year), and it's leaving college campuses and going mainstream:
More bars are setting up tables and weekly tournaments. A new documentary, "Last Cup: Road to the World Series of Beer Pong," captures the growing pong culture. "Beer Pong" the video game was designed for Nintendo Co.'s popular Wii game system, but JV Games Inc. changed the name to "Pong Toss" amid complaints about appropriateness for teenagers. The World Series of Beer Pong has seen its ranks swell five fold since its first tournament in 2006.

Great GKC quote earlier this week from Tim J. at Old World Swine (drinking on Monday, Tim?): "I hope (though I myself have only just thought of it), that the four rivers of Eden were milk, water, wine, and ale. Aerated waters only appeared after the Fall."

I saw this awhile back and I think I may have posted it already. My apologies if it's a drunken repeat:
German teens who are into boozing are getting a load of before-and-after coasters that are driving them sober.
One of the beer mats features photos of happy, sober youths on one side, and unconcious teens, bombed out of their minds and wallowing in puddles of their own vomit, on the flip side.
Another coaster has a boy showing off his muscle to chicks, and then there's the "B" side - with the same kid having passed out and [sprayed] in his pants.

Wasn't me, honest: A school bus driver made an unscheduled stop at a liquor store, then allegedly asked a student to help hide her purchases when police stopped her, the district superintendent said.
