A Wii video game based on the popular college drinking game "beer pong" is drawing criticism for its rating and content.

Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal says the rating board made a mistake when it rated "Frat Party Games: Beer Pong" as suitable for children as young as 13.

The manufacturer is now planning on renaming the game to "Pong Toss." But, Las Vegas-based JV Games Inc. argued the video game was not about alcohol, but the growing competitive sport that has developed around beer pong.
Awesome. Wondered how long it would take for this to happen - video games that help you drink beer faster. This game would be much cooler if it had a bunch of these games you could play - quarters, boatraces, etc.

Now, maybe a little risky to rate it ok for 13 year olds though.

Is this game really morally worse than any of the slice 'em up or shoot 'em up games?

I used to play Tapper as a kid. It never made me want to drink or serve beer though?

I think people need to worry about themselves and not what other people are doing.

What is the point of playing beer pong without real beer? I mean i love beating people in beer pong, but i don't see why i would enjoy beating my friends virtually. The best part about pong is watching my friends vomit or do fun runs when they have been drinking too much.

As a friendly party game, my friends and I made Wii Bowling into a drinking game.


You get two chances per frame, as everyone knows. If you get a strike, you are fine. If in the first chance, you only get a certain number of pins, the other people playing make you a one sided bet on how many pins you have to get, or you do a shot. If you get them all, everyone is "safe" We usually use tequila, and do about half shots.

Example:
I get 6 pins down.
You bet me I can't get 3 of the 4 remaining.
I only get two.
I do a shot.
