The Dark Side of Drinking Games

You and your friends decide to play beer pong. While this game may seem like it's up to you how much you're drinking, you're actually totally powerless. The amount you drink is actually at the whim of the other players, which can make this game extremely dangerous.

If you do choose to play, a safer alternative is to fill the cups with water instead of beer and then drinking from your own cup instead throughout the game. This will help you pace yourself and keep track of how much you're drinking.
