I think if the right type of public health is delivered in colleges, then students will listen and think about the potential consequences. Strong interventions need to start in high school and we need to involve more celebrities. Unfortunately, the message that the public receives is that celebrities often get involved with DUIs and are heavy users of alcohol. This is the wrong message for our teens and college aged adults.

I feel that alcohol use at colleges should not be eliminated, lets face it – it’s a downhill battle. Instead, I feel programs should be implemented to teach college students about the risks of alcohol abuse. The short and long term effects of binge drinking, and provide young adults with alternatives to this college phenomenon.

We here at Poolside Pong have always been active in promoting responsible drinking to our customers and at events. There is no reason that a person of legal age must fear or be looked down upon for wanting to partake in the popular game of Beer Pong – which through the years of college fraternity stories, has received a bad reputation. Beer Pong is in fact a very social sport. It connects people in a friendly, competitive manner. Many bonds have been created during or around a beer pong or poolside pong table.

We here at Poolside Pong suggest the sport for active, responsible adults. We offer the suggestion of playing one round of pong with an alcoholic beverage, then substituting the next round for a non-alcoholic beverage. Play in rotations; have at least 2 teams for each side and take turns. This, and the use of non-alcoholic beverages will allow you to better digest your alcohol and replenish your fluids. You’ll be surprised how much your shot improves using this method also!

Play and Drink Responsibly.
