What is the equipment in Beer Pong?
Verdict

Why people argue about this
People often assume that only beer can be used in Beer Pong games, which leads them to believe they must use real beer bottles as cups. However, the official rule allows for substitution of beverages like soda or water, so using anything that fits within the cup size guidelines is perfectly acceptable and legal.
