Never have I ever played a lame-ass drinking game with cups of water and had my college tell me that it was totes against the rules.  But that's because I don't go to Dartmouth.  A recent Time magazine article entitled "The War Against Beer Pong," describes the demise of Wii's upcoming Beer Pong game, part of their new line of "Frat Party Games" (what's next--Superman That Ho?).   Apparently, haters took issue with the word "beer," and now the game is set to be released as Pong Toss, with party cups full of water instead of brewskis.

As ridiculous as this sounds, the banning of beer pong is not so far removed from our own ivy-covered buildings.  The article cites Yale and the University of Pennsylvania as schools that now ban drinking games because, evidently, your R.A. will magically know when you and your roommate watch Ocean's Eleven and do a shot of Stoli every time Brad Pitt's character eats or drinks something.

I mean, I get it, drinking games are a way for people to get drunk, but if they really want to wake up the next morning with a pounding headache, won't students just...get drunk anyway?
