Here are a few bars where you can get your fix any day of the week. But first, let's refresh ourselves on the rules and remind ourselves: What is beer pong?

Actually, beer pong isn't the game you love. Beer pong originated when bored frat brothers played a drinking game which used actual Ping-Pong paddles.

So, how to play?
