Alcoholic America's favorite pastime is going strong in Baltimore bars. Good news for you, since—in your tiny apartment far from college frat houses—you're suffering from withdrawal. 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. As one story goes, the brothers broke their last paddles one night and invented Beirut. This is the game you love, and the game that has invaded Baltimore bars under the stolen identity of beer pong. So, how to play?
