Beer Pong TARGET is a popular drinking game in which players attempt to throw a ping pong ball into a CUP of beer. The goal of the game is to land the ball in the CUP, which is referred to as the 'TARGET'. The CUP is usually filled with beer, but other liquids can be used as well. The game is typically played by two teams of two players each, and the team that successfully lands the ball in the CUP first wins the game.
