Materials

Long table similar to one used in Beer Pong
2 Ping Pong/Table Tennis balls
4 cans of beer per game


Game Play


Peg is played in 2 man teams. Each member of each team opens a can of beer prior to playing. Bottles are prohibited due to hazard of breakage and broken glass. Following the opening of a beer each member places their beer on a corner of the table, team members on the same side. At the start of each turn, 1 team will throw a ping-pong ball at the other teams cans. Upon contact, the player who threw the ball will begin drinking their beer. The player stops drinking their beer when either member of the opposing team grabs the ball that hit the can, touches it to the table, and says "STOP". When this occurs the player drinking stops. However, both players may shoot at any time allowing for advanced strategies to develop.

Game play continues until one team finishes their beers. If one member finishes their beer they are allowed to play defense i.e. the allocation and placement of the ball on the table, however they are not allowed to shoot.

When one member finishes their beer, their team member moves the remaining beer to the center. The player whose beer is remaining is the only player allowed to shoot. However, both players can defend the opponents shots.


Hazards


When a can is low on beer, the defending player is allowed to support the can with their hands to prevent it from tipping over. However, the hands must be concealed as much as humanly possible.
Peg is made much more interesting by the number of people/obstacles in the room. For example, the Alpha-Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi has many different couches, tables, and wood framing in their drinking room. This causes some issues when it comes chasing down the ball as these hazards allow for more drinking time.
