Beer pong is a game loosely based on ping pong. Ten cups stand in a triangle formation at opposite ends of a long table; each set of 10 cups filled with beer are in a triangle formation, like pins in a bowling alley. The goal is to throw a ping pong ball across the table and land it in one of your opposing team's cups. One of your opponents will then have to drink that cup of beer. The team with the most cups wins. College kids are the most common players of this game. Luckily, gifts abound for the most hardcore beer-pong enthusiast.

Not all beer-pong enthusiasts have an official table to play on. For example, lots of beer pong players simply play on a long table. However, according to the official rules of the game, an 8-foot-long table is ideal. Tables come with a variety of colors and logos. You can purchase a beer pong table with the official beer-pong sports logo on the front of it on a black background or white background, not to mention a wealth of different colored patterns and designs. Most tables sold are portable so that your recipient can transfer them to various parties and other celebrations. Purchase such tables at online shops like Thegreatstateofbeer.com or Beerpong.com.

While it's true that a beer-pong player can use any type of ping pong balls to play a game of beer pong with, devoted players use balls especially made for this alternative sport. For example you can purchase beer-pong balls imprinted with phrases like "I heart beer" or "beer pong champion." Some companies make a keg filled with balls so that you never run out. For example, you can purchase these items at online shops like Thegreatstateofbeer.com or Shopgadgetsandgizmos.com.

Racks are one of the items needed for the game to make it more official as the racks keep the cups in the correct triangular formation. You can get basic racks made of plastic or wood for traditional games or specialty racks for your different needs. Some racks have flotation devices attached so that you can play in lakes or swimming pools. Other racks let you store them in the freezer so that you can still play beer pong on a hot summer's day. You can purchase such racks at online stores like Homewetbar.com or Thegreatstateofbeer.com.
