Northeastern states, particularly New Hampshire (1.66 gallons) and Vermont (1.58 gallons) have some of the highest beer consumption rates in the country. New Hampshire doesn’t have state sales tax, … Read more

Hasbro Capitalizes on Beer Pong

"Cuponk!  Beer pong without the beer.The Greatest Name in Games" has paved the pathway to future Beer Pong excellence with a series of "games" called Cuponk.  The object of Cuponk, a creation of Hasbro, is to get a ping-pong ball in a cup doing any number of special moves or trick shots using whatever surfaces are available.  The cup makes noise to reward you for your talents and if you actually use the cards provided, and complete the trick called for, you can get points and keep score.
