You can tell it’s a slow news day when we start running with beer nuggets like this…And beer pong at the Royal Wedding after party? What, no wet T-shirt contest?
Here’s the deal…
Serena Williams has become the talk of the royal wedding after-party, after the 23-time grand slam tennis champion “crushed it” playing beer pong, diminishing all comers.
Unlike tennis , Beer Pong is hardly a sophisticated sport…Basically the drinking game consists of opposing players throwing a Ping-Pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in a cup of beer on the other end.
When a ball lands in a cup (known as a ‘make’), the contents of that cup are consumed by the other team and the cup is removed from the table. The first team to eliminate all of the opponent’s cups is the winner. And the losers by then are nothing but drunken fodder.
“Serena Williams played beer pong like it was tennis,” a reception attendee reportedly told The Sun, and it didn’t hurt that she reportedly wore athletic trainers under her Valentino gown.
While the type of the beer used during the competition has not been confirmed, the drinks business reported yesterday that guests were served Bohemia, a lager brewed in a collaboration with north London brewery Two Tribes and Chef Clare Smyth.
