With celebs like Paris and Lindsay busted for DUIs, heavy drinking is on the radar like never before. College kids have always played drinking games, but now, beertastic entrepreneurs are making big bucks off of binge drinking. A recent article on ABC.com found several new drinking game-oriented companies springing up.
There's KegWorks, which makes six drinking game-related products, and Get Bombed, which makes products specifically for the game Beer Pong -- a ping-pong ball-based drinking game.
Critics say that these companies encourage reckless behavior, but proponents say it's nothing but harmless fun. Plus, they say they don't actively advertise to underage audiences. "If people are out there looking for it, we provide the service. ...We don't market them actively through a lot of campaigns just because of the funny demographic that plays these games," said Tom McManus, CEO of KegWorks.

Harmless fun. Are they f-ing retarded. They are most definitely promoting binge drinking. They need to grow up and get a life. What a bunch of losers.
WTF cares. If people want to get high, drinking or what not, they will. Power to the people.
Peace Out
Binge drinking happens anyway. Whay not have some fun with it? It's not like drinking games are new or anything. This would be a great thing to bring to a party!

Hey now, we have all done it, some of us are smart and responsible enough to have a designated driver or spend the nite at a friends, its not alcohol that causes the problems, its the dummys who drink and drive or call their ex's at 4 am that cause the problems.

Hey Paris! How's it going? Hey, how's God doing? You said you were becoming spiritual and that you were going to have all these causes you were going to work for. So how come you're partying all the time again, hey?
