  The doctor was saying that by kids responding that they rinse the balls off they do not understand the idea of “safe beer pong” because they don’t even know there is a problem. They see a problem with a dirty ball and not sharing cups, the thought of spreading disease from one person to another didn’t even enter their heads. You should probably think things through before you make fun of them.

  This is exactly the reason I play with water in the cups…just treat it like any other drinking game, take a sip from your own beer and make sure your beer is finished by games end…
  A) no ball cleaning
  B) no herpes

  I agree with you, Jane. Karman, you are a dumbass. Once you have Herpes, even if it’s just Type 1, you have it for life. Sometimes you get breakouts, which you would call ‘getting it again.’ ‘I hate people who hate on shit they don’t even know about.’ Check your facts before you post something. Also, quit spreading Herpes to the people you play pong with, idiot, and use water in the cups.

  Dear Jane & Lea,

  You are the idiots. My sister had herpes for about 3 months when she was 15yrs old and it transfered to me somehow. I didn’t get it from BEER PONG and it won’t transfer through beer pong. The author of this article is a fear monger who’s trying to make flip cup more popular. The scary thing is… It’s working.

  Herpes = Curable. Take if from me, i used to have it!

  So Karman makes out with his sister? Sick…

  Karman,

  There is NO cure for herpes (yet). Current herpes treatments can only prevent outbreaks. And if your sister had a herpes outbreak for 3 months, and it somehow transferred to you (I’m assuming you didn’t make out with your sister), what makes you think it can’t be transmitted by sharing a cup with an infected person in the middle of an outbreak?? More than 50% of the population has herpes without knowing it anyways, so this wouldn’t really stop me from playing beer pong (although playing with water in the cups sounds like a good alternative).

  It looks like this is a bogus story. No one at the CDC could verify or find information about Dr Desario stating anything about “Beer Pong” and herpes.

  There is a difference between mouth herpes and viral herpes. The only way you could get viral herpes (the uncurable one) would be if your opponents were sticking their genitals into the glass you drank out of.

  BTW – when that starts happening, I don’t think it’s “beer pong” anymore…
