Beer Pong gives you herpes

According to the Center for Disease Control reports of the virus are up 230% in people ages 17 - 21. This increase is due to sharing cups while playing beer pong.

Scared of playing beer pong now? The CDC gives this great suggestion for safe ponging, “Flip cup is great because each individual has their own cup. If it’s absolutely necessary to play beer pong, use the waterfall method. Many young adults, when asked if they practice safe pong, responded that they rinse the ball after it bounces off the table.”


Get tested and play safe.

  • This is why I stick to my favorite drinking game. It's called, "Drinking," and in it, you get a drink, preferably one with an obscene amount of alcohol in it, then you drink it as fast as you can. Once the drink is empty you get another one and repeat. It's really fun, and I always win!

  • It's because the herpes virus is essentially just the same as the cold sore virus.

  • After you guys just did a pod on the World Beer Pong Championships...classic. Luckily I made it through 5 years of excessive alcoholism in college and another 5 years in the LA club scene without ever playing beer pong once. What are the odds?

  • I played beer pong weekly all throughout my uni years in the states and never contracted herpes. That said. I can see some adventitious young students requiring a medical release before playing or testing one.

  • They play Beer Pong once a week at my work. It confuses me. The first thing I said when I saw it was "Boy that looks un-hygenic". Guess I was right...

  • It always pained me to play drinking games in which you're expending all your energy to make the other team drink--that's why you keep a personal beer off to the side, and with a black marker write May Cause Herpes on it.

  • L Lysine is a powerful effective easy preventive treatment for Herpes cold sore outbreaks that I have used for 25 years with 100% effectiveness. I take 500-1,000 milligrams on an empty stomach to prevent . I use it only when I feel a tingle in my lip that is the pressure of the outbreak. You will not cure the virus..it will always be in your body but will prevent outbreaks.

    Don't let drug companies and advertising fool you!
    They want your money and don't care about you.

    It is an imbalance if two chemicals in your body...arginine found in chocolate in nuts..and LLysine.
    Sometimes if you eat too much chocolate on Halloween you will get it..just pop this supplement and you will probably be fine.

    Our US garbage for facts news won't tell us this because they are supported by the drug commercials and this type of advertising is banned in other countries.
    This is immoral and disgusting.

    What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for cold sores? (more on his page but this is what I do cut and slightly edited by carolyn)

    To prevent onset, do the following at first sign of tingle of pressure in lip

    Avoid foods rich in the amino acid arginine, which can activate the virus. These foods include chocolate, cola, beer, grain cereals, chicken soup, gelatin, seeds, nuts and peas.

    Taking L-lysine can reduce the frequency of attacks of oral herpes in some people. Take 500-1,000 milligrams a day on an empty stomach to prevent recurrence when you feel a tingle in your lip.

  • Love that people who are having fun are causing pain....they are like a mini president with mini power over a mini group of people they've had contact with. They are making their lives worse just by being there.
