The Summer Olympics is coming up, and we’re already exhausted by the pesky chore of having to watch people with actual talent win awards. Yes – Mr. Phelps can swim with the best of them, but when’s the last time he artfully executed a keg stand? Watching sober people win shiny medals is like watching the Indian kid win a spelling bee. Good for them, but if we had those institutional advantages we could achieve the same glory.
But we’ve never been to Bangalore, so we look forward to a different type of game. The Flip-Cup Guys have kindly been organizing an Olympics for the rest of us. They’ve taken their love of beer-related gaming and parlayed it into what will be the World’s largest flip-cup tournament. Let’s see Kerri Strug vault on that.
The main event isn’t until October, so prepare by checking out their website and mastering the delicate art of chugging/flipping. The sport is built around teams of six, so it might be time to reconnect with those “friends” who you alienated when you told them the real Olympics are for “sober pussies”.
Barfly will also leave you with some of our patented flip-cup tips. We are a sporty-folk, and have been known to play a few rounds here and there. Beside Drunken Polo and lying our way out of awkward situations – it might be our favorite tipsy pastime.
Tips for succeeding in flip-cup:
-Intimidate opponents by glaring across table and screaming “Who’s America’s sweetheart now!” - To chug faster, learn how to hold breath and siphon beer up nose. -If it is clear that your team is about to lose, turn game into Flip-Table.
As far as the spelling bee – we recently proved that we could recite the alphabet while walking in a straight line. Don’t we deserve a frickin’ medal for that?

Sweet. I will take on the Flip Cup Guys and crush them myself. Or, I will just show up as a spectator to the World's Largest tournament because I actually suck at this game. Still, sounds like a s**t ton of fun.

My thumb drive right now has around 600 meg of information on it - it is basically the life blood of my business. It has my sites, articles, ebooks, etc - if I lost it I would be very very very sad!
