Beer Pong Spreading H1N1 - 11/18/2009
It's called beer pong.
If you've been out of college for some time, the name might not ring a bell, but it's a popular drinking game on many campuses.
You try to throw a ping pong ball in the opposing team's cups of beer and if you make the shot, the other side has to drink out of that cup.
Other than the risk of picking up germs from wherever that ping pong ball falls, colleges are worried that playing the game could spread H1N1.
"If someone has just used a cup who has the virus present, I'm drinking from that cup afterwards, it's easy to see how that transmission could happen," said Cathy Smith, Health Educator, SUNY Cortland.
At ten we'll tell you what some students are doing to minimize the risk of spreading sickness while playing beer pong.
