They are called plastic cups. Because we dont supply our parties with fucking glass cups to play beer pong or make mixed drinks with.

because solo cups are awesome. it's just what we drink out of at parties.

>>203453937

Why are they always fucking red???

We use them in Canada too, they are the perfect size for a good amount of beer, yet small enough that your beer wont get warm

cuz we love chewing the tops after we are done drinking them and making them bend opposite way

They're a cheap and easy way to distribute drinks. Generally found at keggers, since everyone is getting drinks from the same place, and the person with the keg can just get a bag of like, 200 of these and everyone has a cup.

PS: Canadian here, but it's the same idea.

>>203453711
I'm English, however, I always assumed it was due to Americans drinking from kegs at parties, whereas here we just bring our own cans?

also, americans dont care about the environment

>>203454050

Sometimes they are blue.

I've only been to a few parties, but these have always always ALWAYS been the cups we used.

*shrug* they're cheap and nobody cares if you break em.

5 DOLLARS FOR A CUP WOOOOOOO

HEY LETS PLAY BEER PONG

HEY LETS PLAY FLIP CUP

HEY LETS PLAY QUARTERS

HEY POUR ME SOME BEER IN MY SOLO CUP!

I mean, we have plastic cups too. But they're white. And when we have to drink out of plastic pints (at gigs etc) they're see-through.

It's for ambiance

we use them because they cheap and convenient, and are generally sturdier than the see through variety, which is good when drunk

Whats wrong America, cant hold your beer?

This is the British version, a lot smaller

>>203453711
its because its true. every big party ive ever been to had these things. they are cheap and u can use em for beer pong. why red? i dunno

HAHAH!!!

OH OP I'm a britfag and i thought that too! Every fucking time these pathetic fucks with their piss weak ladies light beer getting waste in their mid 20s playing games instead of getting lashed.

Fucking losers.

They are red because they are always red.

It's a cultural meme.

it also prevents you from getting a ticket for having an open container, just like a paper bag over the bottle.

Getting lashed = getting drunk. In Britain you can add "ed" to any word to describe getting drunk. Examples:

Trollied.
Twatted.
Monged.
Smashed.
Wardrobed.
Mullered. Etc.

Every store that sells beer by the keg in the US also sells those red pint cups.

Stella Artois is renowned as a quality beer brewed for an average of 6-11 days longer than most other beers using the finest quality hops and barley including Bohemian Saas hops.

It is these Saas hops that give Stella its distinctive full flavour.

The perfect pint of Stella should be served at 6-8 degrees centigrade to ensure the full flavour of the beer.

Now 5% ABV.

What percentage is your Bud Light there mate?

No. Let me explain. You play a game, for example, throwing a ping pong ball into your opponent's cup. At the end you have around 25 minutes playing, 5 minutes drinking. Not a lot of drinking occurs.

I drink for 30 minutes. No games involved. Much more drinking occurs.

True say, I remember the days when that was all there was at barbeques, good times the day after when you have to pick up hundreds

Solo cups are used primarily at high school or college parties.

The beer is cheap and gets you drunk. The jungle juice is cheap and gets bitches to suck cock.

There is NO need for glass cups because stupid drunk pre teens would break them all, and theres no reason to buy natty light into a glass cup.

Things are just done differently. Personally when I went to europe I really loved the beer there, the parties, and the classiness of it all.

But when you want to get fucked up and get streight to the point, nothing like an all american kegger.

Would you go out and buy 200 glass cups for a party, so that they could all be broken by the end of the night and everyones walking around on broken glass?
What about the end of the party where you get to wash 200 glass cups, if theres any that didnt get obliterated?

Jesus I have never seen so many newbs try to talk shti about drinking games before in my life.

When you say shit like "Fuck beer bong, I just drink to get fucked up"

I think this-

A- You drink alone quickly , by yourself, because you have no friends

B- You pound your booze and are the drunken asshole at the party?

Seriously- I have been around the world ( I am an Americunt). Drinking games are not a fucking Americunt thing. They are played all over the world.

Seriously newbs- the whole "I am more of a man because I slam a bottle of booze in 30 min" thing juts makes you seem like giant douche bags.

>>203463245
wtf is work-splitting?

History Lesson Incoming: Also tl;dr.

It all has to do with underage drinking. The problem in the early days of plastic cups is that they were all clear. So underage drinkers would be outside with their drinks and police could see what was in the cups. Sometime later, Solo came out with the opaque red plastic cup, this allowed underager's to conceal what was in their cups. To further the popularity of this cup: back in the 80's beer pong was born at a frat house at Dartmouth. Having used several different cups, it has been proven that plastic cups have the perfect density for beer pong. Not too hard causing the ball to bounce out, with just enough give to allow the ball easier entry into the cup.

Beer pong has become wildly popular across the world, with the already huge popularity of the red cups and a culturally renowned drinking cup. They were easily transitioned into play for beer pong, making the number one party cup in America.

>>203453711
>>203453711

I found the same cups in like an assortment of colors and use them at my parties cause it makes me cool and different.

>>203461310
well, I understand that point of view, being that you're an american. As I said, you people have no style.

>>203461659
See, not all people go to drink/ to a party to smash the damn glasses, but to have a good time. Being that I've seen the americunts way of "partying" (binge-drinking without brains) and conclude that you dont know how to party with class. And yes, at my house there are probably 50 glasses, not ugly ones, that can are given to people at parties.

speaking from actual experience, parties don't always feature a ubiquitous red cup. people bring all sorts of shit to drink from. Most people drink straight from the can or bottle, and inevitably some person brings a bag of cups to use. Of course, there is always the douchbag who brings his own glass mug so he can feel "euro" or whatever the fuck, proceeds to get hammered, and smashes.loses it.

In regards to beer choice, let me just say it is fairly despicable to see so-called "artisan" brews and expensive imports being consumed to the point of no-recall.

This is an awesome thread. Fascinating.

It's the butterfly effect in action.

In the US as opposed to other western countries, the legal age to purchase alcohol is higher and individual kegs can be easily ordered to your home. Just because of that, the entire culture of drinking beer is so very different.
