As it turns out, a new game coming out later
this month for the popular gaming system is called "Frat Party Games:
Beer Pong". Using a "Wii-mote," the game simulates the real drinking
game, but it's been approved for kids as young as 13-years-old.

The game has some people concerned and Carrie Haugan one of them. A mother
of two from Brandon, she doesn't like the idea of a "beer pong" video
game especially since it's rated suitable for ages 13 and up. She
said, "We don't need to teach kids to drink, you know, get ready for
drinking games. They'll start drinking earlier maybe."

The game apparently simulates beer pong. Also called beirut, beer pong is
a popular drinking game played by college students and at various bars.
To play, cups filled with beer are put on opposite sides of a table and
each team tries to throw a pingpong ball into a cup. Once the ball
lands in that cup the the opposite team has to chug the cup of beer.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board rates video games, like "Frat Party
Games: Beer Pong." They gave it a "T" rating, which means teens can
purchase and play the game. The board saw no ties to promoting alcohol
within the game. Instead, they say players are just tossing balls in a
cup. At the same time, game creator JV Games says their version doesn't
promote drinking, but they're going to change the name to "Pong Toss."

Still, parents like Carrie Haugan don't buy it. She said, "Well, they know it's a drinking game. It'll encourage drinking."

The game is set to be released at end-month. It will be sold in stores across the country.
