Honestly man, it's not a distinction that needs to be made.  besides, who the hell plays 'beer pong' with paddles?  and who the hell calls what most know as beerpong, 'beruit'?

I call it beer pong and so does everybody I know, and everyone I've ever met at a party.  Maybe it's a Michigan thing, but I've never heard it called beiruit.

Calling beirut "beer pong" is retarded. Beer pong, like many people have said in this thread, involves paddles. beirut is throwing.

I have only heard beruit from people on facebook. So in california and washington and stuff we say beer pong for (usually) 10 cups and throwing the balls. No paddles

You really don't know what  you're talking about do you? Dartmouth invented beer pong which was played with paddles. A few kids from Lehigh University were up visiting their Dartmouth friends and brought it back to Lehigh. The frat at Lehigh that was playing it broke all of their paddles and just started throwing it. They called this new game 'Beruit' because it was during the Lebanese Civil War and Beruit was the newly formed capital.

everyone calls it pong yet plays beirut, it doesn't matter

beirut is throwing the ball into cups in the center, pong is hitting the ball into cups in the corners using a ping pong paddle with no handle

California:
Beer pong, 10 cups, 3 beers
30 rack/pack. The two are pretty much interchangeable.

Real beer pong > gayruit.  Seriously, it's so much more fun to try and play ping pong while drunk than to throw a fucking ball at some cups, I mean c'mon, that's just fucking dumb.

I have a question-- is it "Beirut" (like the city) or as most of you have been spelling it "Beruit"

The latter makes sense if you use the shortening "ruit" but makes no historical sense.
