Beer pong is an activity that normalizes and encourages heavy binge drinking, shows blatant disregard for the dangers of alcohol poisoning, and can cost lives and result in injury. Furthermore, promoting the video game Beer Pong in the Frat Party Games series under a Teen rating ignores the fact that many youth involved in fraternities on college campuses are not of legal drinking age and that youth as young as 13 can purchase the game under this rating. - General Arthur T. Dean of the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America

I think it's kind of funny. The game promotes the sport of beer pong. We are not advocating drinking any more than watching cartoons or watching the TV show 'Cheers,' or even going bowling or to a baseball game... if anything, you're going to be drinking less. Because you are too busy playing the game, trying to beat your opponent, to be constantly picking up a beer and drinking it. - JV Games' spokesman Vince Valenti

Man, this is a tough call. I see where Mr. Dead is coming from, and I hear what Valenti is saying as well. I don't know...personally, I think it is a little strange to see this type of game hit the Wii without a Mature rating.
