Você já ouviu falar sobre o “Beer Pong”? Ele é um jogo de bebida muito popular entre os universitários norte-americanos.

Ele pode ser disputado ‘um contra um’ ou em duplas.

O objetivo do jogo é simples: embebedar. O segundo objetivo é você acertar a bolinha de ping pong dentro do copo do adversário. E toda vez que isso ocorre, o adversário deve tomar a bebida que está no copo que foi acertado.

E aí, quer aprender a jogar? Siga os passos:

1) Prepare o jogo

Esse é a maneira ideal de montar o desafio do “Beer Pong”:

Lembrando que você vai precisar de uma mesa bem grande (e bem reta de preferência), copos mais resistentes e algumas bolinhas de ping pong. A disposição dos copos é sempre dessa forma (como na sinuca)… E não existe quantidade definida de copos, você pode colocar quantos vocês aguentarem beber.

2) A bebida

Como o nome diz, geralmente a bebida usada no jogo é a cerveja. Mas você pode usar a bebida que você preferir. Faz parte da brincadeira, também, colocar alguns copos com bebidas mais fortes (tequila ou vodka) entre os outros de cerveja.

3) Preenchendo os copos

O ideal é preencher os copos até a metade. No caso das bebidas fortes, pode ser uma dose menor (para ninguém ir parar no hospital alcoolizado).

4) Kit de Limpeza

Vale a pena ter um balde de água e uma toalha (ou papel toalha) para higienizar a bolinha de ping pong quando ela vai parar fora da mesa (o que mais ocorre nesse jogo).

5) Como jogar

Não tem muita frescura, você só precisa estar atrás da mesa (do seu lado / lado do seu time) e tentar acertar o copo do adversário com a bolinha de ping pong.

Você pode lançar a bolinha do jeito que preferir: quicando ou pelo alto mesmo.

Se você errar, o outro que joga. No jogo em duplas, é só ir alternando quem vai jogar a bolinha.

Se você acertar, o adversário bebe o copo que você acertou e tira ele da mesa. Depois disso você pode jogar mais uma vez. No caso da disputa em duplas, você pode escolher quem da dupla oponente que você quer que beba.

Você ganha o jogo quando conseguir tirar todos os copos do outro time da mesa.

Lembrando: Se beber, não dirija.

Todo mundo brinca que quando começa a namorar, engorda. E não é que um estudo realizado por uma empresa britânica de refeições para dietas constatou que mais de 60% das pessoas costumam adquirir quilinhos extras ao engatar um romance?

Para descobrir qual seria o motivo dessa ganha de peso, os pesquisadores conversaram com diversos casais. Entre os entrevistados, 30% declararam que atividade mais comum com o companheiro é ficar em casa vendo TV, enquanto 20% afirmaram que sair para comer é a atividade preferida do casal.

As participantes do sexo feminino revelaram outro fato curioso: 52% delas contou que, ao fazerem uma refeição com o parceiro, ingerem a mesma quantidade de comida que ele, sendo que 56% admitiram que a porção é muito maior do que comeriam normalmente.

Often called the "Venice of the North", Stockholm lies on a number of islands and peninsulas at the outflow of Lake Mälar into the Baltic, which here forms a deep inlet. The charm of its setting lies in the intermingling of land and water - the skerries fringing the coast, the crags rearing up from the sea, the intricate pattern of waterways encompassing the city. The Swedish capital has no less then three distinct UNESCO World Heritage sites: Birka, Drottningholm, and the Woodland Cemetery. In addition, world-class museums, theaters, galleries, and the Nobel Institute await. Getting around couldn't be easier. The excellent underground railway system, theTunnelbana (T-bana), will take visitors almost anywhere in the city. A highly efficient and regular bus network fills in any gaps between destinations. Alternatively, take the time to walk instead as Stockholm is a terrific city to absorb on foot. Visitors will also notice the efficient network of bicycle lanes. Locals proudly call the city a levande stad, or living city, as a large part of the eclectic cosmopolitan population still live in the downtown areas.

Many of Sweden's top antique dealers lie around the Kommendörsgatan neighborhood. Be sure to drop by Östermalmshallen for the absolute best in Swedish fresh food and produce.

Editor's Tips

It may sound like a cliché but do what the locals do. Although Stockholm, like most of Scandinavia, can be expensive, good value can be found if you know where to look. One way of saving a few kronor is to eat a main meal during the day and opt for something lighter in the evening. The Dagens rätt or Dagens lunch (daily special) is a great way to experience authentic Swedish fare at a fraction of the cost you'd pay in the evenings. Look for chalkboards outside restaurants, and if the menu isn't in English, simply ask. Stockholmers love to speak English, it's their second language. Another thing Swedes love is coffee and cake, they've even come up with a verb for it - Fika. To 'fika' is to drink coffee, eat something small (and usually sweet), and have a chat. Be sure to indulge as the cakes and pastries are second to none. If snacking on the go, Gatukök literally translates as street-kitchen. It doesn't sound too glamorous but most serve excellent hot-dogs and hamburgers to take away. Some even do real mashed potato, so ask a local where to go. Finally, if you're planning on taking in a lot of attractions/museums theStockholm Card is well worth checking out and offers free entrance to most attractions and free public transport:
