Beersaw


A drinking game first created by the residents of the Homestead at Denison University (Granville, OH) in 2007. This game involves two teams of two players standing on parallel balancing boards (or 'see-saws') with a large plastic paint bucket placed at the center of each board. The game is played by teammates trying to balance on their board to avoid touching the ground, while at the same time drinking a can, cup, or bottle of beer. Once a team member has emptied their beer container, they can attempt to score a point by shooting the empty container into the paint bucket on the otherteam's side. The game has no time limit, and ends only under one of two conditions: (1) A team wins by successfully shoots 3 empty beer containers into the other team's paint bucket, or (2) A team loses by touching either end of their balance board to the ground 7 times.

Though started at Denison, beersaw has also been played by students at Purdue University.
