Beer Pong Calculator
Calculate how many cups, balls, and beer cans you need for beer pong, and estimate how much beer each player will drink.
Formula
Total cups = games × cups per side × 2; Beer = total oz ÷ 12 per can
- Standard beer pong: 10 cups in triangle, 2 oz beer per cup.
- Re-rack: cups are re-racked mid-game; actual cup count stays the same.
- Buy extra cups and balls to account for losses.
2 teams, 3 games, 10 cups per side
Inputs

3 games × 10 cups × 2 sides = 60 cups. 60×2oz = 120 oz = 10 cans of beer.
