Some folks care. They are two different games. Beirut gets the advantage as the games are much quicker and it can accommodate more people. It is however less hygienic as most of the time people are sharing the same unwashed cups. Beer Pong on the other hand has the limitation of being played with only 2 or 4 at a time and it is a slower game.
