Game Over: Beer Pong Spreading Swine Flu
Frat boys have been called pigs before, but now they might be responsible for spreading swine flu. College partiers are being warned that they can catch H1N1 from beer pong.
Administrators from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute released this statement after a student contracted swine flu from the classic drinking game:
