Beer Die

Beer die is a table-based drinking game. Opposing players sit at opposite ends and throw a die over a certain height with the goal of either landing the die in their opponent's cup or having the die hit the table and bounce over the scoring area to the floor. The defending team attempts to catch the die one-handed after it hits the table, but before it touches a non-table surface. The game typically consists of two two-player teams with each of the four players having a designated cup on the table.

There are three distinct attributes which define a beer die hurler: offensive, defense, and stamina. A good offensive player throws many legal throws, and often will put pressure on the defense by throwing near the opponents cups, and edge of the table. A good defensive player consistently catches routine throws, and often will snare "hot tosses." A player with good stamina is able to drink often and over a period of many games without his or her game diminishing.
