<p>This could be a duplicate warning, but there are 21 cases of h1n1 directly linked to beer pong at RPI, 7 are apparently quite ill. I’d mention it to your kids. Our state flagship U sent out a warning to faculty and students.</p>

<p>Interesting. Do you have an article about it? I’d love to read more. </p>

<p>I shudder to think how bad the outbreak would be if “quarters” was still a popular drinking game.</p>

<p>Here is one link. The notice we got implied 21 cases were linked to beer pong. This says cases definitely were linked but maybe not all 21.</p>
