Loser of race must do a shot of named liquor.

This sucks because the winning player is presumably better, and the distribution of alcohol according to finish will just widen the gap in skill.

The WINNER should have to drink. The playing field eventually evens out (see my prev post).

This is pretty counter-intuitive. In most/all other drinking games, the loser of whatever always drinks.

Yes, but the fact that losing a couple times could doom the lesser player to being the only one drinking would make this game much less fun.

True, I definitely understand that argument. But even in beer pong, the better the other side plays, the more you drink, thus hurting your aim. So why not make the person who actually gets the ball in the cup drink it? Certainly then this would compensate for his better aim and even out the playing field. It's the same logic...but really, that's just not how it goes.

The great thing about beirut / beer pong is that while the losing team drinks more, the game is played winner goes on. That means that the winning team will still be drinking more than anyone else because they will be playing longer, until their abilities are too hindered to keep going.

This should be encorperated into Mario Kart somehow.
