From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Forget beer pong, or the wide-necked prosecco alternative because there is now a new sophisticated take on the classic party game.
Enter, Gin Pong.
Launched by online retailer Getting Personal, it’s the game gin lovers have been waiting for by combining the drink of the moment with everyone’s favourite student pastime.
This new version comes with 12 plastic gin tumblers made in a cool shade of green that perfectly matches with a bottle of Tanqueray, Gordons or even Aldi’s Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin – a tipple which was recently declared one of the best in the world.
And, while they might be made of plastic, they come finished with a super-classy golden rim.
The tumblers are also much smaller than the red ones associated with beer pong – presumably because gin is a lot stronger – which also makes it a little more challenging.
For those initiated, the aim of the game is to throw one of the four balls into your opponents glass and drink every time one of the players shoots and scores. Let the games be-gin.
Available online only, right now it’s unfortunately sold out but it has been reported that Getting Personal will be re-stocking Gin Pong on October 12.
Even better, the game only costs £13.99 and with our love of mother’s ruin showing no signs of abating, promises to make any party gin-credible. Buy yours here.
