Item #: SCP-2247

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2247 is to be kept in standard containment room and the door is to locked at all times when not testing. Permission from level-4 security level personal is needed before any research can be preformed on SCP-2247. A container holding 1 liter of draft beer is to be left in the center of SCP-2247 everyday when not testing.

Description: SCP-2247 is a 2.7 meter long, 1.3 meter wide, 1.3 meter tall sentient pool table with a light brown cloth covering, brown leather pockets, and a black walnut frame products by the ██████████ company. The words "The Drunken Pool Table" and "The drinking man's best friend." beneath it are written along the side of the table with a picture of a man with a drink in his hand leaning against the words.

SCP-2247's anomalous properties manifest when a subject attempts to play a game of pool on SCP-2247. Shooting a billiard ball on SCP-2247 will cause the balls curve or bounce in unusual and seemingly impossible manners, either causing the ball to miss or to make shots that should be impossible. SCP-2247 also absorbs any alcoholic beverage that it comes in contact with, either directly or indirectly. SCP-2247 has been known to absorb alcohol through glass, wood, ceramic, metal, and plastic containers.

SCP-2247 appears to have two states, "sober" and "inebriated". In it's "sober" state, SCP-2247 will actively sabotage every shot made on it 100% of the time, effective making it impossible to play on. In it's "inebriated" state, SCP-2247 will attempt to assist most shots made on it, the success of which is affected by how much alcohol that has been consumed by SCP-2247.

SCP-2247 was brought to the attention of the Foundation when complaints about a cheating pool table was being used at a local bar were reported to the sheriffs office at █████████, Illinois. When no explanation was given for the pool table's odd behavior, Foundation agents were sent to investigate. After attempting to play on SCP-2247 for several minutes, Agent ████████ accidently spilled a beer on the table. Agent ████████ attempted to clean the spill only to find that it seemed to disappear into the table. The Foundation purchased SCP-2247 for the bar owner and it was transported to Site 19.

Addendum-2247-1: Below is a list of test logs testing the different effects of alcohol on SCP-2247

Addendum-2247-2: All research staff are now required to use coasters when placing drinks on SCP-2247. Please see Test D

Test A - 5/13/12

Subject: SCP-2247
Procedure: Testing the effects of no alcohol with SCP-2247.
Results: After 30 minutes of not being able to make any shots, it was decided to set-up a shot that can't miss. One of the research staff took a shot at a ball sitting on the edge of a pocket. The ball proceeded to bounce around the inside of the pocket before being ejected from the table. The same shot was repeated 27 times, each time resulting in the ball bouncing out of the pocket or the queue ball scratching. The testing ended when the queue ball began striking researchers on the hand after every shot.

Test D - 6/16/12

Subject: SCP-2247
Procedure: Testing the effect of 100ml of 80 proof whiskey on SCP-2247.
Results: The curving and odd angles the balls travel becomes more pronounced. Dr. Bright left a glass on SCP-2247, which left a ring. Dr. Bright then proceeded to make an off-hand comment about "it's just a table". The next shot proceeded to fly off the table and struck Dr. Bright in the eye. Dr. Bright got behind the shooter before the next shot, which bounced off two bumpers, flew off the table and stuck Dr. Bright in the groin. Dr. Bright was helped to the infirmary and testing was concluded.
