My suggestion for drinking games for the RNC convention

1) spotting any non-white delegate, 3 drinks per separate individual
2) 1 sip per religious reference (eg 'christians, God, america is a christian nation)
3) six ounces per Romney lie (may want to adjust)
4) 6 oz per birth certificate reference.
5) one oz per Reagan reference
6) two oz per veiled racial reference.

Have fun with this.

from the moment they start, so it will only take a few minutes to be seriously drunk.

of course, I think if one is actually going to try to watch this crap, one should probably be well-fortified with strong drink before beginning.

When a larger-than-life image of Reagan is projected on a big screen, everyone light up a "hooter."

BAC of 0.50 or above is lethal in humans; you'd get there pretty quick playing the game you described.

We are going to have a hard enough time reelecting the president and giving him enough Representatives and Senators to do his job; drinking ourselves to death during Nazi-con 2012 ain't gonna help.

If I did what you suggest I'd be dead after about an hour I should think.

Although, a local station airs "The Big Bang Theory" reruns at 10:00. Maybe I will stay up until 10:30.

I'm waiting to see if there will be any "indiscretions" discovered during the convention. I can't imagine that during free time, that there wouldn't be a few visits to the famous Tampa strip clubs or perhaps some inappropriate conduct after a few cocktails.
