2008 Presidential Debate Drinking Game

[Shiver]

(First of all, apologies if this in posted in the wrong place.)

I did a few searches and found there were no postings of rules for this election's drinking game, here or on Google in general. And, I thought, even if there were, we should have our own anyway.

So, I propose, that since the first debate is a mere one week away, we come together and officially establish the rules. Submit your ideas, and in a few days we can whittle them down to something manageable that won't lead to blindness and rehab.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, rules regarding both our amazingly awesome, handsome, brilliant candidate Senator Barack Obama, and the old, decripit, idiot the Republicans nominated, Senator John McWhosits.

I'll start off;

----Take one drink whenever...

...McCain references being a POW


----Take two drinks whenever...

...Either candidate says something you know to be completely untrue


----Finish off the drink if...

...McCain gets visibly angry


----Finish off every drink you have and check into rehab if...

...John McCain concedes defeat right there at the podium. ('cause if this happens, you've had too much to drink and are hallucinating!)


That's what I got for now. Post your own additions. Rules for the VP debate are welcome as well.

for every "country first" or "my country" like statement by McCain.

3. Everyone trade their drink to the person on the left...

every time Barack writes something down during the debate.

5. Hmmm

Okay, official rule... The 2008 Presidential Debate Drinking Game must be played with two people or more. No one drinks alone.

4. One drink for some reference to "straight talk"

[FSogol]

6. one drink for every time McCain flaps his little flightless arms and gives

thumbs up to an imaginary person in the crowd

;-)

7. For the VP debate...

----Take one drink if...

...Sarah Palin lies about the Bridge to Nowhere

(Take a second drink if Joe Biden retorts with a clever quip about a "bridge" and/or "nowhere")

...Sarah Palin says one of the following words: Moose, Hockey, Caribou, or anything about her children.

...Joe Biden looks as if he's trying to keep himself from busting a gut.

11. One drink if Joe says "ladies and gentlemen"

[Shiver]

13. Two if Palin says "Guys and gals"

[Hippo_Tron]

15. Chug a beer if Biden says "Governor, you're no Hillary Clinton"

[Shiver]

17. Chug two if the remark is prompted by Palin

saying something about the Eighteen Million Crack in the Glass Ceiling.

[Rocknrule]

8. What's the rule for if McCain says "9/11"?

[Shiver]

12. Hmmm

Keep track of the number of times he says it, then at the end, drink that many drinks. If it equals any multiple of "9" or "11", chug.

Someone can probably come up with a better one than that...

[RagAss]

9. 2 shots when McNutbug says; "Life begins at conception"

[vanderBeth]

10. I think I would succumb to alcohol poisoning.

:beer: :beer: :beer:

[Shiver]

14. You can take tiny sips if you want.

:toast:

[lame54]

16. Take a drink every time Palin says a word nobody has ever heard before

[Shiver]

18. One drink

If McCain mentions 'pork'.

Take three drinks if he accidentally says 'porn' when trying to say 'pork'.

[depakid]

19. McCain says "my friends..."
