Playing a Drinking Game with Politics Wednesday...

[NikkyVix]

Heads-up disclaimer: I by no means encourage habitual excessive alcohol libation, nor do I officially condone under-age drinking. It can be risky and unpleasant if the wrong mixes or amounts are taken by those who exceed their tolerance. ...However, some things just seem so much funner when you are drunk. :p

That said.. Hey boyos, I have been contemplating hopping on the TFP Steam chat and playing a drinking game with the final Presidential Debate, this Wednesday night, October 15th. I needed topics to single out for rules on what to drink to, and just threw these out in a flurry of random inspiration. As far as what to drink...hmm... considering buying either some Jack'n Coke or my current darling, Jägermeister; I won't trust the Soju I still have..that shit tastes like melted cigarettes in rubbing alcohol.

EDIT: Those who're underage: Swap alcohol with Dr. Pepper or your drink of choice! Yay for tooth-rot!

So...One drink for:
Whenever McCain says 'Maverick'.
Whenever either candidate makes a reference to George Bush and/or the Bush Administration
Whenever Obama makes a reference to McCain's statement that the fundamentals of the economy are strong.
Whenever Obama makes a plea that change is needed
Whenever McCain makes a plea that change is needed
Whenever either candidate makes a statement about what they will do in the White House, using the statement 'When I'm President'.
Whenever McCain claims that D.C. and/or the guv'mint is corrupt
Whenever either candidate claims that Wall Street is screwed up
Whenever either candidate says our economy will rise from its problems
Whenever Obama says McCain voted along with Bush X-percent of the time
Whenever McCain claims that Obama will raise your taxes

Two drinks for:
Whenever McCain makes an allusion to Obama's connection to Ayers
Whenever McCain claims he loves the veterans
Whenever Obama claims that McCain just doesn't get it or is 'erratic', out of touch, etcetra.
Whenever Obama makes a reference to his humble urban youth (in any fashion)
Whenever McCain makes a reference to his service for the country (in any fashion)
Whenever McCain says 'Middle Class'
Whenever Obama makes any reference to Sarah Palin.
Whenever both candidates avoid answering the same question.

Take three drinks if:
Either candidate makes a discernible gaffe
45 minutes pass without any gaffes.

Drain your glass if:
Obama makes a passing joke involving his wife
McCain makes a passing joke involving his age
You actually snicker at any other joke (a danger for us giggly drunks)
McCain manages not to look at Obama once during the entire debate (side-glances don't count)

KAMIKAZE BONUS
These are optional. Take a drink every time:
McCain says 'My Friends'
Obama says 'uhh'
McCain makes a hand gesture to express urgency
Obama is seen onscreen as either smiling or looking attentive


This is obviously quite a big list. So there's lots to work from. :9

[Witchiebunny]

Good LORD Nikky, you really are trying to test my "never been hungover" claim, aren't you??

[Doom]

Due to age, I'm going to follow this up with Dr.Pepper instead; with slight changes to the amount.

One drink = Small sip
Two drinks = Normal slurp
Take three drinks = Huge swing
Drain your glass = Entire Dr.Pepper

Yay to kidney stones by 20. :v
