Election Night Drinking Game Rules
 

I am trying to come up with some good, unique rules for a drinking game for Super Tuesday. So far I have:

Drink every time……:

-News channel has on an unqualified pundit speak

-News channel calls a state

-A state goes the opposite way you chose/thought

-A battleground/toss-up state is called

-When a camera pans to show a live shot of either of the candidates

-A previous election is mentioned

-Any mention of ‘name’ the ‘profession’ i.e. Joe the Plumber or Suzie the Baker

-Any mention of voter fraud or suppresion

-Drink double in celebration if your preferred candidate takes your state

-Drink double in desperation if your preferred candidate does not take your state

I am thinking that Obama and McCain won't be on TV live too often so that is why I haven't added drinking for things they say. Any other ideas?

You trying to kill people? :oogle:

If I followed your drinking rules, I'd be on the floor within 15 minutes.
Florida news channels are bizarre.

Every time they go to the interactive map and zoom down into specific districts and compare it to '00 and '04 you have to finish your drink.

Yeah, that first one is enough alone.

Thank God NBC isn't having Chris The Screamer anchor coverage this year, I'd need a vat.

You should add every car that gets burned in celebration or rage at the end of the night you should do a shooter of hard stuff then venture into those areas, to show your outrage/joy.

-Drink every time you suspect they are using filler and masking it as coverage.

HAHA just what I was thinking. Although some people may think that's a better answer if there guy doesn't win.

... inevitable alcohol poisoning?

Drink everytime someone says "...it's still too close to call"

Drink everytime someone says "It's going to be a long night."

Drink everytime someone gets interrupted with BREAKING NEWS!

Drink everytime breaking news is inconclusive.

Drink a little poison every time McCain wins a state..so if he wins the election you'll already be dead and won't have to live through 4 years of his presidency.

Drink for four years if McCain and Palin win. You'll need it!

That reminds me -- where are we meeting for the DC version of the TFP riot? I don't want to be left out :P

If I was still there I'd join in with you but sadly I am not

ok, so
some of the more conservatives in my area are refusing to leave their house after voting tomorrow..they seriously think there will be riots and 'those people will tear the city up' if obama wins..or loses...

ahh, this should be fun.

as for drinking rules: the unqualified pundits one will KILL people. Seriously, who else are they gonna get up there.

"Maverick!"
;)
*drinks to celebrate Palin's loss*

I'm playing the one rule drinking game:

Rule #1) If McCain win's finish the bottle of everclear...

Mine goes more along the lines of:

Rule #1) If McCain win's finish the bottle of Methanol...

I know these rules sound like I plan to kill myself and my friends with alcohol. I figure we won't be following all the rules the whole night which is why I wanted unique rules!

The unqualified pundit rule was for when the networks bring on random people from the street and give them bizzare titles like 'political strategerist to the president's cat'

Fresnelly, your rules have been added to our list. Thanks :)

If Obama wins I plan on drinking myself stupid, turn into an alcoholic, lose my job so I can collect forever unemployment, free health care, free college for my kids have my mortgage paid for me. Kind of like 30% of the Obama constituents.

...sigh

Ba-dum *tss*...

hey it's all good, if McCain wins, you can still have your mortgage paid off, send your kids off to pointless wars, keep borrowing money from other countries,then send that money to countries who don't need it and bow down to them when they come to collect their debts, and best of all, you can't undo an unwanted pregnancy..

yee-haw!

FTW

gucci, i'm glad we can agree with this election...

are all liberals really drunks and "ooo, give me give me"
really? bc i didn't get that memo when i paid for school, worked my ass off at the time, started my own trading business and basically did it w/out gov't intervention...

and i'm pretty sure i know quite a few conservatives on welfare...

but really..is this what we've become..just empty generalizations.

paq,

yes it is odd that we are finally in agreement on something :)

no, honestly, we aren't a bunch of empty generalizations, but reconmike seems to think that liberals are stupid, black, and a bunch of deadbeats who don't work. Perhaps he should look into his own party before he starts trying to fix another party.

I work everyday to make sure my kids can have what they need and to make them better people. I work so that I can pay my taxes..which if they are raised.. you know what? I'm all for that instead of borrowing money from all these other countries.

I'm a liberal.. but not a democrat.. I'm not joe the plumber.. and I pay my taxes and work and do what is best for me and mine.

sadly, some people just don't get it.. oh wait..that's a McCain line.. sorry :rolleyes:

i know people on both sides who are deadbeats and others who are hardworking/whatever....

it's just annoying after a while...plus, this is basically a return to clinton year taxes, i don't get it..

I dunno either..

I mean.. a balanced budget.. OH NOES!!!11!!!!!1

Wait a minute, we were talking about taxes, not a balanced budget...they don't have anything to do with one another, don't change the subject!

hehehe I was just trying to be the stereotypical liberal who associates everything with something different :p

anyway, back to drinking..

I'll be drinking either way.. so it doesn't really matter what happens... I guess the only question will be how much will I drink?

Just added one to my list; everytime they say this is "an historic election", drink.

If they say this is "A historic election", finish your drink.

Another new one. Everytime CNN refers to the chick hologram reporter as princess leia, drink two shots.

What about "histrionic election"? :D

The phrase "It's still early..." would surely lead to alcohol poisoning.

Mppf... err.. I..uhhhh... http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0015.gif

....thump.

my head hitting the floor bc i put "It's still too close to call' on my list...i am typing at 3 wpm rihgt now to amdsak sure i get it rightnt

"make". In case anyone is wondering. :expressionless:

That's pretty fucking funny, the yee haw part especially, considering I was raised in Jersey City and The Iron Bound section. My son-in-law has already fought, my son is eyeing up one of the academies, my family knows the meaning of country, honor, duty.

I hope that if Obama has to send troops, all the people that put him in office will run to enlist, but I highly doubt that will happen seeing that most of his supporters are anti-war. let someone else do the fighting for them.

My hubby is an Iraq war vet and is currently working on rejoining the military. My brother in law is active duty Air Force and has served in Iraq. My father served in the Coast Guard and my uncle served 2 tours in Vietnam. We know the meaning of country, honor, and duty. We are Obama supporters. Stereotypes are so AWESOME!!!!

One of my friends at my party tonight is an Iraq war vet and an Obama supporter.

Your point? Perhaps you missed where I said MOST, get it now MOST liberals, not all liberals, and I bet I had more time served than all yours combined, big friggen deal.
