by Brad WarbianyWe’ve already seen one debate between McCain and Obama. And frankly, although I was drinking beer at the time, I was far too even-keeled to be able to take this nonsense. We’ve got two more of these, and we need something to make it a bit more interesting.
So I propose a Presidential Debate Drinking Game!
Terms of the open thread are as such: post any rule that you think is necessary for the game. I’ll start:
Take a drink for any time McCain refers to Ronald Reagan.
Who’s next?
Adding a rule requiring a drink at any Obama mention of “hope” or “change” (or any reasonable derivative) is tantamout to attempted murder, so I’ll propose the following:
2) Take a drink for every American flag in the background on stage.

Comment by Ben — September 29, 2008 @ 7:31 pmI just came up with the perfect drinking game. Most drinking games will leave you dead in a gutter. This one is perfectly self-limiting.
I take a shot whenever they make me want to take a shot. :-) After about 10 minutes I’m numb enough that I’m laughing at the tv instead of throwing my remote. Then I can put the bottle down until I sober up enough to get pissed off again.
