The Presidential Debate Drinking Game


The drinking game for the Biden-Palin debate on October 2nd 2008 can be found here.

Originally posted at The Seminal.

Every time John McCain mentions his POW experience, praise his courage and drink a kamikaze. This one is only for the heavy drinkers.

Every time Obama says change everyone has to switch seats and drink the other person's drink of choice.

Every time John McCain tries to associate Barack Obama with an unsavory character, take a sip of your dirty martini.

Every time someone says bailout you have to finish your drink and pour another.

Every time John McCain says "my friends", spit out your drink and shout "I am not your friend" at the television.

Every time "evil", "evil doers", or anything with evil is mentioned, drink a sip of French red wine.

Every time John McCain threatens Iran, drink a savage car bomb or cherry bomb.

Every time Barack Obama ties John McCain to George W. Bush, drink a sloe gin fizz and wish for better days.

Every time John McCain displays how hopelessly out of touch he is, drink an old bastard.

Every time John McCain refers to the USSR or any other non-existent formerly communist country, get ready to ride the red tide.

When Georgia is mentioned, drink a fuzzy navel.

Every time John McCain mentions Sarah Palin, drink a white russian. After all, if Sarah Palin is around there must be a Russian nearby somewhere.

Every time John McCain smiles creepily, drink a roofie-colada.

If anyone mentions a golden parachute, pound some goldschlager.

Every time John McCain makes an appeal to states rights, lean back and take a sip of that sweet southern comfort.

When NATO membership is mentioned, clink glasses with everyone around you and attack anyone who refuses to clink.

If John McCain doesn't show up, lock yourself inside and sip Jack Daniels all night. It is going to be a long six weeks.

Regardless of what either candidate says, at the end of the debate, drink something that must be lit on fire first then hit yourself in the face with a shovel.

Previous Presidential debate drinking games can be found here and here.

Leave your own suggestions as comments, and have fun tonight!

Excellent work. I've added a wrestling feature, called The Final Presidential Debate Smackdown Game.

Enjoy! Gobama, no drama, 2008!

before hitting yourself in the face with a shovel, do a Statue of Liberty shot - Rupplemints on your finger of choice & light it on fire.

thank you so much for your tips; we were trying to establish the criteria for the debate drinking game but there are so many options we couldn't decide!

As soon as the debate is over, take some alka-seltzer and get ready for a 3 o'clock day tomorrow.

My recommendation is that you just pick a couple of those suggestions.

Here are my rules. One drink when...

* McCain says "my friends"
* McCain says "Warshington"
* McCain says "P.O.W."
* Obama says "um"
* Obama starts a sentence with "Look" (double if it's "uh-uh-uh, look.")
* Anyone says "the American people"
* Anyone says "folks"

That's funny! My husband said just last week that we should play a drinking game while watching the debate tonight with friends. After each time McCain says "My Friends," we will drink. It looks like there will be alot of drunken people at my home tonight.

Every time immigration or NAFTA is mentioned, do a shot of tequila.

If by chance lipstick or pigs are mentioned, sip a cosmopolitan so you won't screw up your makeup.
Every time the word ELITE or ELITETIST is mentioned, drink some champagne.
Every time the term universal healthcare is mentioned drink an Afterhours shot.
Every time the word bipartisan is used do a shot of Campari Bitter.

I'm sorry, but we are in the middle of a financial crisis, and the cost of booze is too high to waste such large quantaties. I would never get to finish a drink because John McCain never says ANYTHING without prefacing "My friends"...

-when john mccain claims to have saved the economy do as many shots as there are people in the room
-when he mentions being a POW and how he hates to talk about it, do five & a half shots in honor of each year that he was a pow
-each time that he says "country first" do a tequila shot
-each time that he questions obama's patriotism do a jager bomb
-when he says he'd rather lose an election than a war have a gin based drink.

Every time John McCain says "my friends", he is going to tell a lie.

Every time John McCain smiles creepily, cover the children's eyes because that look will give them nightmares.

I would add that those of us who feel nauseous from all of McCain's spinning should have a tall glass of Underberg. Nothing else that I know makes you throw up more efficiently.
