The State of the Union Drinking Game

JP Mac Just for fun, Politics , ,

SOTU Drinking GameThe State of the Union speeches can sometimes be tedious and predictable. There will be the long list of achievements that the President wants to highlight, coupled by an even longer laundry list of things he wants to Congress to act on. They’re full of soaring rhetoric, with each president making an obvious effort to get in that one, memorable line that will be quoted ad nauseam later that night and the next day. This year however, with President Trump, things promise to be a little more entertaining. When Trump speaks, you can never be quite sure what you’re going to get. Still, there will be the usual SOTU trope: The long introduction with the President working the reception line, the call outs by the President to guests in the chamber who he thinks personify a certain virtue, or a the need for a certain pet program. The camera will inevitably cut to shots of some general or admiral when the talk turns to defense, the Supreme Court when a decision of theirs is mentioned, or the relevant cabinet secretary, whenever the speech refers to something they’ve or their department have done or might do.

Whether boring or not, make the address even more interesting by playing the State of the Union Drinking Game:

The rules are simple: Every time during the address the President utters one of the designated words or phrases, or anytime one of a few select events happen, you take a drink of your favorite adult beverage.  You must of course, be of legal drinking age to play, unless your favorite adult beverage is non-alcoholic, in that case…you’ll probably make yourself sick either way!

Take a sip anytime any President Trump says one of the magic words or phrases:

  • Fake News
  • Obstruction, obstructionism
  • Unqualified
  • Leading from behind
  • America First

…Or each time any of the following happen:

  • Protester disruption

  • A member of the audience is recognized by the President.

  • The camera cuts to the Supreme Court Justices (take an extra sip if any of them are asleep)

  • The camera cuts to Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi for a reaction shot.

  • Chants of “USA! USA!” breaks out.

The 2016 Presidential Debates Drinking Game

2016-debatesThe 2016 presidential debates promise to be something extra special.  The debates will be a battle royal between two heavy weights (metaphorically speaking)  for the political championship of the world. If you’ve paid any attention at all to the race so far, you may have heard some of the favorite words and phrases from each of the candidates. You may be sick of hearing them, so here’s a fun way to reward yourself for having to hear them again, and again, and again….

The rules are simple, every time during the debate one of the candidates says one of the designated words or phrases, you take a drink of your favorite adult beverage.  You must of course, be of legal drinking age to play, unless your favorite adult beverage is non-alcoholic, in that case…you’ll probably make yourself sick either way!

Take a sip anytime any candidate says one of the magic words or phrases:

  • Disqualified
  • Tremendous
  • Unqualified
  • Leading from behind
  • Fair share
  • Reckless
  • What have you got to lose?
  • Historic election
  • For all the people
  • Fat cats
  • Unhinged
  • Failed Policies

Expert level:

  • Drink every time any candidate breaks out into a coughing fit.  (one drink per instance)
  • Drink at any remark that gets booed. (counts for moderator remarks too)
  • Drink every time the moderator “fact checks” a statement by one of the candidates.

Think you can last all the way through?  You might want to have a good supply of chips and pretzels on hand. Enjoy!

Disclaimer:  No-one except you is responsible for any foolish thing you might do after playing this game, like: driving, drunk-texting your boss, or voting third-party. So there!

The Democratic Debate Drinking Game

JP Mac Election 2016, Just for fun, Politics , ,

Democratic DebateIt’s now the Democrats’ turn to do the debate thing.  The only real debate will be how far to the left should the Democratic nominee be.  The candidates will be tripping over each other show how much taxpayer money they want to redistribute.  Don’t expect to see a whole lot of difference between the candidates. The debate will most likely be a contest to see who has the biggest government programs.  Listening to the folks on stage drone on about “unfair this” and “unjust that” might become a little boring after a while.  Alcohol, as we know, can make just about any event more interesting, or at least easier to tolerate.  That’s where the Democratic Debate Drinking Game comes in.

The rules are simple, every time during the debate one of the candidates says one of the designated words or phrases, you take a drink of your favorite adult beverage.  You must of course, be of legal drinking age to play, unless your favorite adult beverage is non-alcoholic, in that case…you’ll probably make yourself sick either way!

Again, there may not be a lot of variation between the candidates, so take a sip anytime any candidate says one of the magic words or phrases:

  • Fair Share If the candidates use it as many times as President Obama does during a typical speech, you could get blasted just on this one!
  • Spread the Wealth Another Obama favorite.
  • Fat Cats Take an extra sip if used in conjunction with either  “Wallstreet” or “corporate”.
  • Failed Policy or Failed Policies of the Past Take and extra sip it the reference is directed against a Democrat.
  • Use the word “investment” when they really mean “spending”.
  • Refer to the war in Iraq as “optional”.
  • Assert something to be a right that isn’t, i.e.: healthcare, a career…
  • Use the words: “witch hunt” when talking about a certain Congressional investigation.

Think you can last all the way through?  You might want to have a good supply of chips and pretzels on hand. Enjoy!
