Debate Drinking Game Rules

Maybe we should do this for debate #3

zachklein:

Standard 2008 Election Rule
Take a shot every time McCain says “Friends” or Obama says “Change”.

Tonight’s Additional Special Rules
Drink whenever…

  • The candidate you oppose says something you agree with.
  • McCain announces he’s in fact proficient in HTML and C++
  • Obama shakes his head, and says, “Now wait just a minute…”
  • McCain refers to the USSR or any other non-existent formerly communist country.
  • The candidate not speaking smirks when their opponent makes a claim, and then looks down at their notes or write something.
  • Anyone says “700 Billion”
  • McCain looks old or Obama looks black.
  • McCain checks the BlackBerry he invented.
  • Either candidate suspends the debate.

Bonus Game
If anyone references McCain’s time as a POW, someone gets locked in the nearest closet. A new person takes the place of the current closet-POW each subsequent time the subject is broached. Whoever occupies the closet at the end of the debates has to—upon release—shotgun a beer without raising their arms above their shoulders.
