SOTU Drinking Game

Posted on January 19, 2004 Written by Diane

Man, I am so glad I don’t drink: The State of the Union Drinking Game.

My personal favorite is what to do if the Res says, “Don’t mess with Texas!”

Update: Damn. South Knox Bubba rules. He’s gone one better than the Drinking Game and really put his money where Bush’s mouth is.

Damn. Bubba’s going to listen to the speech and check the transcript? That is dedication. I think I have to soak in a lavender bath Tuesday night. But I think I’m in with Bubba…now I just gotta pick a charity…

And yet more update: Adam Felber’s totally hilarious SOTU drinking game. My favorite bit:

At any point during the War portion of the speech, any player may assume the role of Rogue Nation – exclaiming “Yikes!” and then ducking and cowering. Everyone else must follow suit immediately. The last player to do so becomes the Next Pre-empted Nation, who is then obliged to take a drink.

No matter how dangerously drunk the Pre-empted Nation becomes, nobody is permitted to suggest that they be given a break. Anyone who does so immediately becomes “France,” and is obliged to finish their own drink while being ridiculed by the other players.

Update, Tuesday: I’ve decided on my charity. It’s CoffeeKids, a charity devoted to making the lives of coffee growers better.

Update, Thursday: And CoffeeKids has my money.
