State of the Union Drinking Game

Post by Durandal »

Okay folks, everyone's favorite time of year is upon us: When President Fuck-Stick makes his annual "State of the Union" address. So let's at least have some fun this time around when the Tool-in-Chief blusters on about how he's going to ruin the country.

So let's get a drinking game going. Your suggestions are welcome. Here's what I'm starting with.
  • Take 1 drink for every minute, from the start of his address, that the president doesn't mention 9/11.
  • For every subsequent mention of 9/11, take 1 sip.
  • Every time the president mispronounces "nuclear" as "new-kew-lar", take 1 sip.
  • For every standing ovation, take one drink. Take 2 drinks if a Democrat other than Joe Lieberman joins in.
  • For every mention of "God", "the Almighty" or equivalent, take 1 sip.
  • For every quoting of the Bible, take 1 drink.
  • Every time the president claims we are "making great strides" in Iraq, take 1 sip.
This is by no means a complete list.

Isn't "we're making good progress" his stock standard bullshit claim about Iraq?

Yes but this is the State of the Union! "Good" has to become "great" and "progress" has to become "strides". That way it's better.

One I used last year:

-Every time Bush mentions "Terror", or some variation of it (i.e. Terrorist, Terrorism), take a sip

I must have gone through three beers on that one alone.

  • Every time he mentions "we have to stay the course", or a variant thereof, take a sip.
  • If he mentions Afghanistan, take a drink.
  • If the words "family values" appear, take a sip.
  • If the words "American values" appear, take a sip.
  • If he mentions Abramoff, take a drink.
  • If he indulges in veiled partisan sniping, take a sip.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Seriously, I've been out of university for a while now and I can't drink like that anymore.

Let's see...

Take a drink if he mentions Bin Laden
Take a drink if he mentions Saddam Hussein
If he references Iran in some way, take a sip
Take a drink when he says "protect our great nation of America" or something to that effect

Apparently the focus of the speech will be on energy independence. :roll:

So I'm guessing "nuclear power", "ANWR", and "new dynamic sources of coal" should be the new buzz words.

Sorry folks, I tried this once before and woke with an awful hangover. While it didn't exactly convince me to give up alcohol, I decided I was never going to get drunk again. As for the shenanigans go, I think due to the amount of consumption involved, I shall go with plain, pure water instead.

And probably be up all night pissing every half an hour, a la post urinalysis (those of you in the military know what I'm talking about).

I tried to do a drinking game to Bush's State of the Union last year to just the word freedom. I don't like doing straight up shots much, so I made a tall glass of long island iced tea and took a shot sized sip. That proved to be a very bad thing. Just 40 minutes into it, I was stumbly all over the place and having trouble just sitting up. The total count for 'freedom' come into the twenties. In a time frame of 40 minutes, I had consumed two and a half glasses of long island. Just to remind you again what is in a long island:

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

Other rules that should go in:


- Take a sip everytime Bush has to stop and repeat a phrase he just spoke incorrectly
- Take a drink everytime he mentions the work VP Cheney is doing
- Take a sip everytime he mentions "groundbreaking new legislation"
- Take a drink everytime he talks about an up or down vote

- Finish the bottle if he mentions any of the following: Michael Brown, Doug Chertoff, Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, or Harriet Miers.

If he admits to making an error, chug the bottle :P.

Take a drink if he mentions Alito

This game would be too dangerous, as it really would require you to hook yourself up with a whiskey IV-drip to be played properly.

Take a shot at the mention of "activist judges", "freedom" but only when followed by "haters", self deprecating humor, every 55-45 Standing ovation, and the word "abroad"

If you intend to follow the above, shoot yourself in the head and save the ER the trouble.
