Presidential Debate Drinking Games!

I'm sure all of you monkeys are very excited about the upcoming presidential debate on Wednesday night! What could be more exciting than having two people excessively pander to people who aren't you? Oh, wait, that sounds awful, but, civic duty and all that nonsense. Sorry pal, looks you're watching or clearly, you're a terrorist. Now, the question arises, how the hell do you make something so intrinsically awful, tolerable? Well my friend, I have the answer, and it's a wonderful and glorious answer at that:

Drinking. Lots and lots of drinking.

Now, you may be asking yourself, "So, I just get hammerdrunk before the debates start?" Yes, that is absolutely an option, a good option too, but not the best one. The best option is to get drunk WHILE watching the debates. This way, both of the candidates will become more and more tolerable throughout the debate, which will create the illusion that everything could get better! Also (if you're doing it right), Jim Lehrer will slowly morph into Kate Upton (or George Clooney, I don't know what you're into). As you can see, a seemingly horrible evening will magically turn into absolute viewing pleasure.

Sadly, you may find yourself in something of a quandary. There are so many awesome drinking games out there, but you can only pick one for the evening! It's like your own Sophie's choice but with fewer Nazis. But worry not, I'm here to help with two options that don't appear to suck:

Option 1 - http://www.policymic.com/articles/15661/president…

Option 2 - http://www.debatedrinking.com/

Personally, I'll be setting up an auction where all of the players bid on words that they then "own" during the debate. If a word you "own" is spoken, you get to give out 5 drinks to whomever you like! New, interesting, very presidential, and totally not a rip-off of a fantasy football auction league. Also, very prestigious somehow.

What drinking games will you monkeys be playing during the debates?

I liked the pic tho.

it was a bit too distracting. i didn't read a word of the thread, and i only read this post because the picture was no longer on my screen when i scrolled down.....

Everyone else will drink themselves into a coma

I'll be pushing for "President". It's shocking how often that comes up.

But, this time, I'm not sure, "Jobs" or "Fair" may come up more often....

The debate is simply going to be Obama talking about fairness and being fair and doing fair things. Oh and 4 more years to get done what he promised in the first 4 years.

 
TNAGreat article talking about how bad "it's not fair" is. Interesting how the author learned this from his 3 year old child. Seems the President would make a nice subject for this article.

FAAAAIIIRRRRRRRRR

I don't understand your problem with justice. Life isn't fair, why make it worse? Realistically, if the law is protecting an unfair/unjust system, why the fucking hell would I follow the rules?

Oh wait, I don't. LOL

Get busy living
