2011 State of the Union Drinking Game

It’s the end of January, and you know what that means. It’s time to get together with your friends, crack open some beers, and gather around the TV. It’s time to laugh and cry and shout obscenities. That’s right people, it’s the 2011 State of the Union address! We are, and we’ve come up with a drinking game to prove it.

NEEDED TO PLAY:

1 living room with a TV tuned to the State of the Union Address.
1 shot glass per person. Everybody brings own, scattering array on coffee table in front of TV.
Beer… lots
1 bottle of bourbon (for the die hards)

RULES OF THE GAME:

• Every time Barack Obama mentions bi-partisanship, everybody has to drink 2 shots of beer. If he talks about the lessons of Tucson, the last person to throw their arms in the air, fall to their knees and shout “Hallelujah!” has to drink 1 entire beer.
• Everybody has to drink 2 shots of beer whenever John Boehner appears to cry. 1 shot of bourbon if he breaks down sobbing and disappears entirely from view.
• Every time Barack Obama says “Democratic leadership,” the first person to stop laughing is exempt from drinking 2 shots of beer.
• If either Vice President Biden or the Speaker of the House Boehner is seen nodding off on camera, last person to start singing “Wake Up, Little Susie” has to drink 3 shots of beer.
• If the President says the State of the Union is good, but could be better, drink 1 shot of bourbon.
• Whenever the President defends ObamaCare, everybody drinks 2 shots of beer. If he mentions Congress voting to repeal it, drink a whole beer and throw an empty at the television. The first person to hit Nancy Pelosi in the head is exempt from having to drink 2 shots of bourbon.
• If the President relates a touching heartfelt story of a supporter who was denied a decent education, everyone sip!
• If the Chief Executive winks at or points at Michelle, everyone drink 2.
• If the president mentions the Chinese President by name, the last person to ask “Hu Dat?” has to drink 2 shots of beer.
