The Election Returns Drinking Game!
This is an incomplete framework based on input I got from students of mine. Not all of the ideas are original, and I welcome your contributions
Central Rules:
When a state is declared for your Presidential candidate: Drink!
When a state flips from its result in 2004: Everyone drinks! Pursuant to the previous rule, when a state flips to your candidate, you drink twice! (Sorry, McCain voters...)
If you're looking for volume, extend these rules to House and Senate returns, gubernatorial returns, town council and dog-catcher returns, and anything else that'll get you drunk. If that's what you want, I suggest you try Samuel Jackson beer. It'll get you drunk!
Other Suggested Rules:
Make a list of election coverage catchphrases and have everyone pick one at the start of your election returns party.
Whenever a pundit says your phrase: Drink!
Whenever a pundit of a political persuasion to yours says your phrase: Drink twice! (Try CNN for this. They'll have 85 million people doing their election coverage.)
I guess you could have everyone pick a commentator.
When you see your commentator on the television: Drink!
Know when to say when, people. Keep those ideas coming!
