Debate Drinking Game Ideas
Drink tonight every time:
| McCain | |
| - McCain says "my friends" | |
| - McCain says "straight talk" | |
| - McCain mentions "veterans" | |
| - McCain says "I'll veto any bill with pork barrel spending and make the authors famous" or quotes Reagan saying "I've never met a sailor drunk or sober with the imagination of Congress [for spending]" | |
| Romney | |
| - Mitt says "private sector" | |
| - Mitt says "change" (two drinks if he says "change" and "turnaround" in the same sentence) | |
| Paul | |
| - Ron Paul mentions the Federal Reserve / printing money / fiat currency / value of the dollar | |
| - Ron Paul mentions "the Constitution" | |
| Giuliani | |
| - Rudy says "The reality is..." | |
| - Rudy says "the terrorists war on us" | |
| - Rudy mentions 9/11 | |
| - Rudy says he's proposing "the biggest tax cut" of anyone running | |
| Huckabee | |
| - Huck mentions God / Christ / Faith / Bible | |
| Russert | |
| - Tim Russert confronts a candidate with a quote from the past. Two drinks if the text of the quote is shown graphically on screen. | |
| Anyone | |
| - Anyone mentions Ronald Reagan | |
| - Anyone says "tax cuts" or "cutting taxes" or "lowering taxes" | |
| - Two or more candidates try to yell over each other to pounce on something Ron Paul said about the war on terror and score cheap points by expressing outrage and ridiculing Paul. |
More?

Yeah, and I should add a warning: Do not play this game while watching the debate with a member of the opposite sex (or same sex for gays) whom you find utterly unattracive when you are sober.
McCain
You forgot the anecdote he uses...something about "I met a man who said as a former drunken sailor, he is outraged that he'd be compared to congress like that".

In case anyone cares (or anyone or anyone performing an autopsy on a player wants a shortcut)...
26 total drinks (and I'm sure I missed a few), not including many, many, many mentions of "tax cuts" since they had to say it in response to questions (albeit because they are all proposing tax cuts!)
Highlights:
- Highest slugging percentage: Ron Paul. Only had two drink-prompting items, but prompted 7 drinks (and two more if exact words are not required)
- Rudy came through with "The reality is..." 3 times.
- Huck's mention of faith was in response to a question, so I was inclined not to laugh at him and consider it drink-worthy...until he said "faith" 8 times (that's right, 8) in his brief answer.
Imagine how much fun it would be if the CANDIDATES on stage had to play this game throughout the debate! I'll bet that, after they all ended up with the hangovers of their lives, by the next debate (at which they'd have to play again) they'd actually start talking like real people instead of pandering talking-point machines.
I'll drink to that!
I think it's a fabulous idea.
It is the economy, stupid.
Had you played this game
Had you played this game watching the debates months ago you'd be passed out drunk puking. I'd love to see them all drinking to each others comments then let the debate really start, everyone knows a drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts. Come on CNN that'd make for some interesting air time. And whoever doesn't get drunk we know is the real drinker of the bunch and we can send them off to drug treatment
in some far away place.
