Presidential Drinking Debate – The Style Edition

3rd Presidential Debate – Monday 10/22/12 at 9pm ET

Full honesty, these political event drinking games are totally played out.  Doesn’t mean they can’t be fun.  Obligatory Disclaimer:  Not our fault if you get hammered and sick.  Your liver is your business, so drink responsibly.

The Rules:  Similar to other drinking games.  “1 Drink” means a decent sip/pull off a beer, not an entire beer, glass of wine, or shot.  “Candidate” refers to either Obama or Romney, meaning both men could instigate a separate drink.

• Candidate wears a tie the opposite color of his party (Obama in red, Romney in blue) 1 drink
• Candidate wears a tie that isn’t red or blue (ex: pink) 2 drinks
• Candidate wears peak instead of notch lapels – 2 drinks
• …shawl collar? – 2 Martinis. Shaken or Stirred.
  .
• Candidate has no definitive tie dimple – 1 drink
• Candidate fails to show consistent, noticeable shirt-cuff during debate – 1 drink
• Candidate’s shirt is something other than a plain white dress shirt – 2 drinks
• Candidate is wearing a pocket square – 2 drinks
• Candidate wears a 3-button suit instead of a 2-button – 3 drinks
• Candidate pulls out reading glasses – drain your glass
  
• Candidate skips black shoes and wears dark brown: 1 oz of good Bourbon
• … or wears cognac laceups: Pass the Courvoisie.
• Candidate neglects to wear a flag pin – Shake fist, crank Lee Greenwood, drink a Budweiser and ignore the fact that they’re now Belgian.  (And Miller is British.)
• Mention of the Made in China US Olympic Uniforms – Tsingtao!
  .
• Lock of Romney’s hair falls out of place and comes down over his forehead – 2 drinks.
• Obama checks his watch – He’s impatient, you’re impatient with a beer.  Shotgun it.
• Moderator Bob Schieffer layers with a V-neck – Hot Toddy time
• Schieffer channels Charles Osgood and wears a bow tie – Shot
• Audience member is wearing short sleeves – Sip of a Mojitto
• Audience member is wearing shorts – Drink an entire Bud Light Lime
  .
• Candidate adjusts necktie – 1 drink
• Candidate unbuttons suit jacket – 1 drink
• Candidate removes necktie, jacket, and rolls up sleeves – Finish your drink.  S#*t’s about to get real.
