I'm 24, sit in the middle of the political spectrum, and well, like beer! If you're treating tonight like the Super Bowl add a little extra action to your viewing experience. Below are a couple drinking games you could play! Enjoy, and drink responsibility.

The Rules:

Tune into your network of choice and break out your laptop. Use some, use all, or add your own.

Take one sip when:

  • You hear any of the following words:  ground game, firewall, Sandy, photo ID,  recount, youth vote, Obamacare, battle-ground, interest group.
  • A state is declared red or blue.
  • Any of the third party candidates are mentioned (Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Virgil Goode, Rocky Anderson)
  • Any of the swing states are mentioned by name (Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin).
  • A past president is mentioned.

Take two sips when:

  • You hear any of the following words: voter suppression, Romnesia, elderly, Latino, five-point plan, liberal bias, Benghazi, marriage.
  • A hologram appears.
  • Paul Ryan’s workout photoshoot is shown.
  • Someone criticizes Obama’s performance in the first debate.
  • Someone brings up Romney’s “47 percent” comments.
  • A candidate’s Twitter account posts a picture of the candidate and/or his team watching the votes come in.
  • Photos of Hurricane Sandy aftermath are shown.
  • Anderson Cooper delivers a zinger.
  • A person on your Facebook newsfeed threatens to leave the country.

Finish your drink when:

  • You hear any of the following words: FEMA, Osama bin Laden, binders.
  • The LSU/Alabama game is mentioned.
  • Your candidate of choice wins a swing state.

Or try this game!


Start by picking a winner for each state using the color-coordinated charts below.

Then simply sit back, relax and wait for the results to pour in as freely as the booze.

As each state is announced, use the matrix to calculate your points — and start pounding ’em back.

1 point = Make someone drink
10 points = Make someone take a shot
20 points = Shotgun a beer

You may accumulate points if you wish, and deal them out as you wish and when you wish — but if you go below zero, you gotta drink until you’re back in the positive!
