The state of our union may be strong, but your motor skills may get pretty weak if you follow along with our drinking game. Yes, it’s a Tuesday night, but we’re the most politically active campus. Time to ring in the State of the Union in a big way.
It’ll be panned by conservatives and heralded by liberals anyway, so you can pass out before the post-speech analysis.
Take a drink:
Every time the President says “Let me be clear”
Every time the President says “action”
Every time the President says “gridlock”
Whenever the President mentions a policy goal that the “West Wing” Bartlett White House already accomplished (gun control bill, banking reform, education reform)
Every time cameras show Paul Ryan, John McCain or Chuck Schumer
Every time the cameras show a congressman or congresswoman that your friend works for
Every time the cameras show a congressman or congresswoman you think is attractive
Whenever Joe Biden stands and claps, but John Boehner sits
Every time Obama does that thing with his thumb/fist
Take a shot:
Any time the President attempts to make a joke
Any time the President defends Healthcare.gov
Whenever Joe Biden chuckles
Whenever Obama mentions the strength of the economy
