State of the Union: The Drinking Game

In celebration of the last State of the Union Address in Dubya's presidency, political junkies and hardcore drinkers alike are gathering at www.theyoungturks.com for some good old fashion drinking game fun.

Fellow Political Machiner and host of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur is already suggesting a sip every time Bushy utters the word empower. You can chortle into that beer with each empower, as far as I'm concerned.

At the moment, participants of a live chat on The Turks' Web page cite their drinks of choice in the following order:

Nothing 52 percent; Beer 18 percent; Wine 17 percent; Everything 7 percent; and Tequila 3 percent.

C'mon! Nothing? Get into the spirit. Pun totally intended.

What am I drinking during the speech? Unfortunately, coffee in preparation for an all-nighter. Sigh.

I'm saving my political drinking game antics for the big dance, as I have done the past two presidential elections. I'm sure that will be an interesting blog post.

Cheers.
