I don’t really get too fired up about politics.  In fact, politics tends to piss me off so I’ve found that ignoring them is best for me.

However, since there’s less than a month to go before the election (as I’m typing this) I’m finding myself at least paying a little attention.

However, this just makes me more pissed off.

Today, however, I’ve come up with the solution to my problem (and really, the solution and cause of all of life’s problems)… ALCOHOL.

So here is my twist on how you should play a presidential debate drinking game… special thanks to John Carlton for helping inspire this.

The Rules:

Pick your horse (trust me, you don’t want to ride the fence as you’ll see in a moment)

This is a game played with shots… of whiskey (Wild Turkey recommended)

This is really a simple game best played with fans of both candidates.

Here’s all you do… whenever you think the other candidate is lying, take a shot.  For example, if you’re a fan of McCain, then whenever you think Obama just lied, you take a shot.

That’s it!

Note:  If you haven’t decided who you’re voting for yet, then you have to take a shot when you think either of them are lying.  So if you like to drink, indecision is a good thing.

Now, for those who want some other games with more drinking opportunities, here are some rather detailed ones (personally, I think they have way too many rules… remember during drinking games you tend to get drunk)
