Need a drink? Tonight is DC's Super Bowl

I live in a city that is obsessed with politics - OBSESSED!  Honestly, I'm not a politico myself.  I avoid conversations about politics - not because I'm uninformed or don't care... but because I don't like confrontation, and in DC politics are so polarized that arguments are everywhere. 

BUT... people everywhere view tonight's election results as the best event in years (well, in four years exactly)  So for those people (and I know you are out there), here is a collection of ways you can celebrate tonight (and get totally drunk in the process).... and here you go, a collection of 2012 Election Drinking Games.

Drinking Game
Whether you get your results from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, C-SPAN or one of the broadcast networks, take a drink* every time someone on screen says anything on the following list:

• Ground Game
• Firewall
• Sandy
• Photo ID
• Recount
• Youth Vote
• Enthusiasm
• The Name of a Third Party Candidate (Gary Johnson, Jill Stein,Virgil Goode, Rocky Anderson)
• Ohio
• Reagan

Stock up on your favorite beverages, follow us on Twitter and check back here on Tuesday to drink along with us! We will be drinking to a different network each hour (based on your votes below) and keeping score on our exclusive, real-time, drink-totaling scoreboard.
Drinking starts Tuesday, November 6, at 7:00pm Eastern
*Because this may be a high scoring game, we define a drink as a gulp of beer or sip of wine or liquor. Know your limits and please drink responsibly.

The George Washington Hatchet
Over the past several months, the two presidential candidates have carefully crafted their messages to reach the “average American.” So why not spend Election Night doing what the average American does on a Tuesday? Sit on the couch, watch TV and drink. Grab your favorite adult beverage, turn on your favorite cable news channel and enjoy the Bar Bro’s 2012 Election Night Drinking Game.

• Drink if someone manipulates a giant touch-screen map.
• Drink if you see a hologram. Drink again if someone is talking to it.
• Drink for any sighting of a panel of undecided voters.
• Any time there is a split screen, drink for as many seconds as there are pundits onscreen.
• Drink when the anchor awkwardly stalls for time. I’m looking at you, Wolf Blitzer.
• Drink any time an election in your home state comes up on the crawl.
• Drink any time an election is “still too close to call.”
• Drink for any election result where a candidate gets more than 70 percent of the vote.
• Drink any time “exit polls are showing” something.
• Drink when an anchor or pundit is visibly bummed out about election results.
• Take your friend’s drink if he or she is visibly bummed out about election results.
• Finish your drink when results are official in your home state.
• Finish your drink when one of the presidential candidates wins Ohio. It’s the only state that really counts.
• Finish your drink if someone you voted for wins.
• Finish your drink and take a shot if your candidate loses. It’s going to be a long four years.

As always, the Bar Bro urges you to drink responsibly. Don't be classless. Just low-class.
