State of the Union Drinking Game

From Drinkinggame.us

The general rules of this game are no different from any other drinking game. A drink is either a shot or a good gulp from a beer (or cider). Different events call for different numbers of drinks and all you do is watch the speech and play along. If all goes well, you'll be unconscious by the time they show the other party's response.

Here is part of the table that contains the drinking rules. Go to Drinkinggame.us for the rest of the rules.
