Dr Patton's Drinking Game for the Presidential Address
The Good Doctor Michael Patton has come up with the following drinking game for tonight's Presidential address about the war in Iraq (You know: The war we won a few years ago). If you happen to live in Montevallo then they'll be playing this fine game at Eclipse Coffee and Books. Otherwise, you should gather a few friends and play in the comfort of your own home or favorite watering hole. Hmmm: I wonder if they'll show it at The Plaza or Bottletree?
Regardless: Enjoy the speech. It's sure to be a doozy!

What to Drink
Beer’s best, you know it is. If you’re dry, drink non-alcoholic beer - it’s better than it used to be. If you’re not dry but you hate beer, you can drink a half-strength highball: put one ounce of your favorite non-sweet liquor (bourbon, gin, vodka, scotch, cognac, even tequila) in a glass full of ice, and top it all the way up with seltzer, tonic water or soda. Usually a highball is two ounces, but if you drink real highballs for this game you’ll DIE.
How to Play
These words or phrases are your cues to drink:
• “9/11” - drink once
• “September the 11th” drink twice - is that extra “the” supposed to make the mention more dramatic?
• “Surge” - drink once
• “Escalation” or “escalate” - drink twice.
• If he denies that the troop increase is an escalation, drink half of what’s in your glass.
• “Moqtada al Sadr” - drink once
• Mangled pronounciation of “Moqtada al Sadr” - drink twice
• “Victory” - drink once
• “Failure” - drink once
• “Iran” - drink once
• “The Islamic Republic of Iran” - drink twice
• “They’ll follow us home” - drink once
• “We can pay the price and win, or pay a similar price and lose” - drink once
• “Hitler” or “Nazi” or “Third Reich” or “Holocaust” or “appease” - dump your drink out in the sink, splash some water on your face, look at yourself in the mirror, and resolve to volunteer for a Democratic presidential campaign in ‘08.
• Mention of any killed or wounded American soldier by name - drink once, and make an online donation to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
• “Jenna” or “Barbara” or “my daughters” - drink twice
• “Saddam Hussein” - drink once
• “Saddamists” - drink twice
• If he says “God Bless” anything but just “America” at the end of the speech - drink once
That’s it. You may want to print out the list for yourself ahead of time - feel free to also add any other terms that drive you nuts. Pick a designated driver, of course. And make sure you’ve got plenty of ibuprofen and water on hand so you’ll be recovered in time for Thursday night’s protests.
