The State of Drinking?

This morning, the DP published something that found...well, interesting, to say the least: it's the 2011 State of the Union Drinking Game! Weird, we thought turning not so fun things into fun things was our schtick?

The rules suggest taking a shot whenever Obama uses one of his catchphrases, like "We need change" (well, we do) or "Let me be perfectly clear" (please do!), and during a number of other oddly chosen times.

Not sure what exactly this guest columnist was going for but originality certainly wasn't a priority.

If you're actually up for watching the State of the Union, Penn Dems and College Republicans are playing nice and hosting a viewing party in Huntsman room 245 at 8:30 p.m. There will also be a discussion on "our thoughts and hopes for 2011." Deep.

See the complete rules after the jump.

- Take a shot when Obama says, “We need change.”

- Take a shot when Obama says, “Let me be perfectly clear.”

- Stand up to drink when Obama receives a standing ovation.

- Help a friend finish a drink when Obama mentions bipartisanship.

- Take a shot when Obama says "red” or “blue.” Drunkenly sing our school song if he happens to say “red and blue.”

- If you’re in Wharton, take a shot when Obama contrasts Wall Street from Main Street.

- If you’re in the Nursing School, take a shot when Obama defends healthcare reform.

- If you’re in MEChA, take a shot when Obama defends immigration reform.

- Chase your drink with orange juice whenever you notice John Boehner.
