State of the Union & Drinking
by @ 4:39 pm. Filed under Fun Stuff


Today’s L.A. Times commentary by Heather Havrilesky, a television critic for Salon.com, includes some sanguine advice for how to cope with the fiction that will be this year’s State of the Union Address. Her advice? Drink. And not just a bubbly little sipping wine while you watch the horror unfold. No, her suggestion is far more devious. It’s a drinking game that has you take a drink every time the Prez says something specific, like “terror” or refers to “9/11″ or countless other little gestures and phrases to watch out for. It sure seems like it will make the time pass less painfully. Sure, we’ll still have to sober up in the morning and face the real state of our nation, but please, not tonight. Tonight I’ll be drinking. Pass me the growler.

If you enjoyed this post or the Bulletin generally, please consider buying me a pint

    Jay -

    Personally, I passed on the address for a homebrew club meeting.

    But I’m adding this comment to note Shelton Brothers offered a different short of State of the Union address in their newly launched blog (http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/blog/). Mostly about the beers they import, but those are pretty good beers.

    Prosit - Stan
