Alcoholic Voters Unite!

In 1996, my roommate Darren and I held a kick-ass party during on election night. We decorated our house red, white, and blue, made red, white and blue jello shots, and invited about 50 people over to watch the election returns.

There were several simple rules. When you walked in the door, you were assigned a political party, and had to wear a name badge with either a donkey or an elephant on it (regardless of your own political beliefs). We turned the TV on CNN, and when your candidate appeared on television, you had to take a drink. Every time a state projected a winner, all of the people wearing that winner's party on their name badge had to slam their drink. By the end of the night, you really didn't care who the hell won. There were other rules, but much like the rest of the seven years I spent in Kirksville, it's kind of hazy.
