AROUND the United States, Americans are shaking furiously ahead of President Barack Obama's first State of the Union address today.
But they're not trembling in fear, anger or anticipation: they're using cocktail shakers to get ready for the State of the Union drinking game.
Invented in 2002 by Marc Melzer and Howard Deutsch when they were final-year students at Princeton University, the basic rules of the game require players to down a shot or chug a beer when the President says certain words or phrases, or speaks the names of people or countries during the speech.
- Introduced in 1969 the Shell Oil Company's 'States of the Union' promotional coin contest built on the success of the previous year's 'Mr. President' coin game. The game as described on the outside of the game card folder shown below was a promotion where customers would receive a free 'coin' with each visit to their local Shell Service Station.
- US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Russia was likely behind the massive cyberattack on multiple government agencies and organisations. 'We can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians.
This year, 'hope' and 'change' both require a swig of something, as do mentions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran or Pakistan.
'Let me be clear' and 'make no mistake' get a shot each, and if Mr Obama references problems that his administration inherited, players drink a shot of something aged -- which is also the drinking requirement if the cameras show a shot of 92-year-old Senator Robert Byrd.
The game was initially inspired by Mr Melzer's and Mr Deutsch's desperate search for a way to get through an hour-long speech by former president George W. Bush, whose 'speaking style is not one for the ages,' Mr Melzer said.
'But we had a lot of fun with the game when we were first coming up with it,' Melzer recalled, thinking back whimsically to the shots he downed when Bush pronounced the word 'nukular' -- a Bushism for 'nuclear' -- or mentioned God or any euphemism for God (two drinks) in his annual speech.
This year, with the silver-tongued Obama in office, the motivation was different and Mr Melzer and Mr Deutsch had to wipe the slate clean and start anew.
'But we weren't lacking for material,' Melzer said.
'I think even the most rabid Obama fan, even Rahm Emmanuel himself (Obama's chief of staff) would say that there are a lot of verbal tics that pile up over the course of a year.'
Many of those tics -- such as the expression 'through no fault of their own' -- are on this year's drinking game list.
But that particular tic only merits a shot if Mr Obama is talking about unemployment, and the swig can only be taken by any of the millions of Americans who are out of a job and happen to be playing the game.
Hopefully, someone else will pay for that round.

Drinks are also required if the camera zooms in on someone listening to the speech in the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill.
A camera shot of First Lady Michelle Obama earns a jigger, and if the camera shows the first lady's well-cut arms, players take another step towards getting well-cut themselves, in both meanings of the word, because that shot has to be delivered using a bicep curl.
If Obama mentions the word 'stimulus,' you drink an espresso -- which might be welcome relief after the shot downed for 'reform,' the shot taken without moving any facial muscles if the camera zooms in on House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi, or the shot if Mr Obama introduces a special guest.
Teetotal viewers who get tired of waiting for the word 'stimulus' could always play State of the Union bingo.
Foreign Policy magazine has a Bingo card template posted on its blog.
It lists Mr Obama speech tics, such as 'let me be clear,' and words he is likely to utter, such as Osama bin Laden and climate change, under the letters.
Cross them off when Mr Obama says them and when you get five in a row, you've won. There's no prize, but it will give you something to do during the speech. Iq game cheats level 5.
Of course, a real challenge would be playing the drinking game and bingo simultaneously.
The cue words and rules of the drinking game are posted online at www.drinkinggame.us.
As of noon yesterday (US time), the site had 7000 hits, and Mr Melzer expected the number to top 25,000 by the time Obama finishes his State of the Union address -- at which time the Republican Response Bonus Game kicks in for anyone who's still standing and able to read the cue words.

The State of the Union address is set this year to be epic on all fronts. It will be a “beautiful” display of President Trump’s continued attempts to convince Americans that everything is “tremendous” and that he is “winning.”
If you play along with some of us, it will also be a way to get very drunk.
Insofar as the actual speech goes, we all know by now that there are two Trumps when it comes to giving speeches. One who behaves and reads the words on the teleprompter verbatim (sort of, when he remembers HOW to read), and the other who flies by the seat of his pants and says whatever the hell he wants.
It’s anyone’s guess which version we will see tonight.
What no one has to guess at, however, is what he will talk about. He will brag that everything is lovely, he will lie, he will attempt to throw his enemies under the bus, and he will say he is bigly better than any president alive or dead.
Oh, and it’s not too late! For the low low price of only 35 dollars, you can actually see your name flash across the screen during the speech. I wish I were kidding. Trump is selling screen time. His supporters will be able to see their name on their tee-vee screens “for as low as $35.”
If you have decided that you will watch the SOTU address tonight, there’s really only one way to get through the thing: Drinking. Luckily Rolling Stone published an official rules list for a game that is set to help you lube up enough to weather the storm of bullshit set to flash across your screen this night.
GET YOUR DRINK ON
Oh, if alcohol isn’t your drug of choice, DO NOT play this game… You will die. Otherwise, grab your bottles and hunker down, this is going to get interesting.
Take one drink every time Trump:
- Every time Trump says “believe me,” or makes the claim that he is “the most (something good)” or the “least (something bad)”
- Pulls out a line like, “some of my best friends are black” or in some other inane way attempts to deny being a racist. Drink twice if he does this then goes on to talk about building the wall.
- “Talks priapismically about the Republican tax cut package, or hints at the great relationship he enjoys with the GOP leadership, causing a cutaway to a mortified Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, as each struggles over whether or not to bite his glass cyanide capsule” (((I direct quoted that one because it’s too good)))
- Mentions the tax plan and brags that Apple, WalMart, or Exxon is supposedly “investing in America” using their surplus from the tax cut. (All while laying off thousands of employees)
- Uses that “pinchy hands” gesture, up to a maximum of three times (with his hands, not the butthole gesture with his mouth)
- Sniffles, as we all know that it is ski season (Maximum of 3, so you don’t die)
- Brags excessively about Milania in an attempt to ease her anger at him after the Stormy Daniels payoff. Rolling Stone called it a “Kobe special.”
- Says anything is “tremendous.” Drink twice if said thing was, in fact, NOT tremendous, like the tax bill or his first year in office.
- Causes any lawmaker to walk out in the middle of the address
- Makes a threat, veiled or otherwise, to North Korea.
- Brings up the 702 Surveillance Reauthorization. Drink two times if you see members of both parties cheering for that one.
- “Mentions Jay-Z, Meryl Streep, Michael Wolff, Steve Bannon, “Fake News” CNN or Dianne Feinstein. Double shot for “FBI lovers” Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, “Dicky” Durbin, “Cryin'” Chuck Schumer, or “Crazy” Jim Acosta.”
- Talks about a “witch hunt.” If he mentions collusion grab a pal and hug it out after you take your drink.
- Mispronounces “Nazarbayev” or some other similarly difficult name. Take a double shot if he mispronounces Davos or attempts to convince everyone that the Swiss adored him.
- Alludes to any historical figure like Dr. King or Lincoln or any other dead person that would be horrified to be admired by the Orange.
And there you have it, folks. The official game rules for Drinking Your way Through the Shitshow that is Trump.
Please, drink responsibly, and if you can’t make sure you fall asleep on your left side.
Via con Dios.
