A most sedate and civilized SOTU drinking game

Daniel W. Drezner is a professor of international politics at Tufts University and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Like all members of The Washington Post’s family, the hard-working staff here at Spoiler Alerts will watch Tuesday night’s State of the Union (SOTU) address by President Obama to both houses of Congress and a televised audience.

It’s been popular in recent years to develop a SOTU drinking game, and there’s no reason not to have a little fun with a speech that’s already been road-tested and media-leaked and inside-the speeched to death.
....

So, in the interest of keeping Post readers invested in the speech, but still able to function on Wednesday, here is The Most Sedate SOTU Drinking Game.
....

Take a sip of your drink if:

1.John Boehner’s skin tone is darker than the podium for Obama’s speech.
....

Take two sips of your drink if:

1.Joe Biden’s skin tone is darker than the podium for Obama’s speech.
