Planning on getting hammered for tonight’s State of the Union Address, but not sure about the best way to go about it?  Try the official State of the Union Drinking Game.

Created by Princeton alums Marc Melzer ‘02 and Howard Deutsch ‘02 during their senior year in college, the game has become an annual tradition for our more alcoholic patriots.  It’s also become something of a media darling — the New York Post had a big writeup on it this morning, and just fifteen minutes ago I heard a news anchor on CNN suggest that viewers play along.

According to the Post, Melzer and Deutsch have included a shoutout to our tigress of a First Lady in this year’s version of the game: “A camera shot of First Lady Michelle Obama earns a [shot], 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.”
