Because The Modern Gal is an equal-opportunist and because the Democratic Convention Drinking Game was so freakin’ popular this week (seriously, three separate hits from the U.S. Capitol one day), it’s time to work on our Republican Convention Drinking Game.

I have to admit that I’m having a harder time with this one either because I haven’t seen as much coverage of the McCain ticket until today or because he’s not as catch-phrasey as Obama. But The Modern Beau, who’s primary love is politics, has stepped in to help.

Some rules:

• Every time shaking up Washington is mentioned, take one drink
• Every time you hear the word ‘maverick’ or ‘hockey mom,’ take two drinks
• Every time McCain addresses the crowd as ‘my friends,’ three drinks
• Every time Obama’s inexperience is mentioned, drain at least half your beverage*

*This rule was previously expected to be a one-drink rule until McCain named a running mate with about as much experience as Obama. I’ll be a bit more shocked if this gets tossed around as much. I reserve the right to amend this rule, however.

Ok, what rules do you want to add?
