Some drinking games to help Americans in Israel make it through election night

[Behind the Aegis]

Drinking and politics have gone together in the United States since long before Andrew Johnson stumbled drunk through his Vice Presidential inauguration speech in 1865.

This year, at the end of the most-covered election in history, where countless millions have willingly overdosed on election coverage, putting their physical and emotional well-being at risk, a drink or two (or 12) is surely in order.

For the tens of thousands of Americans in Israel watching the results live from here in the 51st state (we're still waiting on the request for 13 electoral votes), here are a few suggestions for how to celebrate the final hours of the most nerve-wracking election in years:

* Take 50 drinks every time a state that went for Kerry goes for McCain (Won't happen, so you're safe)

* If Texas goes for Obama, sprout wings and fly while turning lead into gold (See above)

* If Obama is declared the winner, have two drinks.

* If McCain declared the winner, have 20

LOL!

2. This is, by far, the funniest one....

* Take one drink every time the Palin family is shown, two if a member of the Palin brood is holding a baby, three if the camera shows Levi Johnson nervously thumbing his engagement ring as he eyes the nearest exit.
