Referendum day drinking game

[davywavy]

Take a drink every time...

1) Every time someone who has just spent six weeks telling you how to vote says "I don't mind how you vote so long as you do"...
2) ...and then follows it up by telling you how to vote anyway.
3) Every time someone insults the intelligence of people who don't vote the 'right' way.
4) Every time someone uses the word 'fair' to describe their preferred system.
5) Every time a Yes campaigner points out the BNP are campaigning for a No vote.
6) Every time a No campaigner points out UKIP are campaigning for a yes vote.
7) Every time someone asks 'Can the coalition survive?'
8) Every time a LibDem moves to 'distance' themself from Nick Clegg.
9) Every time Chris Huhne says something which indicates he really hasn't a clue what he's about.
10) Every time someone sends you a link to that bloody 'cats for AV' video.
11) Every time someone asks how you voted.

God, today is just going to fly by.

Yes I am pro Yes and want to see AV win but I'm also massively pro voting and want to see the country break its current piss-poor voter turnout score so please have a couple dozen shots on me for encouraging people to go vote without putting my personal preference in. Sorry that I'm not one of those that gives you doubles from 2 but there you go.
As for 3 - I shall leave that till the result is announced ;-)

12. Every time Mr David Wade tells you he doesn't care.

But how do you decide what drink to have in the game when three of you want Stolichnaya, two want Vladivar, two want Imperial and four want Diamond White?

...I'll get me coat. (But which coat do people want me to wear? The anorak, the hoodie...?)

I was assailed at Queenstown Road this morning by some people telling me their preferred voting system would "Make MPs work harder". "I don't want them to work harder, they'd just expect more money."

Wow, I'd actually managed to forget all about the referendum until I read this post! XD It... fails to stick in the mind, doesn't it? Well, I've been down the road now and voted (the people running the polling station seemed surprised to see someone actually turning up!), and the rest of the day is now free to enjoy the little game you've outlined above. ^_^

How are you even sober enough to type this entry?

I really qualify for most of those, don't I? But it's true that I would rather someone vote against me than not at all.

Somebody just linked the cat video on my LJ, not entirely sure why.

If I wasn't driving around today I would play this game and then proceed to drink the supermarket dry as that's how much alcohol I would need...

Funnily enough, I'd be stone cold sober today...

Let's just say that it's not a discussion topic at work today.

I know it's unusual for me but if I actually participated in this game I'd be hammered by 12:00pm. (And if I was still there, obviously.)
