A beverage recipe for tonight’s debate
As always, my advice for tonight’s debate is to lower your expectations.
And: Have a stiff drink handy.
Happily, a reader in Denver e-mailed the perfect recipe.
I’m going to go out and buy the ingredients ASAP:
I am a bartender in the Hotel Teatro, Denver Colorado. I read you a lot and I invented a drink for you, I call it the ACORN. Ingredients are Amaretto, Cranberry, Orange Juice, Rum and Nutmeg. ACORN! Shake it up serve as a martini. Don’t know if you drink but if you do, enjoy! It tastes pretty good.
Bottoms up!

Corona… lime…
That sounds better than the Pepto-Bismol I was planning for the chronic stomachache these debates seem to give me!
Har!
patron. let’s just get right down to it.
I recommend getting so completely smashed beforehand that if you’re not in a coma by the time it starts, you probably wont remember anything about tomorrow morning anyway.
+it
My drink for election night. Vodka shots to honor our new comrade leader. repeat until the pain stops.
Now with 25% more voter registration fraud!
Oh look, DOW down nearly 700 points. I’ve given up trying to explain it.
Time to crack a beer.
Don’t worry about the markets. In three years, there will not be a free market anyway, it will all be owned bye the government.
850 billion well spent. (not counting the 300 billion the dems are planning on).
I’m a Gov Palin fan. My recommendation is a concoction called Moose Milk given to me by some Canadian buddies:
5 liters milk
1 liter vanilla ice cream
6 eggs, beaten
1 (40 oz.) bottle white rum
1 (40 oz.) bottle Tia Maria
Nutmeg to taste
It’ll knock your socks off!
I’m only giving McCain three “my friends” then I’m turning the debate off.
Here is my sober drinking game. Every time McCain says the following take a swig:
Border Fence
Smaller Government
Government is too big
ACORN
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
Chris Dodd
Barney Frank
Democrats
Liberals
Jeremiah Wright
Bill Ayers
You get the idea…
mmmm that Moose Milk sounds good Dex.. I’d be tempted to try it with Coconut Rum.. yummo.
Whisky Whisky Whisky nuff said
Hendrick’s Gin
Canada Dry Tonic
32 oz cup
ice
Cucumber Garnish (really!)
Looks like I need to stop at the liquor store on the way home and stock up on the vodka and vermouth….
Since we’re going to be trying to digest McCain, I’d suggest dropping the orange juice and tripling up on the rum.
Sounds pretty good! Refreshing.
The obvious drink for the evening is a Long Island Tea! VERY strong.
I’ll post the recipe later.
Hope it’s not Absolute Vodka. I’m still made at their no border ad.
Not even a slight buzz Valiant.
The ACORN sounds tasty though. The Moose Milk? I’m still working on the raw eggs. Otherwise it sounds pretty good.
Can you substitute novocaine for nutmeg? I really need to be numb to sit through another debate as dull as the first two…
Apple Martinis with a little sourness (Obummer) and a little tartness (McCain) all around!
what expectations? I have none.
Last time I followed somebodies suggestion and did a shot each time McCain said “my friends”. I missed three day of work and will not do that again. I’m going to try something easier like doing a shot everytime I hear either candidate give an intelligent, in-depth response that is not pure fluff or dumbed down for a twelve year old.
They’re already 100 miles below sea level, so I’ll just check in from time to time to read the bad news from our hostess and the good folks here.
Maybe someone can inform McCain that his mic is not wedged somewhere deep up Obama’s backside.
So, sorry, just can’t watch. Can drink, though! And there’s a documentary on the Minoans I’ve been meaning to watch.
If y’all will be playing the “my friends” drinking game tonight beware of extremely toxic alchohol levels.
In order to stay awake till the end, I’ll probably go with Irish Coffee.
I’m planning on serving koolaid and vodka for my demoncrat guests.
Bowl of baked beans;
Wash down with pineapple juice.
You’ll make Hawaiian music all night.
And you need not worry about malaria!!
I’m going to toss a coin and decide between Jim Beam Black and Monopolawa Potato Vodka…oh…wait…the Dallas Stars are playing tonight!!! I can watch a REAL fight.
Can you get Apfel Korn here? Put in the freezer for a couple hours and do shots. Wicked stuff! Zehr gut!
Long Island Tea
1 part vodka
1 part Tequila
1 part lightrum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®
That game will make you the “designated driver”, jsr.
Ditto! I think you are being very generous – I can’t stand listening to it anymore. That and watching the brown turd… Can we vote already!
Michelle, while that new drink does sound good, I am going to use my old stand by… Jameson’s 18 year old Irish whiskey straight!… The debate will surely cause me to be depressed more than I am and the whiskey will, at the least, render me comatose to the bleating of these two losers.
Champagne–if the Phillies win.
Meh…my drink of choice tonight will be…water. You see, I’ll ride my bicycle to the gym tonight, work out (takes about an hour), then ride home. But, I’ll slam out a few extra miles, probably enough to get home when the debate is over.
Enjoy the buzz (and the extra calories), folks. As for serving the suggested concoction as a martini, methinks the submitter is a fan of getdrunkandvote4mccain.com
*out*
For tonight my recommendation is a double shot of anejo tequila (the good stuff that sat in a barrel for a while) on the rocks with a lime twist and a Dos Equis on the side in an icy beer glass with lime twist.
You will need to be two fisted drinking to handle these two spank blankets for a couple of hours.
Join me for a toast to Ronald Reagan at the beginning of the fiasco, I mean debate. May he not have to roll over in his grave, God bless him.
Cheney Palin 08, Palin – Watts 2012
I’m not going to watch the debate. I will not listen to bho, the mute is on when he talks, and John probably won’t go for the juglar. I will get all the information I need tomorrow here and other sites. I just want this over with!
L
Tonight McCain hands the election to The One. Are those expectations low enough for you, Michelle?
I gotta go buy a bottle of Bushmills . . .
Hell just looking at the dow makes me want to drink….
If Mrs. Boomer allows me to watch the debate I might have to chase it down with about 4 inches of Glenfiddich and then add some ice. That should keep me loopy enough to not yell at the TV tonight, keep the blood pressure down, and allow me to get some sleep. I have become a real light weight when it comes to drinking in my middle age.
As we pound into the troops head every chance we get have a plan, don’t drink and drive, and always look out for your wingman.
Welcome to the United Socialist States of America! We’re boned!
I am going to watch with 2 of my good friends … so to paraphrase an old song (and show my age) …
José to the left of me
Jack to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle of booze
Any more debates and those rum guys won’t need their bailout.
The Obama indoctrination libation:
Hemlock and cyanide with a twist of Kool Aid and a sprig of arugula.
USSA, Boomer, spot on. We’ll have to amend the Constitution and change the name of the exectutive branch from the President to the Chairman.
How about an Obama Wallbanger:
500 ml Russian Vodka
500 ml French Brandy
a splash of Lake Michigan Water
Shake (down) well
Pour over a leaf of arugula
Sip with pinkie properly extended
Oops… forgot the Raspberry Koolaid!
Hey that’s right … the Phillies are gonna play!!! ….. ok, I’ll bag the Irish whiskey and watch the game. Thanks , Jeff C… I needed that reminder. I’ll pretend Victorino, Howard, Burrell, Rollins are beating Obammy with their bats….
Accusatory bleat about my advocating violence in 3, 2, 1…….
You did that incorrectly!!!! Thats racist!!!! Off to the camp for 3 weeks of education for you!!!
signed Obama Agent 1232168.
You left out the dash of Ohio River – polluted of course…
On the plus side, if you’re invested in breweries and distillers that’s good news!
Here is a drink I developed many years ago when I did some bartending … we served it as an alternative hangover drink for those that didn’t like Bloody Mary’s …
To anyone that has ever had the pleasure of frequenting an Orange Julius store you are in for a treat … this drink looks and tastes like an Orange Julius …
1 part Vodka
1 part Gin
1 part Light Rum
1 egg
4 Tablespoons of Sugar
Orange Juice
Put ingredients into a blender with ice, leaving about 3 inches at the top to allow for the foam that will result from blending … it will have the foam and light orange color of an Orange Julius …
Blend and serve …
Careful … they taste so good that it is easy to drink too many …
Hey, during the Great Depression, the Prohibition Amendment was repealed. So if we have another depression, what will we repeal this time?
Since we seem to be headed down an “Orwellian” path, I think I will drink cheap gin and like it!
Why not, Wallstreet is already well ahead of you on the drinks.
non-DNC voting rights.
“Stealing wheels” with those lyrics, eh, DL?
Since it seems like the whole country is about to commit suicide and elect BHO, I think the perfect drink is the kamakasi.
Here is a frat house version from the 80’s
1 bottle each Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Triple Sec, 12oz Roses Lime Juice, 2ltrs 7-up
Mix and serve over ice. Serves ??
Simple Life – J&B on the rocks.
Hey, there’s a debate tonight? Color me insouciant. (Me lern new werd too dey.)
Maybe I’ll watch it online later. Key word is maybe.
Rum/Gin (not clear on the proportions, however) + flavoring appears to the recommended neuron killer of choice. Unfortunately, my doctor forbids me to drink. Come election night, however, I will likely have serious reservations about wanting to wake up the next morning so I may hit the sauce regardless. Some of these recipes look like they might do the job nicely.
I vote for the 14th Ammendment. The one that allows for anchor babies for illegals. Won’t happen, though.
peep …
Yep … figured somebody would get it …
Michelle Obama says that white conservatives who oppose her husband are evil, African Americans who oppose her husband are envious.

I plan to stay sober for the immediate future.
(That Moose Milk sounds good though. I’ll save it for Sarah Palins’ inauguration.)
touch of gaul
two sprigs of hemlock
two aspirin
low expectations
one full size towel
box of Kleenex
God Bless America except for the blue states.

ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS
Should be a convenience store
NOT a Government Agency
the wife and I have the migrain meds ready…ah heck we’ll just take them before it starts….
Optional for Obama voters.
Excellent suggestion, Dexter!! But you’re right, Chairman Obama would never allow that one. He wants to repeal the entire Bill of Rights.
Why not Hemlock?
Why should we drink hemlock? How about we make them drink it?
I have watched both Conventions and the Presidential debates all my adult life. I’ve never played drinking games before, but there’s always a first time.

Holy crap! The Secret Service are here! That was fast!
I’ll be drinking Cognac. Goes good with Crapsandwich.
Being as I am the walking definition of Joe Six-Pack, I already have my 6 pack of Bud Light in the fridge…….
Can’t get drunk if you’re barfing the whole time.
Single Malt (something from Islay, preferably) and lots of it. Might as well spend what I’ve got on Scotch before I have to stand in line to buy what the local state-run store has available.
You can buy eggs pre-pasteurized. *nodnod*
Um, I’m not falling for the defeatism of the media. Have a little hope, people.
Perhaps champagne may be in order after the debate? Just a thought and a shot of optimism.
I do hope Bernanke and Bush stop giving speeches on the economy. Wall Street does not seem to like it… and the polls quickly follow in support of The One.
I’ll be going to Margaritaville.
Don’t forget the 2X4 to bang your head against periodically
Why do I suddenly hear the chanting of “Pie Iesu Domine. Dona Eis Requiem.” followed by the *thwok*?

I’m drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. The aspartame it contains kills brain cells and the more I can do in before Obama is elected the better my chances of surviving his presidency.
If you’re mixing a drink, don’t forget the Bitters!
; )
LOL…be a short nite for you, good book?
heck, lets just get it over with, drink caster oil for crying out loud! May as well get used to swallowing nasty a*S stuff.
Michelle – what do you have in store for us tomorrow to lift our spirits???? Huummmmm????
FTFY
I’ll be having wine – don’t care if it’s out of a box, or from a fine vintner as long as it’s white, from the U.S. and lots of it.
When y’all get hiccups – a straight shot of Rose’s Lime Juice tossed back does the trick. Learned that from a bartender from Texas in Red Lodge, Mt. years ago. Works every time.
No joke. This stuff is poison. Seriously.
Anyway,
Tonight’s Debate:
Obama’s worst debate performance was when he was trying to sit on his lead in the Gibson/Stephanalhggreeknameokas moderated debate. He refused to attack Hillary on anything, and most importantly he was mealy mouthed when addressing his “associations”. Hillary basically kicked his a$$. Obama has improved a lot since then, and being the brilliant politician that he is, I’m sure he’s studied and learned from that debate.
Obama needs to continue to attack McCain’s economic policies and tie him to Bush. It’s important that he looks presidential without showing the bemused arrogance of a Gore or Kerry. If Obama simply repeats what he did in the last townhall, and throw in a few more specifics he’s home free. Most importantly, he should have a ready answer for the Ayers, Wright and ACORN related questions. I’m sure he’s ready to counterpunch, because he has tried to goad McCain into this trap in the past week.
If McCain were smart, he’d focus on his economic policies and attack the Bush years. He’d also be smart to discuss drilling and immigration reform since these issues interest voters a great deal, but have been off the radar. He’d also be wise to learn from the mistakes he made at the townhall debate in regards to manners and temperment.
Obama’s trying to run out the clock, but he’d better stay aggressive. We’ve all seen how a prevent defense can embolden the other side to come back, and change the game around.
Obama/Biden 08.
1st and 2nd…
Correct. He threw away a huge opportunity by not looking Presidential and hammering Mr. Big Taxer Big Spender during Crap Sandwich 2.0
The bad news, when you say “immigration reform”, he hears “let them in”.
cold.hands. AlohaGuy
She’s coming over? I thought she had to take the kids to school tomorrow.
I may drink chocolate milk so I won’t be considered a racist.
