sober drinking game

I posted about drinking lime seltzer water during the reps debates in spring 2015. I'm thinking I'll do that again, every time he lies, I'll take a sip of soda. Can you get water intoxication on seltzer? And maybe have some popcorn when the former gov of Kentucky, Beshears gives the Dem response.

One can only say the Serenity Prayer so many times.

If you go forward with your plan, you might find yourself very uncomfortable with all the carbonation. I suspect it's going to be like chugging a case of seltzer when it is all said and done. If he's talking, he'll be lying...

and you can get water intoxication on any fluid if you drink too much of it in a short time. Bubbles are irrelevant.

I'll be dismally sober, too, which is why I'll read about it later. I might be able to watch that man shitface drunk, but that ship sailed back in the 1970s.
