The vice presidential debate is going to be a party. (Twodolla at Flickr Image)

As the Vice presidential debate time nears, many of us our trying to ease the pain of what a gong show it's going to be for Sarah Palin by devising fun activities such as Palin Bingo and now a VP drinking game.

Here are the VP debate drinking game rules courtesy of The Seminal.

Disclaimer: If you are going to play this drinking game (which I don't recommend), choose a few of the options below. And do not, under any circumstances, try this in public.

Another Disclaimer: You may notice that there are more elements dedicated to Palin than Biden. I don't care. Face it, Palin is way easier than Biden to make fun of.

• Every time Palin tries to talk about energy policy: praise your favorite oil company and pour an Alaskan Oil Spill.
• When Biden mentions Scranton, PA: Drink a Rolling Rock or similar "working class" beer.
• Every time Palin mentions a Moose or says something so stupid you think she might be less intelligent than one: drink a Moosehead beer.
• Everytime Biden mentions a foreign leader he has met: sip wine — every time he mentions a Senator as a friend: drink beer.
• When Palin claims she said "Thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere: Demand a new drink from your hosts, say "thanks but no thanks," and then when no one's looking, take it anyway, then claim you never wanted it. (Via)
• Every time Palin mentions Joe Six Pack: drink a six pack and a cup of Joe.
• Every time Biden says literally: measure out exactly one shot of Absolut.
• Every time Palin says she has executive experience: take a shot, to the head.
• Every time Sarah Palin suggests Joe Biden's age and/or experience is a negative: toast the 72 year old McCain with an Old Fashioned.
• Every time Sarah Palin totally blanks on a question as she did several times in the Katie Couric interview: toss down a Mind Eraser shot (Kahlua, Vodka, and Sprite).
• Every time either candidate says something that obviously isn't true: drink a little white lie.
• Every time Palin gets a round of applause put on Small Town Girl by Journey and do a double shot of the cheapest liquor in sight.
• Every time Palin mentions Alaska, add a few ice cubes to whatever you are drinking.
• Every time Palin fidgets and twists her fingers, switch drinks with the person next to you.
• Every time Palin mentions Wasilla drink a shot of Jager and howl at the wolves.
• If Palin makes a Hockey Mom reference: chug a Candian beer of your choice
• Everytime Biden says "Folks": clink glasses/bottles, increasing the number of clinks each time — ex. the third time he says "folks" you clink three times.
• Whenever Palin doesn't know an answer but comes off as adorable: drink a fuzzy navel.
• Every time "main street" and "wall street" are uttered in the same sentence, toss back a shot of Courvoisier and chase it with a sip of Old English.

Good luck, have fun, don't puke and don't drive. It's the Amercian way. The American way is also to throw a few bucks on the game. Why not bet on the presidential election with Bodog.
