The Debate Drinking Game!

With the divorce debate still irritating us, I present to you all the Debate Drinking Game.

Basically it goes like this - get a friend and a whole lot of water (or any other liquid), and watch some debate on the television. You and your friend takes opposite sites. Whenever any of these 'bad arguments' occur, the person siding with the party which made them, takes a dose of the liquid. See who dies of water poisoning first.

Works well with other debates to!

[ ] Think of the Children
[ ] Religious Attack ("Fight the Good Fight! Our victory is assured!")
[ ] Personal Attack
[ ] Reference to something which happened in the opponent's past
[ ] Attempting to show Opponent is a Hypocrite
[ ] Godwin's Law (Reference to Nazism or other extremists)
[ ] Reading From the Bible
[ ] Misreading/Misinterpreting something from the Bible
[ ] Bringing up Statistics which don't make sense
[ ] Bringing up Statistics which are misinterpreted
[ ] Making up Statistics as you go along
[ ] Extended Metaphor which makes no sense
[ ] "I can't counter your argument but choose not to agree with you"
[ ] "You have your own opinion and I deserve mine"
[ ] X is a human right
[ ] X is a FUNDEMENTAL human right
[ ] Celebrity agrees
[ ] Some Important Person Agrees (Dr/Lawyer/whatever)
[ ] Political Party Agrees
[ ] Slippery Slope Argument ("If we give them X today, they'll want Y tomorrow")

[ ] Liberalist Creed statement "We should have the right to decide for ourselves"
[ ] Conservatist Creed statement "Its worked in the past"

I'm sure this isn't an exhaustive list. But you should have enough to unbalance the Sodium in your brain.
