Inauguration Drinking Game 2017: Rules For When To Sip, Gulp And Guzzle During Trump's Swearing-In

Friday is inauguration, and that means it's time to beg off work and play a politics-themed drinking game.

Love him or hate him, President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office at noon in a ceremony on the West Front of the Capitol. If you're watching from home, why not pair his speech with some booze? After all, drinking during important events is practically an American pastime.

Grab a domestic beer — or make yourself a red, white and blue cocktail — and sit down with your friends. Then follow these rules, with suggestions from AMNY, thefreshtoast and Trumped Up Drinks. As always, please drink responsibly.
