As the House slogged through a five-hour marathon of debate on healthcare reform on Wednesday, outspoken Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner (N.Y.) offered viewers at home a guide to the festivities and warned revelers they should enjoy their alcohol responsibly.

“You know, I want to advise people watching at home who are playing that now-popular drinking game ‘You take a shot whenever the Republicans say something that’s not true,’ ” Weiner said. “Please assign a designated driver. This is going to be a long afternoon.”

Drinking games are very popular, especially in committee rooms named after sport stadiums.
