Commenter "Apostate Jew" offered up the rules for a Hit and Run drinking game a few days back; I figure it's only fair to let everyone play. Additional rule suggestions welcome in the comments. Here it is:
Hit and Run Drinking Game, TM
This games can be played alone, in a virtual group (players sit at they computers and communicate by telephone, texting, IM, etc. or—only for experts—by posting on the blog) or in a live group at a private house or in a public house (bar).
Drinks are hereafter defined as 6 ounces of beer, a 1.5 ounce shot, a glass of wine*, or anything the self-described libertarian thinks it should be (it's still a semi-free fucking country, goddamit).
