Election Day and Voting: A Celebration of Democracy. Plus, Cocktails Are Half Off with an "I Voted" Sticker

2. Tonight, you should not be alone. You're probably going to need a lot of alcohol to survive, and drinking alone is bad.

I'm drinking Coors for the red states, an amusing little French Bordeaux for the blue states, and a tequila shot every time a talking head mentions Florida and the fiasco of 2000. What can I tell you? Election night is Woodstock for graduate students in political science.
