Quebec Election Drinking Game

Ok, so you’ve cast your vote and are now sitting around your living room or bar (same thing for some) and are watching the election results roll in. It’s time to play the Quebec Election Drinking Game! The rules are pretty simple:

Take one drink every time:

• “Referendum”, “Separation” or “Sovereignty” is mentioned
• “Corruption” is mentioned
• “Secularism” is mentioned
• The Student Strike is mentioned

• “Bill 78” is mentioned
• “Plan Nord” is mentioned
• The “4-5-0” is mentioned
• “ADQ” is mentioned
• MNA or candidate is wearing the red square

Take three drinks:

• The future NDP Provincial Party is mentioned
• The Quebec Nordiques are mentioned
• If Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois is interviewed
• The “Anglophone Exodus” is mentioned
• A student voter says they didn’t vote (on principal or otherwise)

Take five drinks:

• François Legault wins the election
• Jacques Parizeau interviewed

Finish your drink:

Stay safe and happy election night!
