Emergency services across the country were overwhelmed today dealing with an epidemic of tragic deaths following last night’s State of the Union address by the President.

“We’ve never seen anything like it.”

The rash of deaths by alcohol poisoning is being blamed on an internet drinking game, which required people watching the State of the Union address to do a shot every time President Trump told a lie.

“If only they’d downed shots every time Trump told the truth instead, they would still be alive right now, and stone cold sober.”

Authorities warn that participating in any drinking game based on consuming liquor whenever Trump is less that honest or does something outrageous is playing with fire.

“You might as well just put a gun to your head.”
