Well, the day we’ve all been fearing, hoping, or just praying to come and go has finally arrived.

For those of you following the races closely, you should probably know that Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog will be updated live throughout the evening. For what’s worth, there’s no one better at making sense of the numbers than Silver.

For those less inclined to political nerding-out, or who do not have money on any of these races, try this enjoyable drinking game and prepare to cut class tomorrow.

Take a drink when:

-A House, Senate, or Governor’s seat changes parties (two if the race was too close to call)

-A political pundit pontificates on how important the race that was just called was.

-A TV anchor predicts how many seats in the House or Senate the Republicans will hold. (Three if both chambers are mentioned in the same sentence)

Take a shot when:

-A race comes out differently than predicted (ex. A race is expected to go Rep. but comes out Dem.)

-National news networks mention a state ballot measure. (California does not count)

-Anyone mentions the 2012 Election

Slam a crappy well cocktail that you got for free if:

-Ballot Measure 75 (Portland Casino) passes.

Go to bed, wake up, and slam a Bloody Mary if:

-A House, Senate, or Governor’s race isn’t called by 2:30 local time

Shotgun a 4Loco if:

A “Tea Party” candidate wins their race.
