GameDaily's Chris "Salmon" Buffa shares with us a way to make it through the E3 press conferences: alcohol. In the spirit of great college drinking games, he offers a way to get hammered with your friends while Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony show the goods:

Microsoft
Take a sip when/if:
The planted actors cheer.
Microsoft discusses Viva Pinata (take another sip if five minutes pass and Microsoft is still discussing Viva Pinata).
Microsoft says that Viva Pinata is its biggest game of 2006.
Microsoft discusses the battle in Japan and how it's not giving up the fight.
They drag out someone from Square Enix, who then proceeds to announce a PS2 game that's being "enhanced" for Xbox 360.
Microsoft knocks Blu-Ray and/or discusses the Xbox 360's HD-DVD add on.

Far more after the link.
