CP text: Barack Obama should invite

<Party that does not approve of the plan> to enjoy some Tactical Nuclear Penguins,
get them slap dead drunk, and THEN propose the following plan: <insert aff plan
here>

Theoretical grounds: The CP is real world:

Tactical Nuclear Penguins actually exist, and are available for purchase.
Alcohol is a part of daily life for many (whether through experience or seen in the
media).

not that much).

Alcohol affects judgment and reasoning first

alcoholtreatmentclinics.com, “Effects of Alchohol”, 2010:
Now, I want to write on how alcohol effects the brain. The first part of your brain to be effected by alcohol is the
frontal lobe. At a .05% alcohol level in your blood, your frontal lobe is effected. The frontal lobe is
responsible for judgment and reasoning (which I’ll get to in a little bit). At .1 - .15%, the alcohol travels to your
midbrain, where muscle coordination, vision, and speech are controlled. An alcoholic who drinks to this point tends to sway, slur their
speech, and has very bad visual coordination (do not drive at all). After this point, the alcohol moves toward your Pons and Medulla
Oblongota (two parts in the center part of your brain) where your respiratory system and cardiac system are effected. Hopefully, by
this time, your body has shut down and you pass out before the alcohol becomes a lethal poison in your body.

And, Tactical Nuclear Penguins solve. It takes only a few of them to get a person
drunk. More effective than leading brands.
Time Magizine, “Super-High-Alcohol Beer Heads to the US”, 2010:
Thanks to a war among European brewing companies, it's never been easier to catch a healthy beer buzz. Or get yourself totally
sloshed. In November, BrewDog, a three-year-old Scottish microbrewery, released a new brand, dubbed Tactical Nuclear
Penguin. The beer set a new record by weighing in at a scary 32% alcohol by volume (ABV), more than
six times the strength of familiar domestic brands like Budweiser . As explained in a cheeky video on the
company's website (warning: the clip contains simulated penguin sex), the brewery was able to attain the high alcohol content by
freezing the beer at a local ice cream factory, at temperatures as low as -6°C (21°F), for 21 days. Alcohol freezes at lower
temperatures than water, and removing water from the solution increased the alcohol concentration.

This is not unrealistic. Obama has given politicians beer to resolve issues before.
CBC News, “Harper Collects on Beer Bet with Obama”, March 19, 2010:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper collected on his sudsy Olympic hockey bet with President Barack Obama on Friday.
U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson delivered two cases of beer to the prime minister's residence at 24 Sussex
Drive in Ottawa.
the U.S. ambassador
Owing to Canada's 3-2 overtime victory over the United States in the gold-medal match in men's hockey,
brought Harper 24 bottles of Molson Canadian.
"To show there's no hard feelings, the president also threw in a case of Yuengling on top of the
Molsons," Jacobson said.

When someone is drunk, they don’t care about consequences

Frank Kermit, Relationship Expert and Best Selling Author, “When someone is drunk, are they more likely to be honest or lie?”,
2010:
My experience with drunk people (I do not get drunk) is that the only constant is that Drunk people do not care
about the conquences of their actions. Honesty is irrelevant in this context.

A2: Perm

A2: Perm—do both

You can’t perm the CP. The counter plan involves doing the plan after getting the
opposing party slammed. So you can’t pass the plan, and then pass the plan again without
the alcohol (you can’t do the plan twice)

A2 Severence perm:
1 – DOESN’T TEST COMPETITION – if the aff has to get rid of their plan, then the counterplan must be
competitive

2 – PLAN FOCUS BEST – the plan is the focus of the debate, severance destroys debate and education

3 – THIS PERM PROVES NOT ALL OF THEIR PLAN IS GOOD, SO THEY LOSE

4 – THE NEG CAN NEVER WIN – if aff can sever out of their plan, they can spike out of all of our links,
meaning the aff always wins; we lose all ground

5 – MOVING TARGET – when they change their plan all our strategies are useless because their shifts are
unpredictable

6 – PROMOTES ARGUMENTATIVE IRRESPONSIBILITY – severance allows teams to shift advocacies and

change their plans, which is infinitely regressive and destroys debate

7 – STRATEGY SKEW – our arguments say their plan is bad; if they can eliminate the bad parts of our plan,
our strategies are useless, which is abusive

8 – EXACERBATES SIDE BIAS – aff already gets infinite prep and the first and last speeches – they don’t
need another advantage

9 – NEGATION THEORY – we can do anything to test the aff; if they sever, it proves that we have proved
part of their plan wrong

10 – RECIPROCITY – there is no negative equivalent to severing out of part of the plan
