Chicago, IL -- A new political party might not have a shot at the White House, but members have plenty of shots containing tequila, rum and vodka.

The newly-formed Americans For a Better Party take the word "party" to a whole new level -- it only accepts members who can chug a beer as well as they can count to three.

AFBP spokesman, Corey Wilson says organizers formed the beer-slugging and shot-slamming political party because they think politics is becoming "too serious."

The group currently has 100 card-carrying members and will be signing up more at watering holes in the cities hosting political events in the upcoming months -- including New York, Boston and Los Angeles.

Wilson says the AFBP will be announcing their presidential candidate next week in Boston, host city of the Democratic National Convention.

Although he won't divulge the name yet, Wilson says the candidate "embodies the idea of partying."
