The Voting Period
For the last couple of years voting has started when the programme but despite this there will be still be an awkward 20 - 30 minutes to give everyone a chance to vote and for those votes to be tallied. This period will be filled with recaps of each song followed by an elaborate stage show to keep the viewers "entertained" and is a perfect time for toilet breaks, pizza ordering or more drinking. If you choose the latter, here are a couple of suggest rules for you: Recap of (one of) your countries - Drink! Graham Norton reminds us we can't vote for the UK - Shots for everyone! Keep in mind that the presenter will re-appear during this part of the show... so there will be plenty of drinking opportunities outside of any specific rules you create for this part of the show.
