Drinking Game for the Presidential Debates
10Lets have some fun with this.
For those of you leaning left:
- Every time VP Biden says “Look” you take a drink.
- Every time VP Biden says “C’mon, man” it’s bottoms up.
For those of you leaning right:
- Every time President Trump uses the word Beautiful while describing someone or something you take a drink.
- Every time President Trump is seen lurking behind VP Biden you must chug your drink. (Multiple camera angles of the same lurk count as one.)
I would suggest you use beer so there might be a chance you’ll be awake for the whole debate. Although it might not be the alcohol that puts you to sleep.
The winner(s) are those still standing able to stand when the debate concludes.
We can discuss changing the drinking rules after the first debate.
Apolitical comments or suggestions are welcome. Personal attacks are not.

BTW: Drunk posts are more than welcome. I have the feeling we’ll need something to laugh at when this is all over.
I think they are going to have distancing and no handshakes, so doubt there’s going to be much chance for lurking behind
@kevinrs Good point. Maybe replace with him squinting his eyes and pursing his lips. I think he does that a lot?
@kevinrs @tinamarie1974 Too easy to be fall down drunk 15 minutes into it.
/giphy fall down drunk
Why not every time Trump says some type of “superlative” you take a drink. Guarantee there will be some tipsy people before 15 minutes are up.
Dems: When Biden references some personal event or story over 40 years ago (pre-1980s, aka pre-Reagan)
Repubs: When Trump says “people tell me” or “they say”, as if that makes it true or popular on its own.
@mike808 Let’s save this for the 2nd debate. Just in case the other ones are too frequent.
If Trump mentions China, drink. If Trump calls COVID the “China Flu”, its chugging time.
@mike808 How about if either one says “China” then drink. This would apply to both left and right. So rule #3L/R?
Might be time to crack open a bottle of Taco Bell’s Jalapeño Noir.
More info
@mike808 No, just no.
/giphy spit take
@mike808 Holy shit - does that really exist?!? Actually, don’t tell me. If it turns out that’s real, it’s going to further fuck up 2020 for me…
We can rewatch it I’m sure after we pass out. We should probably list the streaming options for those of us not having traditional tv service.
@unksol YouTube TV has it on the big three plus the major news channels. The DVR function will come in handy for rewatching it after passing out.
@unksol It looks like all the networks are covering it, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS. but you’ll need to use someone’s provider login. Another option for streaming the debates is subscribing to the 30-day free trial for YouTube TV, watch the debates and then cancel the subscription.
@Mehrocco_Mole @unksol if you have roku, you can watch it free on abc.
Or if alcohol is not your thing, drink coffee (no decaff allowed)
Winner is the one who falls asleep during the debate. (But after the first 30 minutes)
@Cerridwyn I don’t drink alcohol, migraines, and I don’t drink caffeine or I’d never sleep. So I guess I’ll just have to pass on all of the “fun”. But I won’t have a hangover either!
Ready to go?
Let’s do this!!
Also pic on my wooden coffee table for that guy who hates wood
@tinamarie1974 I though all guys like wood. Oh - you were talking about the table…
You want to get drunk? Just drink each time Trump interrupts. That will finish you off well before this debate ends. If you drink each time Biden interrupts you might still remain sober.
@Kidsandliz Actually any interruption might work. They’re both doing it. Dems are getting drunk on ‘look’. No C’mon mans yet that I heard. Haven’t heard ‘beautiful’ and they have to stay at their podiums so no lurking. Defiantly have to review the rules for the next one.
@Mehrocco_Mole Actually I pity the moderator since he is struggling to shut up Trump’s repeated interrupting when Biden speaks. This debate would be better if people would let the other finish.
@Kidsandliz @Mehrocco_Mole maybe a way to silence microphones and a live fact checker. This is a circus
@Mehrocco_Mole @tinamarie1974 I would agree on the microphones. They’d need dozens of fact checkers to keep up.
@Kidsandliz @Mehrocco_Mole it would b worth it to keep both sides honest.
Make it like a game show, you get caught making too many lies, you cannot have a rebuttal. That would be hella fun
@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974 How about Get Smart’s cone of silence? I’ve seen better organized cat fights. Both of them should be ashamed.
/giphy silence
@Kidsandliz @Mehrocco_Mole omg I JUST said that to someone. Bring in the cone of silence
@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974
Our age is showing!
Seriously, put them each in a soundproof box. They can hear everything but when it’s the other guys turn to talk your lights and mic are cut. At the two minute mark your lights and mic are cut automatically. The moderator would ask the next question or ask for the rebuttal and start the timer.
But neither one of them would agree to it. Neither one would relinquish that much control.
I wonder if their handlers will tell them the schoolyard bickering is making them look foolish. I wonder if either one will listen.
@Kidsandliz @Mehrocco_Mole @tinamarie1974
My exact thought. If they were my kids, I’d have grounded them both for a month. Even Chris started to get into it a few times. Maybe he would have missed dessert.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @Mehrocco_Mole @tinamarie1974
@callow @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @Mehrocco_Mole THIS. I love the shock collar. That addition would make me stop wishing Chris would get up and punch them in the throat!
I say they should drop all the pretense and go full WWE, Turkish-style:
Some suggestions I collected around the web:
(Most likes wins)
@Mehrocco_Mole I would drink the whole bottle if Trumps rug scurries away!
@tinamarie1974
I thought you’d like that one.
I think in part, Trump’s disruption and constant interruption may have been intentional, to keep control, and to mask the fact that he hardly answered anything or said anything of substance.
@kevinrs If you can’t dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.
@kevinrs I read somewhere that Trump interrupted something like 79 times and Biden 22.
