Our Official Drinking Game for the First Presidential Debate With Your Suggestions
Oh boy, this debate is going to be… something. No matter how much of a chaotic nightmare tonight may turn out to be (there’s a 95-percent chance it will), there’s always something fun to get out of an event that America views together!
A trend that’s emerged in recent elections is assembling rules for a drinking game whenever there’s some big, televised political event. Already, many sites have published their drinking games for tonight’s debate with their own sets of rules. A dilemma I’ve come across is that there are too many rules that different people have come up with—which rules make for the best drinking game?!
Sara A. Carter asked you all on Twitter for some of your own drinking-game suggestions. So, I’ve compiled some of your best suggestions and some of the better rules across the internet that people have come up with to save all of you the time and effort in selecting your perfect drinking game.
I’ve organized this list into what to take a shot for, what to take a sip of any other drink for, and what to chug your drink for. Feel free to choose whichever of these rules you and your friends want to follow!
As a reminder, please drink only if you are of the legal drinking age and do so responsibly!
And with all that being said, let’s get into the debate spirit! (You see what I did there?)
Take a sip whenever…
- A candidate speaks past their time limit
- Either candidate loses their place mid-sentence and completely changes direction
- Trump says: “Radical Left”
- Biden starts a sentence with: “look…”
- Trump says: “Jina” (China)
- Biden says: “Uuuuhhhh…”
Take a shot whenever…
- Biden says: “C’mon, man!”
- Trump says: “Fake news”
- Biden says: “folks”
- Trump says: “WRONG” (pronounced as “rawng”)
- Biden says: “Y’know, the thing…”
- Moderator Chris Wallace has to interrupt one of the candidates
- Trump mentions Hunter Biden
- BONUS: Two shots when Trump says: “China Virus”
Chug your drink whenever…
- A candidate spars with Chris Wallace
- The candidates get into a yelling match
- The crowd erupts into a deafening noise
I hope you have fun with these suggestions!
No matter who you plan to vote for, the presidential debates serve as a common experience that millions of Americans share together every four years. Amidst the most divisive election that we have seen in ages (certainly in my 23 years on this planet), it’s events like these and the traditions we’ve created to go along with them that prove we can find even the slightest bit of unity in the most contentious of places.
The debate will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, and is scheduled to air from 9 to 10:30 pm (Eastern Standard Time).

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"
Biden: "My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” pic.twitter.com/3R3W3I8e9Z
