The 2016 presidential debates promise to be something extra special.  The debates will be a battle royal between two heavy weights (metaphorically speaking)  for the political championship of the world. If you’ve paid any attention at all to the race so far, you may have heard some of the favorite words and phrases from each of the candidates. You may be sick of hearing them, so here’s a fun way to reward yourself for having to hear them again, and again, and again….

The rules are simple, every time during the debate one of the candidates says one of the designated words or phrases, you take a drink of your favorite adult beverage.  You must of course, be of legal drinking age to play, unless your favorite adult beverage is non-alcoholic, in that case…you’ll probably make yourself sick either way!

Take a sip anytime any candidate says one of the magic words or phrases:

• Disqualified
• Tremendous
• Unqualified
• Leading from behind
• Fair share
• Reckless
• What have you got to lose?
• Historic election
• For all the people
• Fat cats
• Unhinged
• Failed Policies

Expert level:

• Drink every time any candidate breaks out into a coughing fit.  (one drink per instance)
• Drink at any remark that gets booed. (counts for moderator remarks too)
• Drink every time the moderator “fact checks” a statement by one of the candidates.

Think you can last all the way through?  You might want to have a good supply of chips and pretzels on hand. Enjoy!
