Drinking Game Ideas

First, here are some general ideas for the drinking game that aren’t related to specific candidates on stage.
- Just take sips if someone says “Trump” or “impeachment.” These are going to be mentioned a lot tonight.
- Take a sip if someone plugs their website.
- Take a shot if someone talks in Spanish. With both Beto O’Rourke and Julian Castro gone tonight, it’s less likely to happen, so it’s deserving of a shot rather than a sip.
- Take a sip if it looks like someone’s mic is turned off. Take a shot if Andrew Yang’s mic is turned off, because that happened the last time he was in an MSNBC debate.
- Take a sip if someone talks about Hillary Clinton.
- Take a sip if anyone talks about Obama. Take a shot if two candidates get into a fight about who Obama would like better.
- Take a sip if someone heckles the debate. Take a shot if the heckler makes the speaker stop talking.
Now here are some ideas for specific candidates:
- Take a sip if anyone talks about Bernie’s heart attack.
- Take a sip if Sanders talks about a “radical” idea (and uses the word “radical.”)
- Take a shot if Andrew Yang tries to give away money again.
- Take a shot if Tulsi Gabbard calls the debate hosts “despicable” again.
- Take a sip if Gabbard is wearing white again.
- Take a sip if Biden steps away from his podium and leans close to another candidate. Take a shot if he actually touches another candidate.
- Take a sip if Biden gives the wrong website or phone number. If he talks about record players again, take a shot.
- Take a sip if Harris talks about being a prosecutor and being proud of her record.
- Take a shot if Harris seems too happy and looks like she had a shot before the debate.
- Take a shot if Cory Booker makes another marijuana joke like he does in most debates.
- Take a sip if Booker talks about being vegan.
- Take a sip if Booker makes an awkward joke.
- Take a shot if Buttigieg talks about Mike Pence.
- Take a sip if Buttigieg says a joke that’s funny and makes you literally laugh out loud.
- Take a sip if someone talks about Buttigieg rising in the polls.
- Take a sip if Warren says “I have a plan.”
- Take a sip if Warren talks about her rise in the polls.
- Take a sip if someone takes a shot at Warren’s decision to hold off on Medicare for All until she’s in office for three years.
- Take a sip if Warren and Sanders hug.
- Take a shot the first time Warren or Sanders say anything negative about the other, because that is really are.
- Take a sip if Klobuchar talks about fundraising.
- Take a sip if Steyer talks about his money or net worth.
- Take a sip if someone else gets mad about how much money Steyer has.
