Drinking Game Ideas

First, here are some general ideas for the drinking game that aren’t related to specific candidates on stage.

  • Take sips if someone talks about Trump being acquitted in the impeachment trial, since that could be brought up a lot.
  • Take a shot if someone talks about Mitt Romney voting for Trump to be removed.
  • Take a sip if someone plugs their website.
  • Take a sip if it looks like someone’s mic is turned off.
  • 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.
  • Take a shot if anyone attempts to explain SDEs and delegates because that is very confusing.
  • Take a shot if someone talks about coronavirus because that is depressing. A drink is needed for that topic.
  • Take a sip if anyone says arguing is uncivil.
  • Take a sip if someone accuses another person of saying “Republican talking points.”

Now here are some ideas for specific candidates:

  • Take a shot if Sanders and Warren have another tense moment. Two shots if they don’t shake hands again.
  • Take a shot if Yang makes a joke specifically about MATH and the Iowa caucus.
  • Take a sip if Steyer tries to be Sanders’ best friend again.
  • Take a sip if Yang tries to give away money.
  • Take a sip if Yang’s wearing his MATH pin again (but just one sip.)
  • Take a sip if Sanders talks about the 1%.
  • 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 acts scared of Sanders’ hand again.
  • Take a sip if Biden gives the wrong website or phone number.
  • Take a sip if Buttigieg makes an awkward joke. Take another sip if it’s an awkward joke about his military service.
  • Take a shot if anyone asks Buttigieg about the Shadow company.
  • Take a sip if anyone says a joke that’s funny enough to actually make you laugh out loud and not just cringe a little.
  • Take a sip if Warren says “I have a plan.”
  • Take a sip if Warren talks about taking selfies.
  • Take a sip if someone talks about the Iowa caucus results or not believing them.
  • Take a shot if Buttigieg and Sanders get in a fight about who won the Iowa caucus.
  • Take a sip if Klobuchar talks about all the elections she’s won.
  • Take a sip if Steyer hugs anyone.
  • Take a shot if Klobuchar talks about her ex-boyfriends.
  • Take a sip if Steyer talks about his money or net worth and how it’s not a bad thing.
  • Take a sip if someone else gets mad about how much money Steyer has.
  • Take a sip if Yang doesn’t get a chance to speak in the first 10 minutes of the debate. Take a shot if he doesn’t speak in the first 20 minutes.
  • Take a sip if Biden is asked about Social Security. Take a shot if he and Sanders fight about Social Security.
