Second Presidential Debate Drinking Game

The second debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET—and what better time to sit back, pour yourself a drink and celebrate the end of the weekend and perhaps the end of American democracy.

For more on the second debate, read our preview

Put your pundit hat on and try to predict what will happen during the debate.

If you’re one of the 87 million people who tuned in for the first Clinton-Trump debate, you know it can be cringe-worthy at times. We’re here to make it a little bit more fun.

The Rules

  • Buzzwords: drink every time you hear one of the following words or phrases: tremendous, millennial, Russia, Wall Street, big league, Obama.
  • Every time one of the moderators fact-checks a candidate, drink.
  • If Hillary Clinton has another Alicia Machado-esque anecdote prepared, finish your drink.
  • If Clinton and Trump get into a water fight or if one of them dabs, go to the local liquor store and stock up, it’s going to be a rough four years.
  • Take a shot if Donald Trump brings up Bill Clinton’s infidelity.
  • If either candidate brings up Hurricane Matthew, drink.
  • If Trump tries to deny saying something he definitely said, finish your drink.
  • If Clinton has a new dance move, finish your drink.
  • When the debate is over, finish your drink. We’ve still got over four weeks left before election day.

If you’re looking for a wine that will pair perfectly with poll-tested one-liners, side eye and outright lies? Try a selection from our friends at Winc. You can get 4 bottles for only $30.
