It's an American ritual that happens every 4 years. It's even more exciting when there is no incumbent president and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Worst of all, the decision is up to your fellow Americans (the ones who show up anyways). Brace yourselves and have a party because we're all screwed! The game card is below with a list of Buzzwords. Copy and paste it on to a sheet of paper, pass those pages out and laugh away. If you are having company, suggested items are also listed that can make a party more fun.
Laugh, cry, and have a get together because it maybe the end of days. If you are drinking alcohol, always drink responsibly. I am not responsible for alcohol poisoning, diabetes, or any other condition that you may develop, especially if this is a high scoring game. With the candidates, let's be honest, who really knows what's going to come out of either of their mouths. So know your limits and have fun. Most important, remember to laugh and laugh with your friends on this one.

The 2016 Presidential Debate Drinking Game How To Play:
Here are the drinking buzz words for each.
First, have your friends choose a side: Trump or Clinton (If Gary Johnson gets enough support I'll add him in). It can be for who you are supporting or who you just can't stand!
Every time the candidate says the buzz words on your sides list, have a sip! (This might be a high scoring game, I would like you to survive this game)
Copy and paste this alphabetized list of "buzz"words to drink to onto a word document, make copies for everyone and have lots of drinks ready! Too many buzzwords? Circle the ones you can keep track of!

Well, if you played my game you might not have survived past the first question. I wish we could legally do the betting thing in the states the way you guys do. Next debate is Sunday.
