Mods, feel free to move this wherever it seems appropriate. I have to say I’m having trouble coming up with anything that won’t result in acute alcohol poisoning or painful sobriety. Suggestions anyone? ---

A moderate sip from a glass of beer every time a respondent’s answer time runs out should keep the alcohol intake to a manageable level. It won’t feel much like a game, though. But games are what we make them! ---

I’ll take a shot everytime Trump announces an actual policy or issues with details instead of attacking the Biden’s. Not just we are going to improve healthcare or build a wall type shit. Also a shot everytime he mentions the support he is recieving from his wife. ---

Anyone ever participated in a Power Hour? The idea is you drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour. EasyPeasy. The total volume consumed is no big deal, but the way you consume it leads to a rapid rise in blood alcohol. I haven’t tried it in decades, but would have fond memories of it iff only I could remember.

Not really in the spirit of a debate drinking game though. ---

I figure the debate will last an hour and my only concern is being drunk. ---

Take a drink every time Biden mentions Trump’s felony conviction or any of the civil cases he has lost. ---

There won’t be any debate. Trump will find a reason to cancel. ---

The only way to make this work is to make it a negative drinking game. Take a drink every time something expected doesn’t happen. Take a drink every time a moderator does not say, “Your time has expired.” Take a drink if Trump answers a simple yes or no question with a simple yes or no. Take a drink if Biden does not mention his working class background in Scranton. Who’s next? ---

Drink if Biden does not mention the felonies. Drink is Trump says something that makes a lot of sense. ---

> [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > Take a drink if Trump answers a simple yes or no question with a simple yes or no. Take a drink if Trump answers any question. That works for most politicians; a question is just an opportunity to talk about whatever they already wanted to, whether it’s related to the question of not. Trump raises that to an art form. ---

not sure if I’m hoping for him to cancel or not. I really hope there is a debate and rump talks really, really stupid. but on the other hand, that hasn’t helped before. ---
