does anyone have a debate drinking game that isn’t designed for the first debate? I have seen a few that were like that but this one is about domestic policy not security. Howerver, I wouldn’t put it past GWB to mention terra or JFK to mention the V word, but I still want some good ones.

I’m a high-school debate coach, so I have to drink heavily just to watch these mooks attempt to “debate” at all.

Take a sip every time someone lies. Pass out in 3 minutes. 😃
