The 2024 election cycle has already been one for the record books. From President Biden’s decision to exit the race, to Donald Trump’s assassination attempt, Kamala Harris entering the race, JD Vance’s announcement as Trump’s running mate, followed by unsubstantiated claims of Vance having sex with couches, and finally Tim Walz’s announcement as Harris’ running mate, it’s been absolute DRAMA and it’s only September.
With election season heating up we felt it was only appropriate for us to bring back our quarterly 2024 Presidential Debate Drinking Game to help add a little levity in the midst of all of the divisiveness and political strife.
Take One Drink Anytime Trump Says…
- “Yuge” or “Tremendous”
- “Biggest” or “Greatest”
- “Fake News”
- “Rigged”
- “Excuse Me”
- Anything creepy about women
- Anything racist or xenophobic
- Mispronounces Kamala’s name
Take One Drink Anytime Kamala Says…
- “Joe Biden”
- “Coconut Tree”
- Refers to herself as the “Border Czar”
- Calls any Republicans “Weird”
- “January 6th”
- Starts laughing
Take One Drink Anytime the Moderators…
- Reminds the candidate to answer the question
- Mentions ABC
- David Muir cracks even a hit of a smile
- Refers to “battleground states”
- Makes the audience laugh
- Fact checks a candidate
Time to Get Interactive
- If either candidate thanks David Muir and Linsey Davis to start the debate… take one drink and thank everyone in the room that is also participating in tonight’s drinking game.
- If Trump is wearing a red tie, everyone drinks. If Kamala is wearing a blue dress or suit, everyone drinks.
- If either candidate is muted before the end of their statement yell TIME and take a drink.
- If either one of the candidates is NOT wearing a flag lapel pin, you must keep drinking while internally reciting the entire Pledge of Allegiance.
- If Trump says he’s the biggest, best, greatest, most incredible at something, call a random number in your phone and tell that person what you’re the greatest at, hang up, and then take a drink.
- If Kamala refers to Trump as a convicted felon or references his felonies, bust out your pair of handcuffs and lock up someone in your watch party until the answer is finished. They do not get to pass go, and they must take a drink.
- If Kamala speaks in any sort of regional accent, try your best not to do anything racist and just quietly sip on some beer.
- If Trump brings up building the wall or any other border control issues, stack some pillows and create a pillow wall to divide the room in half, but be sure to leave several gaps for accuracy. Then shoot some mezcal or tequila and charge your bill to Mexico… it won’t work, but still worth trying.
- If either Gaza or the Ukraine are brought up during the debate start chucking pillows at your fellow debate party viewers until they move on to a different topic, then steal their drinks.
- If either candidate says something incoherent or can’t finish their train of thought, throw something at the TV and take a drink.
- If Trump suddenly thinks he’s debating Biden, or brings up Joe Biden in an argument take a drink, then take another drink for Joe Biden… hasn’t the President gone through enough?
- If Trump says “China” and pronounces it “Jyna”, take a shot of baijiu or, at the very least drink, some Tiger Beer.
- If either candidate references Russia take a shot of vodka and yell “Na Zdorovie!”
- If either candidate mentions their tax plan or tariffs, pull up your bank account and take a drink of your finest champagne for every million dollars you have… oh you don’t? Well consider this a break and realize that most of their arguments likely don’t apply to you.
- If Trump says “socialism,” divvy up a bottle of liquor and pass out shots to everyone in the room.
- If either candidate mentions TikTok, demure, brat summer, or tries to relate to Gen Z, everyone in attendance must perform the viral CharlieXCX dance and then immediately finish their drinks to wipe away the shame of how old you all now feel.
More Drinks
- If there are any references to Pennsylvania or Philadelphia in particular, order up a Philly cheesesteak via your favorite delivery service, yell “GO BIRDS”, chug a Yuengling, and then proceed to harass anyone in your group who roots for any New York or Boston sports teams.
- If Hunter Biden is brought up, just slam your laptop to the ground and take a long swig from the bottle.
- If school shootings or mass shootings are brought up and no actual solutions are provided, take a long drink and consider donating to a non-profit of your choice aimed at ending gun violence.
- If Trump maintains that the 2020 election was stolen, that there was rampant voter fraud, or condones January 6th in any way, then tear up your copy of the American Constitution and finish everything in your liquor cabinet.
