If you are planning to watch the debate tonight, we have an important message for you. Please read carefully and share with others.
Avoid Drinking Games Based on the Former President’s Behavior
Many people enjoy playing drinking games while watching debates. However, we strongly advise against participating in any drinking games based on the behavior of the former president. These games can be dangerous and have ended in tragedy before.
Extreme Example: Drinking When He Lies
One extreme example is taking a drink whenever the former president tells a lie. This will almost certainly lead to acute alcohol poisoning. You might also miss the second half of the debate because of it.
Other Dangerous Drinking Game Triggers
Here are some other triggers to avoid:
- Insults: Do not take a drink every time he insults someone.
- Unrelated Statements: Do not take a drink whenever he makes a statement completely unrelated to the previous one or the topic at hand.
- Moderator’s Republican Talking Points: Do not take a drink whenever the moderators spew a Republican talking point or ask a question based on a fallacy.
Safer Alternatives
If you must engage in drinking games, try something a little safer. For instance, take a drink whenever the moderators fact-check the Republican nominee. This way, you can still have fun without risking your health.
Thank you for your attention. This has been a public service announcement.
