Election years are always entertaining. With 14 candidates this year, it’s been a whirlwind of .gifs and Facebook buzzwords. Since we know you’re watching the presidential debates, we made this bipartisan drinking game to last you into November. You’ll need a glass of wine, a beer, or a mixed drink, and a bottle of your favorite hard liquor.
Now it’s time to begin watching, good luck!
Take a sip if:
- A candidate says, “Can I reply to that?”
