Drinking Games

OK, here's my drinking game for tonight's Democratic debate (note: for "health reasons" I'm sticking to Apple Cider Vinegar for all drinks tonight).

Lunacy: Take a drink if anyone mentions:
  • "email server"
  • Benghazi
  • Donald Trump
  • Joe Biden
  • anything about building a wall
  • either Sheldon Adelson or Bibi Netanyahu
  • either "I'm not a Democrat" or "[opponent] isn't a Democrat"
  • "we need more debates"

Policy Buzzwords: Take two drinks if anyone mentions:
  • the Mexico City Policy
  • Houthis
  • AFL-CIO (one bonus drink for the first time any specific union is mentioned)
  • the F-35
  • anything about "stopping the NRA"
  • any country in Asia, excluding the Middle East, Russia, and China 
(note: I'm hopeful enough there will be something intelligent about the TPP that it doesn't get a drinking point on its own)
Candidate Specials: Finish your glass if:
  • Hillary Clinton makes a joke about being a robot.
  • Bernie Sanders says Hillary is wrong in response to anything she says during the debate.
  • Martin O'Malley says he has the best record of anyone on stage.
  • Lincoln Chafee or Jim Webb either drop out of the race on stage, or plug their book.
  • the moderators apologize for Joe Biden not being on stage

Mere Anarchy: Finish your glass, pour another glass, and finish that if:
  • Anyone mentions Ronald Reagan
  • Joe Biden actually shows up on stage, possibly as a hologram
  • A Donald Trump tweet from during the debate is mentioned
  • there's a question about "do you believe in God"
