Your Debate Night Drinking Game

A coping strategy for making it through this election season without losing it.

Your Debate Night Drinking Game
Conservative Tribune

By this point, we're all aware that this year's presidential election season is both atypical and painful to observe. The American public is all but bombarded by Donald and Hillary's numerous scandals and controversies on a daily basis, and for many, political discussion has boiled down to an endless conversation about who's the lesser of the two evils. (For those of you who don't typically read my articles, fair warning: #I'mWithHer.)

So what can you do when you're disillusioned with the state of the race for the White House, the collective good judgment of the American people or the media coverage that has turned this into little more than a horse race? You don't want to avoid the media updates entirely, but the desperation you feel when seeing Trump go at it again just has to stop.

Enter the 2016 Presidential Debate Drinking Game. Inspired by this work of art, here's a quick list of the phrases and events that you know are going to come up on Sunday night.

Donald "That's Called Business, By The Way" Trump

- He mentions his taxes.

- He interrupts Hillary Clinton.

- He complains about the rigged system that just won't let him win.

- He's going to bring jobs back.

- He backtracks on something you know he's said before.

- He absolutely does not answer the damn question.

Hillary "Shimmy Your Way To The White House" Clinton

- She stares into the camera like she's on "The Office."

- She piggybacks on Obama's achievements.

- She's clearly appealing to some minority group.

- She cracks a joke that falls flat.

- She smiles condescendingly while Trump hurts himself.


You might be wondering why this list of drinking events is so short, but please keep in mind that many of these things may happen tens of times over the course of the 90-minute debate on Sunday night at 9 EST. (Drink responsibly, friends.)

One last note: since we obviously shouldn't condone underage drinking, I'll be eagerly watching C-SPAN in anticipation tomorrow, with little shot glasses and chocolate milk lined up. I highly encourage you to do the same.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
