If you are anything like me, you know that the final debate is going to be as intense as the last two were. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will face off one last time at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas as they make the final push towards Election Day. If the previous two presidential debates were any indication, the final debate should be even more riveting, dramatic and, dare I say, loony.
Want to know how to watch the debate and endure all the agony that goes on? Turn it into a drinking game! Here are the rules:
Take a drink if/when:
1) Trump sniffles when he speaks.
2) Clinton shimmies.
3) Trump and Clinton argue about whether Trump supported the Iraq War or not
4) Clinton brings up Trump's tax returns
5) Trump brings up Clinton's emails
6) Trump says "Huge" or "Bigly"

4) You realized you've changed political parties during the debate
5) You have to use the bathroom, but you can't because there are no commercials during the debate
On and all, when you think you’re hearing the same things over and over again, drink some water and go to sleep.
When all is said and done, remember to take public transportation home.
Good Luck!
