Good comedy if you're interested in watching the Democratic debates.
Most importantly, never drink alone!

“…AND IN CLOSING, I SAY [SOMETHING IN SPANISH].” Self-explanatory. Drink.
SIDE-RULES:
Drink if:
ANY CANDIDATE laughs at something Rachel Maddow says that isn’t actually funny.
BIDEN starts a sentence saying, Look…, uses the word bareknuckle, or mentions working with Barack (or any variation thereof, e.g. when Barack and I…).
BIDEN tries to tell a story about reaching across the aisle and makes a dumpster fire out of it.
HARRIS or any other candidate lays into BIDEN for said attempt. Automatic drink if the word apology reaches the air.
SANDERS mentions greed or does a Bern point. Double shot if he points at a fellow debater.
WARREN says she’s got a plan for anything.
INSLEE answers a question, any question, without eventually mentioning climate change.
GABBARD says Aloha, or mentions a disastrous American war or regime change plan. Take a second shot if by the end of the debate no other candidate has mentioned those same wars.
DELANEY says something bitchy about how Medicare-for-All sucks.
HICKENLOOPER uses the word heaving, as in, “it feels like we’re in a heaving crisis.” Double shot if he gives Sanders a hard time for being a socialist, and — be your own judge here — triple shot if he compares Sanders to Stalin.
RYAN tells the audience, I love you or goes out of his way to remind you he played quarterback in high school.
SWALWELL mentions growing up in Scrublin, i.e. Dublin, California, which is so hardscrabble and middle-class that it earned that nickname apparently. Double shot if he mentions gym towels.
WILLIAMSON, GABBARD, or YANG has to interrupt someone else’s time to get a word in.
Double shot if you find yourself thinking, It’s because these candidates can’t win that they make so much sense.
Stay safe. Drink with a spotter. Try to have a bite of bread between shots.
