Biden-Trump face off in first 2024 Presidential debate

Drink when your bingo number is called.

Debate foul, party foul

Take a sip if a speaker goes over time. Take a shot if they shout over muted mics, or walk off stage. Finish your drink if either leaves their podium.

Line by Line, Sip by Sip

Choose a political cliché like "my fellow Americans." Take a sip every time it's said. First one to finish their drink wins.
