First presidential debate 2016 drinking game: Here are the rules and keywords to wait for

Impact

Another long week has begun. Fatigue has already set in. And because it's Monday, you don't yet want to drain your energy reserves with a trip to the bar. But wait, this is no average start of the week. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will spar on millions of TV screens across the country. And because the first presidential debate will likely involve yelling, lying and a healthy dose of vitriol, you may need an adult beverage. 

Here at Mic, we've got you covered. We have created a presidential debate drinking game to help you stay strong through the 90-minute match between the Democratic and Republican nominees. 

(Mic recommends players stick to beer or wine. Mic strongly encourages you play this game only if you will not be driving and are of legal drinking age.)

The rules

Grab a six-pack or bottle of wine. Past drinking games with Trump and Clinton have drained both. 

First, players must choose a candidate: Clinton or Trump. Then, players must drink if their candidate says a certain word during the debate or if a candidate makes a certain statement. And make sure to watch debate moderator Lester Holt's actions too because he's included.
