The bar is officially open.
Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are squaring off on the debate stage Tuesday, and The Post wants you to liven the night up with our official drinking game.
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or independent — and whether you support beer, wine or liquor — grab your preferred beverage and a copy of the rules and tune in at 9 p.m. ET, when the two major party nominees take the stage.
Play for money, play for bragging rights, or just play for fun. And don’t worry, we’ll make sure you keep hydrated.
But first! Prepare yourself with The Post’s guide to what to expect; and take a look back at what happened when Trump debated President Biden on June 27.
Good luck!
First, let’s keep you hydrated. Take a sip of water …
… every time a candidate references the election being “the most important of our lifetime”.
Take a sip of your drink…
… whenever the camera pans to moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis
… every time Trump says “cackling Kamala“
… every time Harris references Trump’s “hush money” conviction
… when a candidate uses a 3-letter acronym (think FBI, IRS, DEI, CDC)
… when Trump brings up “migrant crime”
Take a shot …
… when one candidate interrupts another
… if a candidate wags their finger at another candidate while making a point
… if Trump uses the phrase “border czar”
… if Harris insists she wasn’t the “border czar”
… when either promises not to touch entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare
… every time the words “Russia” “China” or “Iran” is mentioned
Take two shots …
… when Harris references “Project 2025“
… when Trump mentions “San Francisco” or “California”
… if Trump says Harris covered up Biden’s decline
… if Harris notes she’s endorsed by Dick Cheney
Chug your beer
… if Trump says he knows more about football than Tim Walz
…if Harris tells Trump “I’m speaking”
… if Trump accuses Harris-Biden administration of being pro-Hamas
… if Harris can explain the war in Ukraine without stuttering
Finish all the liquor in your cabinet …
… if Trump and Harris actually agree on something
