Well it’s that time again. Another debate. I don’t know about you, but I really only got through the Presidential debate by drinking my way through it. While I think this might be a bit tamer and easier to watch, I’m still going to be playing a game to make it more fun. Join me in this Vance vs. Walz debate drinking game!

How to Watch

The debate will be happening on Tuesday October 1st at 9:00 PM EST. It looks like it’ll be broadcast on CBS, but even CBS doesn’t have much information about it. So here’s the link from the Milwaukie Journal Sentinel with information that could be helpful. Check your local schedule to see what time it airs for you. Luckily for me it starts at 3:00 PM so I guess I’ll be doing some day drinking again. For any further information about where to watch

Vance vs. Walz Debate Drinking Game

Let’s dive into the rules of the game, but remember, it’s all in good fun. Please drink responsibly—if you find yourself needing to pace your drinking, feel free to take a break and hydrate with some water. My goal is for this to be enjoyable, engaging, and to give a fresh spin to politics. Have a great time!
