You'll probably be bombed in the first 15 minutes ! I was surprised it didn't say...drink every time the name Reagan is brought up...

I'm to old to drink that much. Before listening to any politician, I do the following:

Take out a glass, a spoon, and a sugar cube, slowing pour the Absinthe over the sugar cube. Consume the drink. I find the "Green Fairy" makes them all more interesting.

This is bound to be a circus. Trump has lowered expectations by saying he does not debate, but he does negotiate. So that is a ploy.

Is he negotiating with the American people? Perhaps, the man just knows his limitations. Debating can be difficult, if your campaign is comprised of only sound bites and you have no facts to back them up.

I am sure that he has no idea how to do anything. He has tapped into right wing tea party hatred for his talkng points, but like all GOPers, they have no solutions to any problems.

I may buy a bag of M&Ms and have one rather than a sip.

Truth is that I understand that intelligent people say stupid things every day.
It just happens.
Today being the first Pub debate just made this too good to pass up.

That cracked me up. So many of them are saying dumb things.

Public health officials are urging Americans to exercise caution if they choose to participate in “drinking games” during the first Republican primary debate this Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio.

“You simply can’t drink every time one of these guys says something silly,” said Surgeon General Vivek Murthy during a Wednesday morning press conference. “We’ve got three candidates who are prone to gaffes — Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Scott Walker — and then a half-dozen obscure goofballs vying with Donald Trump for a little media attention. It’s just a formula for disaster.”

Murthy suggested that people play a safer variation of the traditional debate drinking game by only consuming alcohol when one of the candidates says something reasonable.

“We’re not saying that people shouldn’t have fun participating in the rotting vestiges of our once-great democracy,” he said. “Just do it responsibly. Instead of, say, shotgunning a beer when Ben Carson compares abortion to a planet-killing meteor wiping out humanity, consider taking a shot if Jeb Bush acknowledges that human activity is contributing to climate change,” he said. “And that drink might even have some therapeutic value when he goes on to argue that we shouldn’t do a damn thing about it.”

According to Dr. Lawrence Goldfarb, a toxicologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average man should consume no more than four units of alcohol per day and an average woman should consume no more than three. “So even if you only drank when someone made a dopey, half-baked Neville Chamberlain analogy, you’d still be ingesting potentially dangerous quantities,” said Goldfarb. A “unit” of alcohol equals around 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

First responders are preparing for a repeat of 2012, when emergency rooms were inundated with a surge of alcohol-related admissions. A study conducted by researchers at the Tufts University School of Medicine estimated that there were 70,000 additional hospitalizations, on average, following each of the 104 “clown car” debates during that election cycle. “That just counts alcohol poisoning and other drug overdoses,” explained Dr. Pritam Baruah, one of the authors of the study. “The numbers don’t include injuries from motor vehicle accidents or people’s misguided attempts to wash their brains out with bleach.”

“The data show that it’s not a clown car at all,” added Baruah. ” It’s a clown bus, and far too many smug liberals are being inadvertently thrown under its wheels by their self-satisfied friends on Twitter
