3 Ways To Make The 3rd Presidential Debate Enjoyable

The third debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be Wednesday night at 9 p.m. EST. If you’re planning to watch, we apologize in advance for your misery. Here are some tips to make it a little more bearable. 

For more on the third debate and what to expect, read our preview. 

1. Drink

Nothing makes debate-watching (or most events, for that matter) more fun than playing a drinking game.

Here are the rules:

• As soon as Donald Trump starts talking about how the election is “rigged,” start drinking and don’t stop until he’s done. Sorry. 
• Every time Chris Wallace fact-checks a candidate, drink.
• Take a shot if Donald Trump brings up Bill Clinton’s infidelity. 
• If Chris Wallace asks about climate change or criminal justice reform, take a celebratory shot!
• Every time the Wikileaks hack of John Podesta’s emails comes up, drink.
• Drink when you hear “Russia,” “Syria,” “Iraq,” “Libya,” “Mexico,” or “China.”
• If Trump tries to deny saying something he definitely said, finish your drink.
• If Clinton has a new dance move, finish your drink.
• When the debate is over, finish your drink. It’s going to be a long three weeks until election day.

2. Use Snapchat Filters to Make the Candidates Look Ridiculous

3. Don’t Watch It

We’ll save you the anguish and discomfort that will come from watching a verbose “billionaire” stalk a possibly-corrupt career politician around a stage for 90 minutes. You don’t need a night of lying, interruptions and whining about a rigged election that is not actually rigged. We’ll recap it all for you on Thursday morning anyway.
