The 1st Republican Debate Drinking Game [1]

With only five days left until the first Republican debate, an event which should be the year’s greatest circus act yet, I think it’s time for a little bit of fun. A drinking game!
The Rules :
Setup :
Get either - a single bottle of wine OR a six pack of beer. This will be your maximum amount of liquor. The idea is not to die… (please don’t use shots of vodka - leave that to Ron DeSantis’ post-debate trauma)
Turn on the debate, and gird yourself.
If one of the following happens, take a (small) sip of your drink :
The moderator asks the candidates if Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election. Take a second sip if this is the 1st question of the debate.
A candidate uses the words “two-tiered justice system.”
Someone uses Ron DeSantis’s last name to create a punchline (i.e. “Ron DeSanctimonious” or “Ron DiSaster.”
Someone says the word “woke” [only do this a maximum of 7 times].
A candidate mentions a “three-letter enemy,” including FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, CRT (Critical Race Theory), ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance), DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), CDC, EPA, DHS, ATF, CNN, NIH, DOE, or DOJ. [only once per three-letter word, and only counts if they say the acronym, not the whole thing]
A candidate complains about boys wanting to become girls, or vise versa
A candidate claims that there are 87,000 new armed IRS agents patrolling the country
A candidate (likely to be Ron DeSantis) says he or she will eliminate these three agencies of government [it must be these three]: Commerce, Education, and Energy.
Nikki Haley alludes to the idea that Joe Biden will die in his second term, and therefore, Republicans are really running against Kamala Harris. [only do this once]
A candidate is asked whether they would sign a national abortion ban, and refuses to actually answer the question.
A candidate is insulted for his/her poll numbers by someone talking about how far away they are from the center of the stage.
A candidate says “Biden crime family.”
One candidate attacks another candidate (not counting DeSantis/Christie) because that candidate attacked Donald Trump [only do this once]
A candidate openly supports the impeachment of Joe Biden [only do this once]
Vivek Ramaswamy is directly or indirectly insulted for being a Hindu [only do this once]
The first candidate attacked by Ron DeSantis is Vivek Ramaswamy or Chris Christie
A candidate says “Right here in Wisconsin”
A candidate uses the words, “Hillary Clinton [or, “the Clintons”], “George Soros,” “deep state,” “cabal,” or “groomers” in a sentence. BONUS: Chug half of your remaining drink if they manage to use two or more of those phrases in one sentence.
A candidate gives a shout-out to Elon Musk. [only do this once]
Finish your drink if :
During the debate, Fox News cuts to a split-screen of Trump being arraigned in Georgia or a Trump event related to it [only do this once]
Ron DeSantis uses any of the prepared remarks from his leaked campaign debate prep memo, including [this entire section should only be done once]: Claiming that Chris Christie is auditioning for a show on MSNBC DeSantis attacks Ramaswamy by calling him an unflattering nickname He attacks Joe Biden and the media in exactly 3, 4, or 5 separate remarks (keep track of this). He uses a sweet-sounding story about him and his wife, Casey.
A candidate says they will eliminate certain agencies of the government, but forgets at least one of them. [only do this once]
Finish the WHOLE WINE BOTTLE/SIX PACK (no refills, you monster) if :
During the debate (not before the first candidate walks on stage, and not directly after the closing statements), Trump’s mug shot from Fulton County is released to the public for the very first time, and is shown on-screen during the debate.
[Please do not drink yourself or anyone else to death (hence my established limit). Another way of doing this could have just been a BINGO card, but that required too much effort, and I didn’t really want to give a Republican debate so much personal attention, as it does not deserve it]
