As we all gather around our screens for what’s likely to be one of the most chaotic, drama-filled political showdowns of the year, why not make it more fun? Welcome to the Harris vs. Trump Debate Drinking Game—the only way to survive tonight’s verbal fireworks with your sanity (mostly) intact.

Grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and let’s turn this into a night we won’t soon forget. Here are the rules:

Take a sip when:

• Trump interrupts Harris mid-sentence.
• Harris smiles that killer, “I’m about to own this moment” smile.
• Trump mentions “fake news” or “witch hunt.”
• Harris talks about her “prosecutorial experience.”
• Either candidate mentions “the middle class.”
• The moderator loses control of the debate. (This could be dangerous. Pace yourself.)

Take a big gulp when:

• Trump pulls out a random fact that doesn’t seem to make any sense.
• Harris brings up women’s rights.
• Someone talks about the economy like it’s their personal scorecard.
• Trump says “tremendous” or “nobody’s ever seen anything like it.”
• Either candidate throws a subtle (or not-so-subtle) shade.

Finish your drink when:

• Trump gives a nickname to anyone on stage.
• Harris delivers a mic drop moment that leaves Trump momentarily speechless.
• The candidates talk over each other so much that no one has any idea what’s being said.
• There’s a viral meme-worthy moment in real time (you’ll know it when you see it).

Bonus Round
If you’re feeling brave, pick a candidate and take a drink every time they say their go-to phrase. Be warned: This could turn into a rapid-fire situation!

Let’s be real—tonight’s debate is guaranteed to be filled with eye rolls, face-palms, and probably more than a little laughter. So, why not turn it into a game? Just remember, stay hydrated (with water in between drinks!) and, most importantly, drink responsibly. Politics may make us crazy, but your liver shouldn’t have to suffer for it.

Let the games begin!
