Your official election night drinking game: Clinton vs. Trump, the finale!

Latest

Well, the 2016 campaign has lasted approximately 6,859 days, but Election Night has finally arrived!

As you watch the results roll in on Tuesday night, I would suggest a cold beverage or eight to help calm your nerves and dull the pain of watching Wolf Blitzer vamp for seven hours.

Without further ado, here’s an election night drinking game designed to power you through the longest night of this year with a pleasant, escalating buzz:

Take a sip every time you hear the following word or phrase:

  • Battleground
  • Exit poll
  • Turnout
  • “Too close to call”
  • “2000 all over again”

  • Lamestream
  • Globalists
  • International financiers
  • Mazel Tov Cocktail
  • Breitbart.com

  • Vladimir Putin
  • Ted Cruz’s dad
  • Nigel Farage
  • Don King

Take a gulp every time…
