need ideas for a debate drinking game.....

The last two weeks have given us the conventions for both parties, or as I call it, the political all star break, and I think my liver may now glow in the dark.
Fun is fun.
But now it's time to get serious. The rules have changed, and we must adapt with them.

During the the last 12 months, we have seen many debates, with angry devolving asininity on one side, and lucid proactive rationality on the other. Since I don't wish to hurt feelings, I won't name names. The predictability of those debates on both side made it easy to write drinking game rules for both.

Soon, the immovable object will be met by the irresistible force, and I can't begin to guess what that will look like.

So please add any ideas for debate drinking game rules here, no matter how crazy or impractical they may seem.

Thank you all.

Any drinking game played with rules about Trump saying something insipid is unfortunately too likely to result in acute liver toxicity and then you wouldn't be able to vote in November on account of death, and that would be bad. My game ensures maximum likelihood of survival.
