What's everyone drinking for tonight's debate?

I'm not going through this thing without some booze. I'm thinking red wine. I was gonna go with scotch, but I'm afraid hard alcohol and debate watching would result in a big headache tomorrow.

But a good year to start on anti-anxiety meds. I'll be popping those like Skittles even though I'll be reading about the debate here as I'd have to move onto gorilla tranquilizers in order to actually watch this sh*t show.

I bought a 12-pack just for tonight. I'll be blotto tomorrow, but that's okay; I need the beer to get me through the debate.

And, no drinking challenges (a sip every time Trump sniffles, says "bigly" etc etc) I don't want to get sick!

I'll be drinking ice tea with my coconut shrimp and a sautee of mustard greens, green onion, tomato, and zucchini in a red wine sauce. I'll keep the red wine handy in case I need to guzzle it straight from the bottle by the end of the evening!
