Debate drinking game suggestions please

I’m looking for suggestions for a fun drinking game to play while watching tonight’s debate.

Here’s the kicker: the game should be non-lethal. All my ideas have the potential for serious self injury.

The only challenge is Trump has difficulty speaking in complete sentences.

And if you simply drink every time he lies, you'll all have alcohol poisoning in the first 30 minutes.

...triggers for each word, in order, complete list, how many times repeated, etc.

Do the old hashmark thing for counting (four vertical lines, then one diagonal across them to count the fifth one).

Use that to keep track, and take a drink every tenth lie.

After four drinks, increase the threshold to 20.

And have snacks. Don't do this on an empty stomach.
