Did you look at your calendar lately? It's October. That means the 2012 Presidential election is just a short five weeks away. Tonight kicks off the very first Presidential debate at the University of Denver in Colorado. Some good, old fashion American debatin'' gets underway at 9:00 PM EST, so plan on grabbing a case of your favorite adult beverage and posting up by the TV for six 15-minute segments of domestic policy discussion. And buzzwords. Lots and lots of buzzwords. Jim Lehrer's hosting (he's the host of the best and most unbiased news program on TV, PBS NewsHour, but you probably don't watch it). Expect a blockbuster evening that "could change everything," despite the fact that most Americans have long ago made up their minds.

Just because politics can be boring as hell doesn't mean we can't have a boozin' good ole time this evening. Without further adieu, presenting our official Presidential Debate drinking game. 

Go LIKE BroBible on Facebook for more kickass drinking games. For another debate drinking game to play this evening, head on over to Ranker. And play at your own risk. I wish it didn't need to be said, but please don't take this game seriously. At all.
