Disaster"
Public health officials are urging Americans to exercise caution if they choose to participate in drinking games during the first Republican primary debate this Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio.
You simply cant drink every time one of these guys says something silly, said Surgeon General Vivek Murthy during a Wednesday morning press conference. Weve got three candidates who are prone to gaffes Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Scott Walker and then a half-dozen obscure goofballs vying with Donald Trump for a little media attention. Its just a formula for disaster.

Murthy suggested that people play a safer variation of the traditional debate drinking game by only consuming alcohol when one of the candidates says something reasonable.
Were not saying that people shouldnt have fun participating in the rotting vestiges of our once-great democracy, he said. Just do it responsibly. Instead of, say, shotgunning a beer when Ben Carson compares abortion to a planet-killing meteor wiping out humanity, consider taking a shot if Jeb Bush acknowledges that human activity is contributing to climate change, he said. And that drink might even have some therapeutic value when he goes on to argue that we shouldnt do a damn thing about it.
