Need jargon suggestions for bingo & shot (mocktail!) games for high school club debate watch party

My youngest child, a high school senior, started a CA Young Democrats Club at her school this year. She is hosting a debate watch party at our house tomorrow night. Any suggestions regarding how to make it fun, festive and interesting for this age group would be appreciated. She wants to have blue mocktail shots and also bingo cards, so we need some terms they can "drink" to and that she can put on the bingo cards. (Like... "Medicare for All".) There are suggestions online, but we were trying to inject a little humor, too... plus some things more relevant for her age group...but we are feeling a bit uninspired at the moment. Any suggestions regarding this, or the party in general?

1. Drink a shot anytime one of the participants uses a logical fallacy

...and they have to name the fallacy (there's a generally accepted list).

Of course, at a Democratic debate, they won't get nearly as many drinks as at the general election debate, should there be one.

As to what to put in it, apple juice and 7-up mixed in equal parts has always been reliable.

Why encourage drinking?

I’m not a teetotaler, but somehow this seems wrong.

Do you think teenagers need to be encouraged to drink? I will wait for your reply.

If you were playing with real shots of Four Roses single barrel bourbon (jummmmi!), the whole YDC might not make it to the loo.

10. Scrap the shots

Oct 2019

For high school kids I would pick a different prompt or just stick with bingo. Binge drinking and the fallout that comes with it is a big problem, and the shot game makes it seem cool or fun. I hope this helps without sounding judgmental because that’s my intent 😊
