While Patch doesn't suggest you actually drink while playing this game, we think it might be funny to tally up how many times Mitt Romney or Barack Obama actually do the things on the list. If you want to drink—that's your choice.

This isn't the only debate game out there, either. 

DebateDrinking.com and College Humor both have a list of key words to listen for and drink to. Philadelphia Magazine also has its own list. Know of another game? Tell us about it in the comments.

If you watch the debate tonight, feel free to chime in while Patch covers the event with live blogging, or tell us what words and phrases you hear the most in the comments below.
