What You’ll Need
- Your favorite drinks (beer, cider, cocktails, or mocktails—no judgment here)
- A TV or device streaming election coverage
- Cups and shot glasses
- Printed or digital list of rules
- Optional: red, blue, or themed party decorations

Setting Up for the Election Day Drinking Game
Invite your friends over (or connect virtually), set up the space with snacks and drinks, and pick your party drinking games playlist. This election day drinking game works perfectly for house parties, dorm room hangouts, or even a wedding after-party if you really want to get wild.
How to Play
Each player picks a candidate or party to support (bonus points for themed outfits). Whenever the news coverage hits one of the triggers below, it’s time to drink. The game is flexible—use your own rules or try out the custom drinking game builder at Drinking Dojo to add some meme magic or NSFW dares.
Basic Rules
Take a sip or a shot when:
- A news anchor says “too close to call”
- A state or region is declared for a candidate
- Someone on-screen says “historic turnout”
- The vote count ticker updates dramatically
- A candidate tweets something meme-worthy (cue the meme drinking games)
- An election map changes color
Finish your drink if:
- Your candidate wins (or loses, if you’re feeling spicy)
- There’s a recount announced
- Someone mentions “hanging chads” (throwback alert)
- A celebrity makes a surprise appearance on coverage
Dare Challenges
Want to up the ante? Add dare challenges for extra chaos:
- Post a funny meme in your group chat every time you drink
- Do your best impression of a politician on the next drink
- Share a wild election prediction—if you’re wrong by the end of the night, finish your drink
Optional: NSFW Dares
For a more adult twist, throw in some NSFW dares (consent is key!). Try “Text your ex who they voted for” or “Share your spiciest political meme.”
Game Variations
- Couples drinking games: Pair up and double dare each other when your party’s candidate makes a surprise comeback.
- House party ideas: Turn your living room into a “polling station” with themed zones and meme drinking games at every corner.
