The day we have all been waiting for and probably dreading is drawing near. On Tuesday, November 8, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., citizens across the nation will cast their ballots. (And if you are one of those, "I am not voting, I don't like either candidate" people — get your head out of your ass and please perform your civic duty.) CNN will be holding 24-hour, cross-platform coverage beginning at midnight on Election Day. This may be one of the most controversial and toxic elections to date, so why not lighten the mood on election night and get drunk! Here are the rules for this year's election night drinking game:

1. Right after you cast your ballot, take a GIANT shot. It is finally over. It's done.

2. 8 p.m. Polls are closed. Take a shot.

3. Every time you hear a Trump buzzword, take a shot.

Including but not limited too: "China" (Ch pronounced like a G), "Tremendous," "Believe me," "Excuse me," "Huge" (H is silent), "Bigly" (or is it "Big league"?), "Locker-room Talk," "Braggadocious," "Emails," *sniff*.

4. Every time you hear a Clinton buzzword, take a shot.

Such as: "Middle Class," "Women," "Children," *cough*.

5. Every time Hillary's federal investigation regarding her private email server is talked about, DRINK.

6. Someone questions the validity of the electoral college? Take a swig.

7. Shotgun your beer when Trump refuses to concede.

8. Shot ski when voter percentages exceed 55-65 percent!

9. Every time a major state turns your preferred candidate's color, take a drink!

Blue = Democrat, red = republican... in case you are too drunk at this point to remember!

10. When the new POTUS is announced, cheers! Election night is finally over!

11. Uh oh! Trump accuses the election of being rigged because Nevada and/or Florida had a miscount. Take a tequila shot.

12. Sudden Death round: Gary Johnson is elected president. Drink until you're dead.

Please vote and drink responsibly and let's hope this election is less of a shit show than you will be on election night! God bless America.
