The Democratic presidential debate drinking game you didn’t know you needed

Jul. 31--The second round of Democratic presidential debates has arrived, and we know how to make them a little more interesting.

The field of 2020 hopefuls is so large that the event was split, with 20 qualifying candidates debating over two days. The 10 candidates who weren't on stage Tuesday night are set to square off Wednesday.

The debate, taking place in Detroit, will air from 8 to 10 p.m. on CNN and CNN en Español. It also will stream online via multiple digital and social platforms, including CNN.com and the network's mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Whether you're hosting friends or hanging at a bar, have some fun with this debate drinking game.
