Post Haste: Welcome the return of the GOP presidential debate drinking game; Start thinking about Halloween parking

The GOP debate is tonight.

Good morning. Here's what you need to know for Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015:

Tonight is the third GOP debate so, in order to uphold our duty to readers attending Playboy’s No. 1 party school, we've been hard at work creating a drinking game for you to follow along with.

If you're a regular Post Haste reader, you might remember the drinking game we put together earlier this month for the Democratic debate. Similar rules apply here.

  • Neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio have both made strides in the polls, meaning they are likely to be major targets during the debate. If any candidate launches a subtle (or not-so-subtle) attack on either, take a drink.

  • If Kasich mentions being the son of a mailman, medicaid expansion, or taking Ohio "from an $8 billion hole to a $2 billion surplus," drink.

  • Any time former Gov. Jeb Bush refers to himself as "Veto" Corleone, drink.

  • If a candidate awkwardly high-fives, fist-bumps, sidearm hugs, or shakes hands with another candidate in the middle of the debate, drink.

  • Every time Sen. Ted Cruz stares directly into the camera, drink.

  • Every time Rubio dabs sweat from his forehead or makes a water bottle joke, drink.
