Drinking for America

By Annie Fischer

Published on December 08, 2005

Last October we told you about Drinking Liberally, a national organization whose local chapter meets Sundays at the Hurricane with the promise of a social gathering, not a political meeting. Since then, however, another DL meeting has cropped up -- a midweek version every Wednesday at Harling’s Upstairs. Well, every Wednesday except today, that is. Today the members scored an invitation to join forces with the folks from Democracy for America at Californos in Westport (4124 Pennsylvania, 816-531-7878). Check it out at 6 p.m. if you’re interested in chatting with either group; DFA’s meeting begins at 8.
Second and Third Wednesday of every month, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Fourth and Last Wednesday of every month, 6:30-8:30 p.m., 2008
