"An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher. Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics.

Bars are democratic spaces - you talk to strangers, you share booths, you feel the bond of common ground. Bring democratic discourse to your local democratic space - build democracy one drink at a time.

While drinking liberally, always remember to drink responsibly, and make liberal use of designated drivers. Drinking and driving is reckless and irresponsible, like a neocon war or corporatist tax cut. Liberals, don't do it."

Met one of the local AL hosts, Emma Fry, when I was working in Huntsville. Nice group of guys and gals...

Nashville has a meet-up every Thursday, 6:00 pm onward at
The Flying Saucer, 111 10th Ave S, hosted by Amie Loyer.

Because there's nothing to do in Huntsville but drink and ... nevermind....

I just worked in AL I was not a resident.

I've thought about this before- how the neocons all get their social support and confidence in the walls of churches, but secular liberals don't really have such an inbuilt, taxfree social meeting place to get that community structure.
