Drinking Liberally

This ought to start an interesting thread:

The name of the group, which now boasts 230 chapters in 46 states (including one Dakota!), pretty much sums up the concept. People get together and talk politics over a couple pitchers, or most any other beverages.

“If you’re a hard-line, Kool-Aid-drinking Bush supporter, I’m sorry, you’re not gonna like it,” he said.

The Republican equivalent, Drinking Right, hasn’t made it to Lincoln yet. But if you’re somewhere in that middle-to-left range, McFarland said, this will be a good environment to talk.

Alcohol can be a good thing (i enjoy it from time to time) but incorporating one of the two faux pas of good conversation is typically not...even when it is with people of similar view points :)  I keep my religion in church, my politics to a voting booth, and only my beer in a bar! :;):

We already do this every Monday.  After our UNO Democrats meeting, we always meet at Clancy's and have food and drinks.  The talk is usually less politics and more average social interaction, but its still similar.
