Drinking Liberally

Tonight, America’s fate for the next four years will be decided. You could sit angst-ridden at home, hunched in front of CNN, holding your breath till every ballot is counted, or you could pass the hours of this historic evening at Jose Pistola’s commiserating with the Liberal Drinkers. It’s too early to tell whether you’ll be slamming back victory shots of whiskey or drowning your sorrows with pitchers of Allagash White, but this weekly gathering will be a good place to discuss the events as they unfold. Former PW columnist Brendan Skwire, a regular to the gathering since 2004, says, “Beer decimates political boundaries; American democracy was built on it. On September 15th, 1787, 54 delegates of the Constitutional Convention trotted down to City Tavern and knocked back 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret and 12 bottles of beer; two days later, they signed and ratified the Constitution.” Sounds like a plan. -Jessica Foley
