‘The next meeting of the *new* Providence chapter of Drinking Liberally is TONIGHT, February 27th at 8pm at The Wild Colonial in Providence. Drinking Liberally is an informal, inclusive progressive social group that gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics over a beer.

Looking forward to seeing you there!’

I love liquor stores. What’s not to love, really? They are stores and they sell liquor; what more can you want? Cigarettes? They’ve got those too! Providence has an abundance of great liquor stores. It has been a personal goal to go to as many of them as I can. I’ve always got an eye out for a new one and I am not a liquor store snob. I like a dive sometimes more than your swank establishments.

I like everything about liquor stores except one thing, the lottery. The lines always bug me and I just don’t get it. You’re not gonna win! I also don’t get the term Package store. I know it’s some Rhode Island expression that I just don’t get but that’s a whole other story. As I said I am always on the look out for a new store, so if you know of any please let me know! more »
