After the successful launch of Drinking Liberally in Wellington, it was inevitable that it would come to Auckland. After all, who doesn’t like to sit around with lefties, drinking and talking ’bout politics?

What: Premiere of Drinking Liberally, Auckland
When: 7.30pm, Wednesday 2 July (and then the fourth Wednesday of every month)
Where: London Bar, Cnr Queen and Wellesley Streets
Speaker: David Slack - blogger/author/radio commentator/all-round-nice-guy, speaking on the subject of “New Zealand the way you want it?”

Still no word on whether the conservative equivalent, “National Drinking Problem”, will similarly come to Auckland.
