Drinking Liberally at Madeleine's Wine Bistro

Every oenophiles home away from home, Pasadena’s Madeleine’s Wine Bistro is usually the perfect place to unwind over a full glass of wine. But on Tuesdays, Madeleine's serves up full glasses of democracy at Drinking Liberally, an "informal, inclusive progressive social group" that's as serious about its "liberal" as it is about its "drinking."

Now a fun, casual forum for Democrats around the country to let their hair down and raises their glasses, Drinking Liberally had its humble beginnings in New York City back in 2003. Since then, dozens of chapters have sprung up in nearly every major city in America, from Portland, Ore. to Hunstville, Ala.

And if you can't make it out, please remember to drink—er, we mean vote—liberally on Election Day.
