At first I thought the title, “Drinking Liberally – Christchurch”, was a statement. Sure is a true one, don’t see people doing much else around here.
I was wondering why the bottle looked so red white and blue, then I realised it is US initiated group. I think the local version should be called “drinking radically” and have a brown bottle.
