No cover charge, a Monday night, three bands you&#8217;ve hardly heard of, and the room is packed wall to wall, winter coats bulging, shaggy beards sprawling. Only a few stools at the back of the bar, where one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people I know save barhopping for summer, when the temperature agrees with crowds and the night air rumbles with tension, with perspiration, with sex.
I drink in winter. The shedding of winter dress upon entering a dark and musty room feels like abandoning the torture outside. Rooms are empty, tables thin. You get to know [...]]]></description>

In the distance, the ominous scuffle of feet. Groans, boding evil. They round the corner, a menacing wave of 200 lurching figures, faces peeling with [...]]]></description>

Well, it’s bound to take your life.
There is a bad moon on the rise.”
-CCR
The common misperception, of course, is that alcohol warms the body and the blood. In truth, booze creates a loss of body heat—it prohibits the body’s circulation, which reduces heat loss, putting us at greater risk to harm caused [...]]]></description>

Yes: strangers. He’d expected the neighborhood to be like it was when he left five [...]]]></description>

They are gathered around two large tables, kneading and rolling large chunks of brown clay while periodically picking up a clay-caked beer bottle or cranberry vodka. Welcome to “Cocktails and Clay,” a gathering the art center offers [...]]]></description>

Behind the bar, between the cash register and the backlit bottles of booze, rocking along to the great nightly shuffle of bartenders and customers to the tempo of the ambient music, is a bobblehead of the Empire Carpet Man in his tan-rimmed, carpenter glasses and his all-jean apparel. There is something about the [...]]]></description>

Chicago&#8217;s shiny center of condos and clubs. But it wasn&#8217;t long ago that the world of old-time ethnic daytime drunks collided with tattoo-covered, graphic-novel-reading artists and students, turning West Ukrainian Village into a cheap drinkers&#8217; paradise. Such was the case in early January 2002. The obligatory Christmas events were over, and the snow [...]]]></description>

The best way to understand the history of Chicago is to go to a saloon. Much of Chicago’s history, and especially its politics, revolved on a barstool. The city’s first civil uprising, the Lager Beer Riot of 1855, began the intersection between booze and politics. This union was firmly established by the 1890s, [...]]]></description>
