Arlington, VA Drinking Skeptically

Martin Gardner friend and scholar Colm Mulcahy will be joining members of the National Capital Area Skeptics at our monthly Drinking Skeptically event. This is an informal, unstructured gathering of proponents of science and critical thinking. We meet at The Front Page, 4201 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA (near the Ballston Metro) in the atrium behind the restaurant. If you have trouble finding us, tell one of the staff people you are looking for the skeptics. We start to show up at 7:00 pm and have no fixed end time (though most of us have to work in the morning).

“Drinking Skeptically is an informal social event designed to promote fellowship and networking among skeptics, critical thinkers, and like-minded individuals. It provides an opportunity for skeptics to talk, share ideas (and yes, drink) in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. We discuss the issues of the day and whatever else is on our minds. But most of all, we have fun while promoting skepticism, science, and rationality. Don’t drink? Don’t let that stop you from joining us! Some of the world’s most famous skeptics are teetotalers, and we are happy to have you! Remember that drinking skeptically means drinking responsibly. If there’s one thing science has taught us, it’s the effects of alcohol on the human body.
