About us
Thinking While Drinking is a group for anyone in the San Diego area interested in discussing topics that will exercise, stimulate and expand your mind - all while enjoying a drink at different locations in our beautiful county.
For each event, the facilitators will come prepared with a handful of thought provoking questions and concepts on the topic at hand, we'll see what everyone has to say and go from there...
We are not suggesting that life's difficult and fascinating questions will be neatly answered during our meetups nor that any sort of professional therapy or dogma will take place. This is just a space to meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment.
Last but not least, our group is run entirely by volunteers and your donations go a long way to keep us afloat. Help support us by contributing to our Patreon
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you (online for now) at an upcoming event!

The discussion will dive into how past pain points shape the way we express affection and what it takes to cultivate genuine, lasting intimacy. Grab a craft pour from North Park Brewing Company's broad selection, bring your perspective, and let's engage in an honest, thoughtful conversation on how to bridge the gap between initial romance and long-term connection.
Suggested viewing before we meet (7 min video): The Five Love Languages
- How do hurts from the past shape our love language?
- Is how you prefer to receive love different than how you give love? Why?
- What are some ways we can invest quality time with our loved ones?
- Do you think that our love languages change over time?
Let's learn our languages and speak to each other about love.
