What we’re about
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!

Suggested viewing before we meet (12 min video): How to Have Better Contentious Conversations
- What are the benefits and costs in engaging or avoiding contentious political, moral, or ethical discussions?
- Do you feel that controversial discourse is like a zombie movie, or what would be a better metaphor?
- What moral values matter most to you in how you see the world (e.g. fairness, security, loyalty, authority, purity, …)?
- How might contentious conversations change if you tried to appeal to their values, rather than using your own?
Let's delve into it together!
