5 DRINK MINIMUM: MOTHER’S DAY EDITION

Five bars, five drinks, five writers showing up a bit on the late side the next morning.

Any day of the week, it’s a fair bet you can find a Dig staffer bellied up to the bar. Twice a year, we even take notes.

It’s time again for our biannual Five Drink Minimum feature—five bars, five drinks, five writers showing up a bit on the late side the next morning. In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, we’ve dedicated this one to She who gave us life, love, and plenty of advice we never listened to.

Thanks for everything, Ma.

And hey—at least the bit about “getting plenty of fluids” stuck.
