I hadn't heard from Max Sparber in a while and was wondering what he'd been up to lately. Turns out he's been working on a new weblog called The Bottle Gang [Link], a group-authored compendium of alcohol-related reviews and articles with an emphasis on the history of booze-hounding, and the many fine (and not-so-fine) drinking establishments of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

For those of us who greatly missed Max's previous drinking 'blog, the New Orleans-centric Daily Lush, this new endeavor is a welcome addition to the booze-o-sphere. I particularly enjoyed the following article on Hollywood drunks, and I'm hoping for a few more installments to cover some of the hundreds, if not thousands, of tipsy Tinseltowners that had to be omitted due to time and space requirements.
