Booze
Bostonist has a blog crush on DrinkBoston because it has helped us through many of our drinking life crises with authoritative yet supple advice. Tonight, DrinkBoston's majordomo Lauren Clark will lead booze scholars through the history of drinking in Boston. Topics will include the Ward Eight, Bostonist's favorite political cocktail, seedy Scollay Square, the Cocoanut Grove fire, and tiki bars. The host will offer plenty of pedagogical beverages, which might even make it worth the trip to Union Square's hipster den. Grand, 374 Somerville Ave., Somerville, 7:30 p.m. $20.
Rock
Do people still care about the Breeders? We guess so, because people are apparently buying the band's new record. We'd stick around long enough to hear "Iris." Paradise Rock Club, 967 Comm. Ave., 8 p.m. $22.
Movies
The Arrangement (1969) was Elia Kazan's weirdest movie. Kirk Douglas stars as the character that would make his son a rich man: a successful but anxious dude undergoing an midlife crisis with extreme but ultimately uplifting consequences. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7 p.m. $8/$6.
