LAST CHANCE: COCKTAIL CULTURE AT RISD MUSEUM

Socrates  75
Cocktail Culture, the popular RISD exhibit which showcases artifacts from Jazz Age drinkers through the 19th century's first hip wave of the '60s and '70s, ends its run on Sunday, July 31 (when the museum closes until September). Reviewers have called it the history of cocktail drinking but that's an overstatement. The curator steered clear of politics, economics and war so don't run to the exhibit expecting enlightenment. Go, instead, to look at its best parts - the dresses and the assorted accessories, from shoes to martini shakers.  www.risdmuseum.org
