A bunch of us who work in the environmental field used to meet up for a beer in London once a month. It was a nice gathering, and we always encouraged people to invite others, so you never knew who would be there and they were always interesting people and great connections were made and cool ideas were had. We started in 1990 and called it Green Drinks.
In 2000 we set up a website greendrinks.org as an easy-to-remember URL and soon after that we realized a few friends from Oxford were having their own Green Drinks too so we listed them on the website. New York City joined as the first US Green Drinks in 2002, set up by Margaret Lydecker who became the USA Coordinator. As Green Drinkers saw the website, travelled the world and relocated jobs, more sprang up.
Since 2000 there have been over a million Green Drinks attendees worldwide.

There have been a few iterations and organizers of Buffalo Green Drinks over the years. This latest version and email list started up in summer 2019 and returned in summer 2021.
