Pink Mafia Guide to TIFF 2012 4AM

As always, Pink Mafia has your back. In the case of TIFF 2012, we want to make sure you know exactly where you will be able to pour vodka down your throat until 4am. There are a few really great events, that you should not even consider missing, which I will tell you all about in a minute.

First though, for those all star drinkers who just need to know right away every single place you can get your drink on until 4am over the next 10 days, here is a comprehensive list. There are 44 bars an restaurants with approved extended licenses compared to last year’s 25, which means one thing only: you need to drink THAT much harder.

As for the events:
