The Drink Tank is a fanzine edited and published on an approximately weekly schedule by Christopher J. Garcia. It focuses on science fiction fandom, sex, weirdness and rock music. The title comes from a typo on a form filing trademark on the name for a film production company in the mid-1990s.
Edited by Chris Garcia, The Drink Tank debuted on eFanzines.com on January 31st, 2005. At first it was a rough zine of five pages.
