The Library of Birmingham (Archives and Collections) has:
Drink plan of Coventry shewing fully licensed houses .... chapels and churches [with inset on drink by the Coventry Temperance Society]. 1885.
(Finding no. 79467).
There is a similar map of Birmingham, not actually called a drink map:
Map of licensed houses ....Birmingham .... copied from a map prepared by the City Surveyor. 1891.
(Finding no. 149421)
There are further details of the Birmingham map on the Library of Birmingham online CALM catalogue. The Coventry map appears only in a card catalogue available in the library.
Both maps show the locations of licensed premises by dots of various colours.
