I went to the Shot of Gin gossip site, and in the story they list two people's twitter accounts, apparently as verification.
The first one,
https://twitter.com/#!/theflea4L, never claims to have been there and makes no mention of attending the event; he just chastises Gronk for the rumor in his timeline. For what it's worth this person is a fan of the Yankees, Colts and Tim Tebow.
The second one lists herself as a Boston resident and fan of the area sports teams, including the Patriots. If you look at her twitter time line she does not say that she saw Gronk do that; she says that she
heard that Gronk did that, and chastised him for it.

Hey @ZoltanMesko heard your event was great last night. Also heart @RobGronkowski deliberately poured a drink on a female fan. #classy #not
Shot of Gin then asks her if she can tell the details about Gronkowski pouring drinks on girls. Her response:
https://twitter.com/michtrei/status/211882796719931394
@ShotOfGinn absolutely, when her friend introduced her to #gronk, he looked her up and down and proceeded to dump his jack and coke on her
Shot of Gin then says that's crazy, and asks if she was there. She doesn't respond, but from the previous response it is obvious that she was
not a witness and strictly repeating second hand gossip. She didn't see anything; she "heart" (sic), i.e., only heard about what happened
And by the way, per SoG's twitter account, he describes himself as "a blogger, a college student, and likely an alcoholic. I'm the owner of Shot of Ginn. I'm a huge NFL fan, tweet mostly when I'm drunk and/or about the NFL."
Are we really supposed to take a drunken gossip mongering college student seriously, and not think that he perhaps embellishes second hand accounts just a little bit? Based on two people hearing the rumor, repeating the rumor becoming verification that the rumor is fact?
Wow ....
