Pantsdrunk
Pantsdrunk (stylized as Päntsdrunk; Finnish: kalsarikännit, ) is a form of ⓘdrinking culture, originating in Finland, in which the drinker consumes alcoholic drinks at home dressed in very little clothing, usually underwear, with no intention of going out. To a large extent, it is still considered a way of life in Finland, possibly related to the stereotyped lack of social contacts among Finns. The forced isolation of people in their own homes caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic created a global trend for this drinking habit.[1][2][3][4]
In popular culture
Books guiding to the right method and philosophy for "pantsdrunking" have also been written, the most notable being Päntsdrunk (Kalsarikänni): The Finnish Path to Relaxation (Drinking at Home, Alone, in Your Underwear) written by Miska Rantanen, and published in 2018.[5][6][7][8][9] The Australian brewery Two Birds Brewing launched a line of beers called Kalsarikännit in 2020.[10][11][12]
