PARIS, July 13 — Imagine the scene: after a day’s work, you kick back on the couch in your underwear and crack open a bottle of something alcoholic. This may have happened to you already during the various covid lockdowns — or maybe still now. But this practice has a name — in Finland, at...

PARIS, July 13 — Imagine the scene: after a day’s work, you kick back on the couch in your underwear and crack open a bottle of something alcoholic.

And far from being shameful, this drinking ritual is, on the contrary, all about enjoying some “me time.” But remember, excessive alcohol consumption is bad for your health. But a custom from Finland proposes a somewhat less stylised approach to hunkering down at home. Called Kalsarikännit — or “drinking at home, alone, in your underwear” — this practice involves enjoying a glass of alcoholic tipple while wearing minimal clothing.

And it’s a concept that’s easy to export too. It even has an equivalent English name, “Pantsdrunk.” Maybe Homer Simpson was on to something after all...With Kalsarikännit, socializing is out, at least for one night. Seeing friends in a bar rarely involves just one drink. But here, you’re fully in control of your consumption, as well as what time you finish and go to bed.
