Can confirm, have done often. Often it just implies drinking at home without leaving anywhere. Being just in your underwear is optional. You can also do it with another person if you live together.

    But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?

    There is probably a better Finn word for that.

    Vaihtokalsarikännit. Though that could mean either "switch underwear" or "spare underwear" drinking.

    Does it have a negative or positive connotation? Cause it kinda sounds amazing to me.

    Where the fuck else am I supposed to get drunk alone in my underwear?

    Is there a Swedish word for that?

    Is this like how Inuits have a bunch of words for snow because they deal with so much of it, Finnish people have different kinds of getting drunk?

    English has many words for snow too, you just don't think them as words for snow, such as snow, ice, slush, sleet, flake and hail off the top of my head.

    English, especially british one, has at least as many words for drunk as in finnish.

    I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.

    There's a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying "it's not sad if it's intentional!"

    In Google Translate, without the 2 dots on the third a, I get "Squid Ducks". With the dots I get "Skullcaps".

    This is not relevant, but I've been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it's called, or where I would find it?

    That dude unboxed those fans and set them up but didn’t even turn them on. What? Got to get that breeze!

    Looks like this might be his first time ever using fans.

    Of course they do, they spend most days inside their homes on account of the frigid winters 🍺
