Pantsdrunk: The Finnish Art of Drinking at Home. Alone. In Your Underwear. by Miska Rantanen
Russell Howard and Greg Davies discuss Pantsdrunk:
R: 'It feels very English to get pissed in your underwear, on your own, and then not go out'
G: 'I've been doing it my whole adult life!'
R: 'Do you think it will make us live longer?'
G: 'No. Quite the reverse'
R: 'But it'll make the time we have on Earth... seem more fun'
Pantsdrunk is a refreshing take on the personal-development genre. In Finland there is a special word - 'kalsarikanni' - to denote 'drinking at home, alone, in your underwear'.
It is no coincidence Finland consistently rates in the top five in happiness ranking. In Finland, Pantsdrunk is considered a path to recovery and self-empowerment to help you face your future challenges, much like the 'lagom' or 'hygge' of their other Scandi neighbours.
The Pantsdrunk method also includes bingeing on Netflix, scrolling mindlessly on your phone, sweet and salty snacks, sofa time, and blocking all work communications. It will lead you to a healthier, more energising and relaxing life - wherever, whenever.
