Pantsdrunk
Päntsdrunk (also known as Kalsarikänni) is a Finnish concept related to the practice of relaxing at home in one's underwear while consuming alcohol. This cultural phenomenon has gained international attention and is often compared to other Nordic lifestyle concepts such as the Danish Hygge and the Swedish Lagom.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Päntsdrunk" is a portmanteau of the Finnish words "pänts" (pants) and "drunk". The original Finnish term, "Kalsarikänni", is a compound of "kalsari" (underwear) and "känni" (drunk).
Concept[edit | edit source]
Päntsdrunk is a form of relaxation that involves staying at home, wearing comfortable clothes (or none at all), and consuming alcohol. It is often associated with watching TV, reading, or other solitary activities. The concept is seen as a response to the harsh Finnish winters, which can limit outdoor activities.
In popular culture[edit | edit source]
Päntsdrunk has been popularized in various media, including books and television shows. The concept has been featured in the book "Päntsdrunk: The Finnish Path to Relaxation" by Miska Rantanen, which provides a humorous guide to the practice.
