Did you listen to a podcast when you found out? ๐Ÿ˜

Of two German dudes? ๐Ÿ˜…

There are some kinds of walks that are just a turn off for me, and I'm not talking about ministry of silly walks.

Just if the guys have no tension in their body, no self esteem at all or walk as if they'd explode if their peepee touches either side of the legs, wide legged... Maybe one could call it " the baggy jeans walk"? Actually it's hard to describe, but maybe you get it?

Yes it's definitely healthier. But now that you mention Schnaps...

Sometimes, just sometimes I feel a little sad about traditions getting lost. Where I'm from it has something of "taking care of guests", that you hardly can replace without alcohol.

For example "Christbaumloben", a tradition we practiced. It means going from house to house at Christmas, telling people that their tree looks nice and getting Schnaps. It's just a nice way of connecting to people you often don't see anymore, maybe because you moved away from home or so. Impossible when nobody's drinking.

We need new traditions that don't require drinking.

Good point. Funny how legalization of one drug can make the dangers of another more obvious to society.

Yeah I got the same impression, Germany here as well.

And I wasn't sure if it's just a thing in my friends group and if it has to do with a certain age and not being able to drink because of pregnancy and having kids that normalized it. That's why I asked.

I heard of the spooky two days hangover by some my age, but never experienced it myself. Still I lost motivation for drinking, somehow.

 

Do you have the impression that alcohol consumption that was pretty normalized a few years back on every social occasion is getting questioned lately? What do you think about it?

I once even made the tofu myself. That was a mess. But an interesting experiment. ๐Ÿ˜
