"Juernes" is a more modern word for the same thing....gods how I love linguistics....

i believe desi is calling us a bunch of little bitches, but somehow, when it comes to drinking, i am not comfortable challenging her. I mean we might dominate the (weak) LA league and they (the legendary hard drinking finns) are challenging for supremacy in the always strong northern european, freeze you arse off if you don't have a 4.5% alcohol blood level league.

Abril 25 de 2008

Encuesta reveló que 2,5 millones de colombianos mayores de 12 años son alcohólicos

La investigación, que no se hacía desde hace 18 años, reveló que en el país existen 3,5 millones de personas con alguna discapacidad. Expertos analizaron las cifras.

Además, el 12,8 por ciento de los adultos entre 18 y 69 años fuma, lo mismo que el 2,5 por ciento de los adolescentes (entre los 12 y los 17 años).

Estos son algunos de los datos preliminares arrojados por la Encuesta Nacional de Salud, elaborada por la unión temporal Sistemas Especializados de Información (SEI), la Universidad Javeriana y el Observatorio de Salud Pública de Santander, y divulgada ayer por el Ministerio de la Protección Social.

I'm no lightweight. I out partied everyone in Medellin. Even the cokeheads. The cokeheads would go a couple of days and then have to crash for a couple of days. I was out every night drinking consistantly. I just needed to recharge with food. Terminal Sur bus station was a good place to go at 4am for a good meal. The only problem was when one cokehead would crash, more would come out to party. I still kept up even when the partying went on until 11am in the morning.

We did a pig roast with some Serbs a few years back. They were loaded by 10 am when they went to get the pig....came back in this landyacht (like a mid '70s LTD)..

They (Serbs) had the pig alive in the trunk. Brought it alive in the house and were bombed...shooting at the pig in the house with a .22. This was after they had a garbage tied around its head trying to sufficate it. Pig was running through the house knocking over lamps, bleeding like mad...they finally trapped it in a stairway...shot it again in the head...

Field dressed it in a bathtub upstairs.....you can imagine the rest...

And this was just the beginning of the evening... that plum liquor (homemade)....makes 'em loco.

"Four decades ago alcohol consumption in Finland was among the lowest in Europe; it now ranks halfway up the list. According to statistics, alcohol consumption in Finland is on the same level with the Netherlands, Belgium and Greece, and slightly above the level of consumption in Australia, Italy, Canada, Poland, New Zealand and the US. In Sweden and Norway alcohol consumption has increased faster than in Finland, but the overall level of consumption is still considerably lower especially in Norway than in Finland. In Denmark the level of recorded alcohol consumption has been higher than that of Finland for decades. Taking into account unrecorded alcohol consumption, the total consumption in Finland, 10,5 litres of alcohol per inhabitant, is on the level with consumption in France and Denmark."
http://www.paihdelinkki.fi/Articles/111-alcohol-use-in-finland

The Finns have this reputation of being heavy drinkers, but I believe it's mostly because we drink in order to get DRUNK. Not a little wine with the dinner, or a couple of beers watching a match on TV, or a few martinis at a party. It's this primitive, savage getting-intoxicated-as -fast-as-possible type of drinking and also because we tend to drink several days in a row.
It's ingrained in our culture that's it a GOOD thing, something to be proud of, something to boast about how drunk you've been and all the stupid idiotic things you did when drunk.

without being a heavy drinker myself I've noticed that I drink considerably more often than my friends in Colombia. I can handle my liquor too, much better than my colombiana friends. I actually enjoy being at Colombian parties, having a few aguardientes or whatever, seeing my friends with a stiff little finger get tipsy and acting silly; saying the damnest things and showing their true colors....in vino veritas ...

I thinks the Germans know how to drink, and most Europeans, why is Colombia, in the top list?. When the bf (German/American) went to Medellin the first time, he was drinking beer, his only choice, he sow everyone having so much fun, he said "this Colombian beers taste like water, I need something stronger to be like they are" He started drinking aguardiente, and beer!, my family was static, and he had like 15 aguardientes!, he was all smiles and not shy at all, he even dance!

I think he show his true colors!

Desideria (Moderator) says on Apr 25, 2008, 12:42:

Lots of people show their true colors after a few drinks. I was partying with a bunch of people who are not really my friends, just friends of a friend and as the aguardiente flowed the masks were dropped...it was quite entertaining.
