Pantsdrunk (or stylized to Päntsdrunk; Finnish: kalsarikännit, ˈkɑls̠ɑriˌkænːit (help·info)) is a form of drinking culture, originating in Finland, in which the drinker consumes alcoholic drinks at home, dressed in as little clothing as possible, mainly in underwear with no intention of going out. To a large extent, it is still considered a way of life in Finland, possibly related to the stereotyped lack of social contacts among Finns. The forced isolation of people in their own homes caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic created a global trend for this drinking habit.[1][2][3][4]
