Description

P ntsdrunk is a refreshing take on the personal-development genre. Fresh out of Finland, it encourages drinking at home, alone, in your underwear. 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' P ntsdrunk is a refreshing take on the personal-development genre. In Finland there is a special word - 'kalsarik nni' - 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, P ntsdrunk 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 P ntsdrunk 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.

Give pntsdrunk a go. Scandi living might be for you after all -- Guy Kelly * Daily Telegraph *
You cant help but feel that this is the advent of a new craze * The Times *
Finally, we have a new lifestyle trend that suits our weekend plans perfectly. And it's Scandi, which makes it ten times cooler * Metro *
What we are seemingly left with is a fullfilling evening on the sofa, in your pants, drunk but actually embracing the independence of the act. I'm in * The Ocelot *
