boonhet@lemm.ee 1 week agoDamn, you guys have invented a whole new way of drinking out there with the washing line and pegs lol
I haven’t noticed boxed premix cocktails here, just wine mostly, would love to start my own business making them, buuuuuuuut I imagine there’s a whole crapload of legislation around producing and selling alcoholic drinks that would make this prohibitively expensive to get started.

Not every place has them here, so I get them from Aldi when they have them, because Aldi is awesome for getting munted on a budget lol. Cheap wine, cheap German beer, cheap goon. Bless Aldi.
If you could get around the legislation, I reckon you’d be in for real nice profits!
I know there’s a bar near me that has espresso martinis on tap, which is mint af

I suspect munted of being a local word, but context ought supply

“Munted on a budget” has such a nice ring to it, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity lol

It does. One of the reasons I like the C word. Plosives are satisfying to pronounce.

It is very much a local word I hadn’t heard of before, but context was most certainly enough. My own native language does not have such nice words for getting shitfaced/munted/pissed/wasted/etc, our euphemisms roughly just come down to drinking yourself into a casket (it’s said “into a box”, but everyone understands it’s supposed to mean casket) or just getting blackout drunk so you don’t remember shit. Our language has some 14 noun cases, so it just instead of the cumbersome “into a/an/the X” of English, we’d say X-i or X-sse. So if “box” is “kast”, we say “kasti” and if a slang term for a memory blackout is “mällar” or “mälus” (literally: in memory), we say “mällarisse” or “mällu” (literally: “into memory”)

Your use of x makes me think you are talking about a language that uses clicks?! I have a favourite book with a character with an !X name

It’s funny, Aldi is from the same continent as me, but you guys get to have it in Australia, whereas I have to cross two borders to get to a country that does. To be fair, that drive is about the same as Sydney to Melbourne, we have fairly small countries here in the Baltics.
I have more questions now. What even goes in an Espresso Martini? Is it a cocktail or a coffee drink? Where the hell do I get one?
