It’s easy to see how pantsdrunk evolved as a response to the harsh Finnish environment, one of perpetual gloom and freezing temperatures for nine and a half months of the year. Look out of a window on a Finnish November day and much of the time it’s pitch dark and freezing, a lacerating sleet is falling and the pavements are crusted in ice and slush. Often the streets are deserted and human companionship requires a lengthy and unpleasant trek. And that’s at noon, the brightest point of the day. No wonder pantsdrunk came into being.
That is one hell of an accurate representation of my informational environment now and a fine excuse for solo underwear couch drinking.
This may sound fanciful but at the heart of this approach lies a democratic ideal. “Pantsdrunk” doesn’t demand that you deny yourself the little things that make you happy or that you spend a fortune on Instagrammable Scandi furniture and load your house with more altar candles than a Catholic church. Affordability is its hallmark, offering a realistic remedy to everyday stress.

Kind of like Florida folks talking about how great the weather is when they're inside 6 months out of the year with the A/C on and condensation on the outside of their windows?
And remember, they aren't REAL friends if they make a big deal about your preferences for a more comfortable state of undress when drinking on their home's couches. Prudes.
Whoa.

Years ago, sandy back yard in Tucson, pick a winter day , also get some dry ice for fog and mist, dig a pit, get some clams and corn and taters. I was the only one of the gang to recognize the genius of this idea, so it never really happened .
Also ,wasn't my backyard……………….

"I ain't fuckin' goin' out there."
[pop and soft hiss of an opened beer bottle]
I wouldn’t fit in. I’d be out in the cold and dark looking at stars and/or aurorae.
So you'd just be pantsless and drunk outside, then?
yeah, but it'd be dark
and when it's not hot outside , we pretend it is.

Real friends come over and drink your booze.
Friends don't let friends wear uncomfortable clothing.
See, this guy's got the right idea:

We only found out later, when the extended version was released, that no one was wearing any pants.
that headband looks really comfortable
I remember everybody shaved their head and got one of those headbands after that episode aired.
More of an art than a science.

This is genius and it needs to happen, with or without authorization.
I KNEW IT!!!!
Also, I'm gonna dog sit for a couple that's going to cruise the fjords of Norway.
