Description

Beer, bonds, and belonging in Denmark. In Denmark, alcohol isn’t just a drink—it’s a social shortcut. From Friday bars to school parties, booze is woven into daily life in ways that can shock newcomers. For internationals, it can feel like you have to drink just to make friends, join in at work, or even learn the language. But is that really true? And how do you handle it if you’d rather not?  In this episode, Derek, Mike, and guest comedian Dharkshika Christopher share stories, stats, and laughs about drinking culture, social pressure, and why you don’t need to be drunk to feel at home in Denmark.
