Day drinking is kind of like running a marathon.
Sometimes, you've just got to push through. That seems to be the message from Sophomore Year, a comedy group that added "Day Drinking" to their video series on the "Ridiculous, petty, honest and dumb things couples do when they're alone... together."
In it, a couple divulges in the ever-popular trend of consuming copious amounts of alcohol throughout the daylight hours.

Netherlands — Genever “Head Butt”
The Dutch style of drinking genever, a kind of flavored whiskey, is to do it by “head butting.” To do this, they pour chilled genever in a tulip glass until the drink reaches the very tip of the rim. Bending from the waist, they take a sip, then straighten up and follow with a sip of beer. The “head butt” is repeated until the drink is gone.Photo Credit: © Flickr / imnewtryme

Peru — Passing the Glass
In Peru, one beer is shared among a group. One friend pours a glass from a bottle, and the bottle is passed to the next friend, who waits for them to drink the glass and then flick the froth onto the ground. The next drinker does the same, and the beer is passed until it’s finished and it’s time for another.Photo Credit: © Flickr / Smabs SputzerClick Here to see More Surprising Drinking Rituals From Around the World
