Russell Howard and Greg Davies explore the concept of "Pantsdrunk" in their podcast. They discuss the English tradition of getting drunk in one's underwear at home and not going out. Greg reveals that he has been doing this for most of his adult life. Russell asks if it will make us live longer, to which Greg responds that it actually has the opposite effect. However, he believes that "Pantsdrunk" can make the time we have on Earth more enjoyable.

In Finland, there is a special word called "kalsarikänni" that translates to "drinking at home, alone, in your underwear." This practice is not uncommon in Finland, and the country consistently ranks among the happiest in the world. Päntsdrunk is seen as a way to recover and empower oneself, similar to the concepts of lagom or hygge in neighboring Scandinavian countries. The Päntsdrunk method involves indulging in activities such as binge-watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, consuming sweet and salty snacks, spending time on the sofa, and avoiding work-related communications. According to Russell and Greg, this approach can lead to a healthier, more energizing, and relaxing life, regardless of where or when it is practiced.
