  • Yes it’s definitely healthier. But now that you mention Schnaps…

    Sometimes, just sometimes I feel a little sad about traditions getting lost. Where I’m from it has something of “taking care of guests”, that you hardly can replace without alcohol.

    For example “Christbaumloben”, a tradition we practiced. It means going from house to house at Christmas, telling people that their tree looks nice and getting Schnaps. It’s just a nice way of connecting to people you often don’t see anymore, maybe because you moved away from home or so. Impossible when nobody’s drinking.

    We need new traditions that don’t require drinking.
