Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a very special reason to raise our glasses. January 5th of the year 2014 is the day that the founder of this weblog Nikolay turns 22. If 11 is the ‘crazy number’ can you imagine what happens if the drinking machine from Pernik doubles this number? For sure it’s…
The poll is closed and that means the time to vote is over. For a week you had the chance to chose your number one drinking country. Without a doubt we can tell you that this must be Russia. With 214 out of a total of 1.041 votes these East-Europeans ended on top of the…
One of the first things you are told as a new student at the American University in Blagoevgrad is that THE party of the year is Drunken Eagle. This is when all Albanian students chip in to cause brain damage to the entire student body. Usually Drunken Eagle is celebrated around the 28th and 29th…
Our tip for the weekend… Today we had a good cup (we ran out of soup bowls) Bulgarian tripe soup. Or shkembe chobra as they call it. This simple soup with the main ingredients tripe, garlic and chili pepper is a great cure for hangovers. I appologyze for the bad quality of the pictures, but…

It’s about a night that would be remembered (figure of speech of course, since the protagonists in this story suffered from major black-outs) as ‘the night we took over the world’. We’ll explain that in a bit. Two words that will cling to this story forever are…
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is the national hero of Turkey. He was an army officer, a revolutionary, founder of modern day Turkey but above all one hell of a drinker. The man drank a liter of raki, the Turkish national liquor, a day. Probably also the reason why he died only 57 years old from a…
Time for a good old real drinking adventure. It’s long, it’s scandalous and told from the perspective of three different people. Let us first introduce you to the setting and the writers. It was early December 2011 in the Bulgarian student town of Blagoevgrad. As every year the 8th of December is a day that…
This person should’ve been born in Bulgaria. Or somewhere in the Balkans. He would fit best in the crazy, chaotic peninsula with a pinch of oriental spices where people are serious when they say “party”. They know how to make it.
