HARD DRINKING, TROMSØ STYLE
It takes stamina to stay the course. With work over, friends will meet for
Fredagpils;
Friday drinks to plan the campaign ahead. Then it's time for
Vorspiel,
or foreplay, a
preliminary oiling at a friend's house before setting off around midnight for a club or
bar. At the statutory throwing-out time of 3.30am, it's
Fyllemat,
fill-up time, when
you pick up a burger, kebab or hot dog from one of the street stalls that lurk outside
major venues before heading once more to a friend's pad for a few hours'
Nachspiel,
or afterplay.
By now it's bed for middle-distance runners while the marathon crowd stamps its
feet outside Ølhallen's, waiting for the sliding of bolts that marks its 9am opening. 'If
you can stand, we'll serve you', is the bar staff's rule of thumb.
