Six Stages of Drinking as told by the Vikings

Having a beer and a snack

Stage 1. After a long day, Björn has his dinner. And what goes better with a turkey leg than beer?

Telling a tall tale

Stage 2. Magnhild has had her dinner. And a few beers. Now Magnhild is telling that famous story of the time she defeated seven enemies in combat. Of course it is a long tale, so she needs more beer.

Seeking a partner

Stage 3. Halvor and Ingriðr have had dinner and a few beers. They've told a few stories and had a few more beers. Now they seek each other's comfort and a hug and a kiss. Beer: helping people get lucky since 876.

Chugging too many

Stage 4. Ketilriðr has had dinner and a few beers. He told a few stories had a few beers, and some admirers have given him some hugs and kisses. Ketilriðr doesn't really need any more beer, but he is convinced this is the best thing to do, so he chugs off a bucket to slake his thirst.

Passing out

Stage 5. Roald has had dinner and a few beers. He told a few stories, had some hugs and kisses, and chugged off a bucket to slake his thirst. Now Roald has passed out and is visiting the land of Nod.

Doing it again the next night.

Stage 6. Here we are the next nght, starting it all over again.
