If you insist.

Work should give alcohol rations like sailors used to get!
Well, of course… we’re beyond toast, so come on, Everyone drinks are on me.
It is reassuring to hear that someone in some position of power has at least some grasp on reality.
Anyone who thinks now is a good time to start drinking clearly has a solid grasp of the situation.
Lol she doesn’t have grasp on anything. She is just dooming when her worldview is being challenged.
Already ahead of you there! Cheers, everyone!
All this talk about economic depressions and recessions and such. I dub this era the Global Depression, and it’s much more than just economic.
I’m on day 1162 of Dry January, nice try alcoholism.
Was about to make some joke about drinking habits in Finland, but she is from Estonia. On the other hand, as a Polandball fan I know Estonia deep down wants to be like Finland, so copying the alcoholism is on part!
When things get rough we start drinking?
Talk about bitchmade behavior.
Well now I feel justified in my recent purchase
My advise to Kallas: don’t start personally drinking, but organize credible and systematic drinking.
Find an expert drinker, the EU equivalent of Dmitry Medvedyev. He or she should preferably be a former head of state or PM from a large country. Health checks should be done, since we can’t afford this negotiator passing out too often.
This person should visit the Chinese embassy when sober, then get regularly drunk (observing the behaviour of Elon Mush, microdosing of ketamine might also help). Either way, this person should regularly enter “god mode” and taunt Trump with progress reports about European countries withdrawing from the Non-Prolilferation Agreement, buying nuclear powered space laser technology from China and perspectives for a new trans-Eurasian defense alliance that is coming very soon (and which will allegedly stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine “in 24 hours”).
(On days of high alcohol intake, promises to build a space elevator and climate control station on Greenland might be appropriate to include.)
