Reasons to Celebrate

Euroholics is about discovering and embracing Europe’s rich and diverse traditions.

Whether it's the warmth of a shared glass of wine, the excitement of clinking beer mugs, or the smooth finish of schnapps, we believe that celebrating together creates lasting bonds. It's not just about the drink, it’s about the stories shared, the laughter exchanged, and the unity felt when people come together, no matter where they are from.

So join the movement, share your reasons to drink and related beverages and brace yourself to explore the hidden gems of European drink culture.

One cheers at a time!

Does your country / the region where you are from have some outstanding, collective (holi-)day, where everyone is getting shitfaced? Do you have a personal holiday, where you do so? Is it on a specific date? What alcohol do you consume on that day?

We would love to lear more about it! Please feel free to add dates, reasons (personal or in your country) and the perferct drink for the occasion.
