Lit. “a brainfucker”, is a general term used for any cheap low-quality alcoholic beverage. The most common receiver of this distinction is Polish cheap wine but it matches as well fruit liqueurs or fruit-flavoured vodkas, often sold to people in need, in small “monkey” bottles.
Lit. “to be yesterday’s”. A colloquial way to point that a person is in bad shape after alcohol overdose last day/night.
Lit. “the beer muscle” which in Polish stands for a beer gut and not for being keen on having a fight following alcohol consumption.
Lit. “a little monkey” is a Polish idiom for a small (0.1-0.2 litre) bottle of strong alcohol (mostly 30-40% vol.) – either a pure or flavoured vodka. You can buy them in most “monopolowy” shops and also in some supermarkets.
Lit. “to the bottom!” is what you say (or shout) when someone else (or the whole group, yourself included) is downing vodka shots. It is a merry exclamation and a sort of encouragement to pour the fiery liquid into your throat – and not leave even a drop in the glass.
