botellón
Spanish • Spain
big bottle •
Spanish activity consisting of people gathering outdoors to socialize while drinking. It's popular among the youth partly due to rising drink prices at bars or clubs, and partly because more people can meet in one place. It's not a substitute to typical nightlife, but rather a cheaper way to drink with people before going out.
"¿Quién se apunta al botellón de esta noche?" "¡Yo! Voy a llevar calimocho."
