Cadaan folks consume alcohol to relax and unwind, while Somalis drink it to get pumped up and act tough.

Most Somalis didn't grow up seeing alcohol in their fridges or storage rooms. They don't go to wine tasting retreats or collect 50yrs old scotchs

They consume immediately however many bottles they buy at the liquor store.

The drink alcohol the same way the chew khat.

It is rare to see a Somali who has a bar in his crib.

It never occurred to me to even try it. A year ago at work there was a raffle ticket for some charity and with that ticket I won a price which turned out to be a 6 bottle carton of wine worth $150 and I gave it to my white co-workers. The look on their faces when they realized I never had an alcohol drink in my life. lol

I don't drink, smoke or chew Qat and I have never even been to a nightclub in my life. :Shrug:

If you're gonna drink, keep that shit to yourself and don't embarrass yourself or your fams.
Barigi hore somalidu xumaantooda way qarsan jiren.Sida lo ogaado nin wax caba way adkaan jirtay.Laakin hada dadki heer ay ku faanan danbiyadooda ayey gaadhen.I guess waxa la gaadhey xiligi ay wax kasta caadi noqon jiren.Zinadi iyo fusuuqdi ay so badan doonan.

Qof kasta naftiisa ha la xarbiyo.

Seeing Somalis buying packs of beers and wine is an ugly sight.
Also quite saddening.
