As a "Drunken Master". I can say that we drunken masters can also get drunk.... We just mastered "The Art of Acting Normal"

As a Filipino, I can add some characters of Filipino Drinkers: 1. The Jokers, makes jokes and keep the group laughing. 2. Guitarist, do the music if the karaoke is not available. 3. Drama King/Queen, who always cry about their problems or break ups; most of the time, thry sre the reason why they gather for a drink. 4. Linguist, suddenly become english spoken or sometimes can speak baby slung words.

We also have English Majors - the ones who suddenly can speak fluent English once drunk. 😂

The song he sang at the end are for the people who eats the pulutan like a meal. “Dont treat our pulutan like it’s rice”. Just to add to the list of players in an Inuman Session, there’s also the “Uwak” or Crow. These people are the ones in the washroom making the “uwaaak” sound while puking 🤣🤣🤣

As Asian Malaysian guy, this is what Sabahan called "Together-Gether Roundtable" drinking alcohol with glass sharing 😄😄😄

I just experienced that 2 days ago!...everything is true. I was also skeptical about the 1 glass but I did not know about the tanggero. Luckily, I just sat there and allowed the host to serve instead of pouring my own shots. Pulutan is a new word I learned so its been more than an experience, but a learning one as well. As it turns out, I'm the drunkin master, last man standing. Although I fell out of the tricycle on the way home...lol

There's a lot of funny characters on an inuman session, we have clowns, the depressed, the possessed, the laughing chimpanzee and many more, but what's more important is the fun and the bond your having while you're doing tagay 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Sharing the same glass goes way back to pre Spanish colonialism. We call it "Sanduguan". Sanduguan was an ancient ritual in the Philippines used to seal a friendship or treaty, or to validate an agreement. The contracting parties would cut their hands and pour their blood into a cup filled with liquid, such as wine, and drink the mixture.

If you noticed, among a drinking session around Pinoys the unspoken rule is *"Thou shall not Pass"* and that is why the shot glass gets passed around to ensure you are not cheating your shot by saying "pass", and it's a last man standing kinda event. Everybody goes home drunk, some throw up, some get picked up by their angry wives, some fall asleep on their seats, some sing while controlling their gag reflexes lol, some cry to a former love affliction incidence. But the bottomline is everybody had fun and had a bit of bonding with whoever was present in the session. 😁

NELLY!!!! NELLY DEAR OF THE FILIPINOS!!! ITS NICE TO SEE YOU BACK & VLOGGING (ON YOUR OWN THIS TIME). PERSONALLY, I FELT SAD OF WHAT HAPPENED BUT IM GLAD THT YOU ARE OK ALREADY (HOPEFULLY). NNICE SSEING YOUR SINCERE SMILE WHILE YOU ENJOY AS WELL THIS 101 FILIPINO DRINKING ETIQUETTE. CONTINUE TO ENJOY VLOGGING AND WE ARE AT YOUR BACK.

Thank you Nelly. We, the Filipinos are delighted by your vlog. It's a gift for us. Keep them coming. Mabuhay ka!

Nelly's laugh is so contagious😂

I just love seeing nellys smiling and laughing 🤗☺️😁

Imagine a drinking session with your own cups/glasses, you won't talk to each and will just mind your own businesses. I experienced it before and it's so boring. You won't get a chance to talk to each other. But if you do it the Filipino way, you can like "Hey it's your turn now". Then it's up to you on how you keep the conversation going on.

Whenever I go back to the Philippines for vacation, the first few nights are always like this. Yep, even on weekdays!

This video brings back so many fun memories of my younger days in the Philippines! One time after an "inuman" me and my friends were staggering back to our homes late at night and two of them fell into a drainage ditch on the side of the road. After much cursing from them and much laughing from the rest we all managed to get home though. And we did another "inuman" again a few days after just to poke fun at the guys who fell in the ditch 😂 Fun times.

Ahh, I love seeing a reactor who 1) knew who Bogart was, and 2) didn’t get puzzled about his accent. So apparent that you know a lot about the Philippines. I hope you keep having fun there! ❤

Just watching your happy reactions to this vlog is a nice good start to my day., with your ever smiling face. Hope to see more. Do take care always.

Hahaha oh dear 🤣.I could kill myself laughing but I was once a drunkard back those times in the Philippines. I was invited on a b-day party and i got drunk and ended up sleeping in our garden 🤣🤣🤣.

The "first shot" goes to the unknowns or we call it, the "anitos" as a sign of respect to their presence. We give back to nature what we receive, that sort of thing. It is in the psyche of every Filipinos who drink. We offer them that first shot. Sometimes, when one of the friends have gone on the next world, we do honor him also with that one glass filled with wine. It stays on the table until the end of the session.

I'm so proud of you the blogger for being so generous and be proud of the cultures of Filipinos a true warm blooded Filipinos na instead of mocking she's raising the dignity of a Filipino mabuhay Po kayo kahit iba ang lahi mo

OMG HAHAHAHA THANKS FOR REACTING TO OUR VIDEO! ❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOUR REACTION 😂😂😂

There are a lot more different characters in a "Inuman" other than the ones that have been mentioned, such as, "the crow caller": this is the person who always vomits. "the crying lady": this person is guaranteed to always cry and share their broken heart. "the telephone man": this person is the one who is hated by the group because he is always in the phone. "the fire man": the one who is always leave to take a pee. and lastly "the boat man": also known as the "bangkero", is the life of the inuman, always have the jokes and story for the group to enjoy...

Can't blame you being skeptic with the shared glass thing. I had the same thoughts in my first experience of it, but the consecutive session gave me a different view to it. It's pretty much a social camaraderie thing, most commonly done among close friend groups or barkada.

The small portion thrown away before serving the alcohol started in the province where local liquors were served. Local liquors were not regulated and can result to poisoning. The belief was the impurities would float, thus, that's the portion thrown out before drinking starts. We call it gin bulag (alcohol poisoning).

Im very proud of you raising my flag to the world, wven you era German you know Filipinos are drinking alchol or wine because of happiness, fulfilment in daily job birthdays winning in games, much good to say we're happy😂😂😂😂❤❤

Wow I didn’t know some of these facts about my culture. Thanks for letting me know. ❤😂🎉 am embarrass to say you know so much more about The Philippines than me. I left home when I was 13 years old. Im 50 now. Anyways appreciate it always. Ingat

can still remember one of my friends got so drunk then he said " we all share the same glass, we are now brothers" im dead 🤣

Actually there are more types of Filipino drinkers to be included: * the cook- the one who usually cooks the pulotan *the transformer- from a strait guy transforms into gay when intoxicated, this cannibalistic creature usually preys the "sleeping beauty" to avoid being compromise (no haters but it happens). *the flash- the one who constantly shifting seats in the the circle by either avoiding additional tagay or to have more tagay(haha... Bulaos). *the barber/story teller/joker- the one who talks much, naturally they brought humor for the circle specially when karaoke is not available *drama queen or king- cries or get emotional after get drunk. this creatures are Broken hearted they need advice and comfort * the swimming champion- the one who sleeps with his own 🤮, this creature is the cousin of "the sleeping beauty" except that they are more messy, *etc. It's more fun in the Philippines!

its nc to see your enjoying your stay in Phil. wish you the best

I don't drink and I won't never drink the comedy here is top notch filipino are very nice and amazing people meet many and I have many friends I really love this video

I may say I did a good “drinking life” before ( younger days 😜),,Nostalgic! i remember the first time i was drunk with redhorse and last time super drown into Ginebra gin (4 cantos) just 2 persons and it was catastrophe.Enjoying your reaction Nelly, bringing back young days I may say 😅❤️

Inuman session is somewhat a test of friendship among us Pinoys. Those able to finish till the last drop usually became real buddies till they grow old or for life. Walang iwanan for good or bad. For some reasons inuman session is not exclusively for fun... it's also a celebration or renewal of friendship.

I am a Filipino and been living in Germany for 9 yrs. I am so glad to see you reacting on our different traditions/cultures in the Philippines 😊 looking forward for more reactions from you 😊

That's true Oo Masayahin po kasi ang mga Filipino ganyan po talaga mag inuman kami 😀😁😂

a little advise to our foreign friends. If in any way you were invited to drink with filipinos, ofcourse you can't say no. What you can do is to just drink the alcohol they're offering, or make an excuse. Tell them you have work to do or meeting a friend or whatever, it's not disrespect to reject, just be polite. Sometimes they force you and when that happens, just walk away.

🤩😍❤❤that filipino is british accent "lovely thanks for reacting xx✌✌

I can relate with the escape artist. So happy watching your reactions.

Thank you Nelly.. Its nice to know you are enjoying the life in the Philippines.. Mabuhay..

If everyone here doesnt know, sharing a glass is called SANDUGO or bloodpact. The portuguese discoverer Magellan shared sandugo (literal one. A blood pact where individuals slash their wrists and bind them together as a gesture that theyre officially welcomed to the community or simply, considered a friend). Thats the story behind the sharing of the glass in a tagay(drinking session)

this was nice, aside from the fact I am a Bogart fan. love how you totally relate to his drinking ethics 101 video. 😍 language trivia: it is quite okay if someone within the circle passes on one or more round. it is very common, true, to have someone else have the shot which that person passed on. we call it "salo" [sa-lo'] (literal English translation: catch). meaning the act of someone covering up for you so you can skip your task, in this case, the shot you cannot take because you feel the alcohol having its effect already. 😂

Enjoyed your vid... thanks and God Bless.

Hello Nelly it's good to see your vlog again...keep it coming...take care and be safe always ❤️ 💙 💖

to add up, he forgot to mention the 'englisher"🤣 sudden english conversationalist.

In my past occupation i developed a strong tolerance to alcohol. So i'm very confident to say i'm the "Drunken Master" type, Hahaha. Great reaction video. God bless!

most attraction is your beauty ms nelly..... ur so pretty and simply....

Being a "Drunken Master" is just as much about being able to properly pace yourself as it is being extremely tolerant. Remember to take long (30-60 days) breaks from drinking! It's a great way to spot alcohol dependency early on so you can nip it in the bud, and the tolerance break is also beneficial since you get more bang for your buck when drinking if you aren't super duper tolerant!

When I was in the engineering university in the 90s, I didn't like the tagay drinking system (my dad is a physician and I read his books). So, everytime I drink with my group of friends, I convinced everyone to have our own individual glass. We became the odd group in our uni as everybody else were doing the tagay. My group felt so cultured that by the time we were graduating , we were already wearing monocles. We're still broke though because we're students.

Well I'm just happy to see you're happy Nelly!

missed your videos Ma'am Nelly.. Happy to see your youtube account again.. more videos po, God Bless..

Growing up in Philippines and having experienced this type of drinking ritual ,some sneaky drinker would start spitting their drink into the chaser water just to prevent getting morbidly drunk. Also there are times where 2 glasses are going around which forces everyone not to tarry otherwise you’ll end up taking 2 shots in a row.

Drinking from a communal shot glass is a thing in the PH. Myself and booze friends however had to bring our own shot glasses (and chaser cups; though we have a stock of disposable red beer cups ready) during the first few weeks of easing the pandemic restrictions. And wiiiith alcohol comes an alcohol sanitiser spray bottle, and solo plates for pulutan :D It's nice we can have more booze weekends nowadays as all restrictions have been eased. Also that part to evade the potential of getting stabbed with an icepick? That is probably due to the culture of taking a shot offered by a group of people drinking on the sides of the streets or by sari-sari stores back in the day, and refusing a shot kinda sends snobby vibes and may trigger ire. While I haven't encountered getting poked with an icepick when I refused a tagay (e.g. heading to or from work, etc.), I know a few people who got the stabby end of a metal implement when they, um, said 'pass' on the shot. 💦

Glass sharing like blood compact of Filipino revolutionaries 👍

I am very happy to see you laughing. Love from the Philippines

I grew up sharing a single glass. One time drinking in the dark, we ran out of ice. But a few minutes later some mysteriously appeared in the glass. A few rounds later, the drink was still room temp. Turns out it was someone's false teeth floating in it.

he forgot the crying drinker and the speaking english drinker

Nelie we miss you here from Philippines... I don't skip adds

Mabuhay Nelly!!! Love the video...

As a foreigner i was never a fan of glass sharing, it’s just weird, it’s not a competition, people have different tolerance levels, different drunkenness desires, different drinking speeds. The focus becomes about the alcohol instead of just focusing on having a good time. I like a lot of Philippine traditions but I think the west does drinking better on this one.

very well said .. thank you for appreciating our culture. I always watch your videos.

It’s nice to see Nelly doing good ✌️
