Cultural Information about Drinking in Poland[edit | edit source]

Polish people have a long-standing tradition of drinking, and drinking culture plays an important role in social gatherings. It's not uncommon to see friends and family enjoying a few drinks during celebrations or to unwind after a long day at work.

One of the most popular alcoholic drinks in Poland is wódka (vodka). According to some sources, Poland is the birthplace of vodka, and there are many types of vodka produced here. Some of the most famous brands include Żubrówka, Soplica, and Wyborowa. Polish people often drink vodka with a meal or as a part of a celebration, and it's usually served in small glasses, called kieliszki.

Another popular alcoholic drink is piwo (beer). According to statistics, Poles are some of the biggest beer drinkers in Europe. Beer is often consumed with a meal, during a football game, or as a part of a night out with friends.

To help you practice your Polish drinking vocabulary in context, here is a dialogue between two friends:

  • Person 1: Cześć! Chcesz wypić coś? (Hi! Do you want to drink something?)
  • Person 2: Tak, chętnie. Mogę prosić kawę? (Yes, please. Can I have coffee?)
  • Person 1: Oczywiście, zaraz przyniosę. (Of course, I'll bring it right away.)
  • Person 2: Dzięki. A ty co chcesz wypić? (Thanks. And what do you want to drink?)
  • Person 1: Ja wypiję piwo, masz ochotę spróbować? (I'll have a beer, do you want to try?)
