Pre-drinking pre-lash

Question

Hi, how do you say "pre-drining/ pre-lash" in Spanish? This is when you drink alcoholic drinks before you go out to a club or party. It often involves playing drinking games too, often with a group of friends and usually young people like teenagers. Maybe its like a botellón in Spanish? Thanks in advance.

This practice is called "Una pendejada" or "Una estupidez" or "Una torpeza."

Answer 3

I have never heard "pre-drinking" or "pre-lashing." My friends called it "pre-gaming."

But a lot of Spanish cultures don't have this "practice," so there is no name for it. Botellón is Spain Spanish for the practice of bringing drinks out to the streets and drinking. It is not the same as what you are referring to.

And as far as I know, I have never come across any drinking games here in Spain. I think that is a culture thing.
