An informal noun stemming from the verb at drikke (to drink) via en drik (a drink) and drukkenskab (drunkenness), druk is the act of consuming a large quantity of alcohol. Like “binge”, druk has negative connotations, but it also has a wider range of meanings and can described a general habit of heavy drinking, not just a single incidence. These include drukfest, a party involving heavy drinking, drukkultur, a culture of binge drinking, and druktur a “trip” or night out involving excessive alcohol consumption.
