Sometimes they eat cats and dogs as pulutan. I am not a heavy drinker and join them only occasionly. I only drink beer (SM pale pilsen) and never take any pulutan (for safety reason). Henk,

People don't need an occasion in order to get really drunk. Just, well, they need to drink and those thousand of stories that go along with it! The water in that glass is called the chaser. It "chases away" the after-taste of the gin after taking it in. And of course, the "pulutan", which is shared by everyone. Never start the session without one! Dexter Hi Jan,
