Snaps drinking in Sweden, early 20th century.
---
In the Nordic countries, especially Denmark and Sweden, but not in Iceland, snaps (pronounced [ˈsnaps], Finnish: snapsi), among many nicknames, is a small shot of a strong alcoholic beverage taken during the course of a meal.
Young men engage in amyl nitrate sniffing prior to retiring. Swedish lodge, undisclosed location.
The Swedish version of the Bohemian Grove?
I'm not cool enough to know what that is 🥺
Extremely rich, powerful, influential men - it's a men only thing - meet in the California woods in secret. What actually happens there is anybody's guess. My wild hunch is that they let their hair down and act like idiots but they also network.

Oh I was imagining something more romantic, like young men forced to live a double life by the pressures of society, finding this lodge and finally able to express their love and desire for each other.
Now I'm kind of sad.
Just imagine some clandestine meeting of some horny Swedish lads, it probably happened. Think or how thrilled they'd be at how far we've come.
Or them fucking, idk whatever fills your heart.
