Pantsdrunk (stylized as Päntsdrunk; , ) is a form of drinking culture, originating in Finland, in which the drinker consumes alcoholic drinks at home dressed in very little clothing, usually underwear, with no intention of going out.

The forced isolation of people in their own homes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic created a global trend for this drinking habit.
