To: Shermy
Thanks.

Now it's time to learn some Dutch:

Zuipen = quickly drinking large amounts of booze
Kater = hangover
Een olifant een pootje lichten = from a Bols commercial. A man lifts his glas of Bols while saying this.
Kroegentocht = when a group of people (mostly students) go out and visit many cafes while doing a lot of "zuipen"
Je het apelazarus zuipen = drinking booze until you see flying monkeys!

Thanks! Now you have one on me.

I've invited some paramount chiefs -- great pals o' mine -- to observe the local customs.
