Back in those times, in that country, it was a mandatory custom to do that, asking the father for his girl hand. You had to prove a real PoW in drinking and still be sober. That shows a lot of strength and control. Is not easy as it may look...
Nowadays... not sure if is still in place.
btw... we never get married, with license and shit... was just a simple agreement. But remained a good friend of the father...

Those rules were very clear back in my time... If you want to get married, you must do PoW.
Today, Darth is like...
If my daughter will come with a boyfriend into my house, first thing I will put him to the test... no doubt.

How impressed will you be when he bests you?

Sincerely... very few nowadays boys can do that. Mostly are pussies that doesn't know how to drink, even my daughter can put them under the table.
I really wish he can put me under the table.

About 30 years ago I was best man to a friend who was marrying a Russian woman. I went with him to meet the family. They were recent immigrants to the US so they didn't speak English. We just sat around the table, ate a little food, and then they brought out the vodka and shot glasses. Teenagers, grandmother, it didn't matter. Everyone began drinking and toasting and laughing. It was a fun night, but I had a rough few days after that.

Right, exactly that I was doing, the whole day and night, until next morning.
The mother and daughter were bringing food and drinks (usually strong liquor, wine and beers) and we just talk and talk about all kind of things.
In the morning, the mother came into the room and when she saw her husband under the table totally drunk and sleepy, was asking: "is this show enough, are you satisfied?"Certainly she didn't like that "show" but was part of the customs.
I was like... please can you bring me a beer to wake up?
