Wet-sinking
Colloquial term used to describe the act of drinking lager beers, or 'wets'. The term can be separated into it's component parts, 'sinking' and 'wets', with either used in isolation - for example one can drink wets or sink beers. However, it is widely accepted that this kind of cross-terminology is best avoided and the traditional 'wet-sinking' used exclusively.
In relation to wet-sinking are associated descriptive terms such as 'wet-shy' or 'wet-nasty' , the former referring to an individual who either abstains from a sufficient amount of wet-sinking or does not reciprocate the purchase of wets while the latter means an inebriated state that may occur as a result of a lengthy wet-sinking session.
In some corners, wet-sinking may be accompanied by song such as the well-known anthem 'We're on the wets'.
