Nah, not really. Beer is more of a drink after sauna, because it hydrates as well. (Yes the overall alcohol is a diuretic but beer as opposed to vodka.)
After sauna you can maybe have a shot or two but that’s just for a weekend sauna or something.
Going to the sauna is hardly anymore special than taking a bath. In fact I’d argue that more Finnish households have saunas than bathtubs, although that is a guess. We have more saunas than registered cars.
Pretty much every apartment, even studios, built after like 1990 has a sauna. Perhaps of the tiniest ones don’t, but a small one small two-room apartment built after -95 definitely would. Mine does. And these are cheap government rentbuildings.
There’s no lake at my apartment building, so I just have to settle for a cool shower and/or sometimes standing on the balcony in the winter.
And if you live in an apartment building that you don’t have a personal sauna in, there’s definitely one in your building still which you’re allowed to reserve as a tenant, for like an hour or two a week, some for free some for like 2e/h.
You’ve got a sauna at home?
Yes, i highly recommend it! But you can often find saunas in community centers, gyms and other places where naked people hangout.
Are you from Finland?
If he was, the routine would also involve an ice cold lake and vodka…

No! But it would be an amazing place to live!
I think, going to sauna in the morning can be a bit hard for me… (Morning and I…) But, I should try. Thanks for the tip though
