A portion of Luos, just like any other Kenyan, like to wash away a hard and hectic day with a few or several bottles of liquor in the evening to relax their nerves.
However, at times they end up taking more than their bodies can hold, ending up drunk or just tipsy, opening the way for drunken behaviors.
Here are the three types of drunk Luos and how they behave.
1. English Heavyweights
They decide to unleash their English prowess once under the influence of the liquor, and end up forming their own complicated and sophisticated English words, some of which are nowhere in the Macmillan English Dictionary.
Feeling very good about themselves as a result of the alcohol, they usually speak about sensitive issues like politics, mostly national and international and some business.
This is common among the rich and middle income earners.
2. Dondi-dondi
Dondi dondi is a Luo word for a person who is fond of scolding others over small issues.
This is the characteristic of some drunks who will scold anyone and everyone, with their biggest victims, on most occasions, being wives and children.
Their friends who try to intervene also get their portion of the same.
3. Silent ones
They become alarmingly silent once they get home one drunk.
These are on most occasions very active and vocal people when in their right senses, and change their nature due to fear of offending their children and spouses.
