Deliberately taking time to care for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It's the modern practice of prioritizing yourself — from face masks to therapy sessions to just turning off your phone.
A party with lots of alcohol, or the act of heavy drinking with friends until the night is over. It is that kind of gathering where booze is the absolute main character and the conversation flows at the same pace as the bottles being emptied. Used in Chile, Mexico, and Peru with the same general meaning of a boozy get together.

The word comes from La Malinche, the indigenous woman who served as Hernán Cortés' translator during the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and it carries a deep cultural sting of betrayal and selling out your own people.
To drink alcohol with friends, to go grab some beers or drinks. In Mexico, pistear is the classic Friday plan: sit somewhere and chat with a drink in hand.
A person who watches over parked cars on the street in exchange for tips in Mexico. They claim a stretch of curb as their territory and charge you for a 'service' you never asked for.
