Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "pist" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

In Mexico, a night out drinking with friends. You say it will just be a couple of beers and you end up closing the bar without knowing how you got home. Comes from pistear, the Mexican slang verb for drinking.

Examples

¿Nos aventamos una pisteada el viernes después del trabajo?

Should we go out drinking on Friday after work?

La pisteada de ayer estuvo buena, pero hoy ando muerto de cruda.

Last night's session was great but today I am completely hungover.
