So many percent of people cheat during carnival

If you down about ninety beers in a Donald Trump suit for five days straight in the south of the country, then you're asking for trouble.

Because a lot of alcohol combined with many other partygoers quickly leads to flirting, butt pinching, and tongue kissing between shots. That's perfectly fine, of course. And you keep each other warm with that cold. It's even cozy. Except when you have a partner left behind in the north of the country. During carnival, quite a bit of cheating happens and betrayed.

About a quarter of all Brabanders cheat during the grand festivities. They are immediately labeled ‘the worst’, as the national average is 13.4 percent. Still not great numbers, because if you guy go partying and you don't, then after reading this article, you won't feel great on your couch. The Limburgers are a bit more reserved than the Brabanders: only 6 percent of all people from this province cheat. This is mainly because there are also many carnival-goers who celebrate the party without alcohol. Yes, that exists. It can happen; people who don't have a hangover on the Wednesday after.

Moreover, there is a real gauge. If you spend a lot of money on your costume, you are more likely to get cozy with someone else. Someone who spends 200 euros or more on their cat or superhero costume has three times the chance of cheating compared to someone who spends 30 euros or less. On average, we spend about 53 euros a year on our carnival outfit.

Well, it promises to be a super fun weekend anyway. Alaaf. Oh, and darling, did I already mention that I'm going with the boys this year? Just like that.
