The 'Apéro' is a sacred ritual. Inviting someone to 'boire un coup' at 6 PM usually means sitting down for an hour of talk before dinner.

'Boire un coup' almost exclusively implies ordering a local craft beer. In villages, 'boire un coup' is often done standing at the bar (le zinc), emphasizing a quick, frequent social check-in.
The 'On' Rule
