The spirit (
: pirtu) is a very potent alcoholic drink, consuming it will almost instantly make the player pass out. The bottles can be found inside Jokke's new house while the "party" is going on. Unlike the rest of the alcohol at the party; the spirit bottles can be picked up and moved around. The bottles will disappear upon saving and reloading the game.
Drinking a bottle of spirit has a 20% chance to make the player go blind temporarily.

Trivia[]
- Going blind from drinking a bottle of spirit will unlock the "Methanol Man" achievement.
- The implication here is that the Bereznik spirit contains methanol — an industrial alcohol unfit for consumption, sometimes found in bootleg liquor and capable of causing blindness or even death.
- The bottle is labelled as "Spirytus" which is a variety of Polish imported alcohol.
- The spirit has likely been smuggled into the country, as non-denatured beverages containing over 80% alcohol by volume were heavily regulated under Finnish law.
- The Polish name implies that the bottle has been smuggled from Poland. Smuggling alcohol from Poland to Finland through passanger ferries was a common side-hustle for Polish people in the 1980's and 1990's due to the country's poor economy during the Soviet and post-Soviet period.
