In American bar culture, ordering chasers is a common drinking practice, particularly with shots of strong spirits. In Brazilian Portuguese, the context determines translation—'perseguidores' for people pursuing something, and 'bebidas para acompanhar' or 'chasers' for the alcoholic beverage context. The term 'chasers' is often used directly in Portuguese when referring to drinks.
