Some History: Brazilians were almost teetotalers until the early 19th century. There weren’t bars or taverns and the drink of choice was wine, only socially. In 1808, the Portuguese court brought European drinking habits, so the rich and middle class got the bars - already labelled with that word, from English and French. The poor folks started drinking at bodegas, that is, village stores, a corruption from apotecário, pharmacy, a word which was changed again to boteco, dive bar. Above you cans see some botecos that still work as village stores, a view still common in the countryside. 

Last Monday, 30 dolphins got stranded and were immediately rescued by people in a beach in Rio.
