kirat community where the guests must drink their liguor immediately after they are served

Torempa is an ancient Kirati man.He prefers much liquor(wasim/ummak). According to a myth, Torempa is hosted by his relatives angpa-angma(samdhi-samdhini) with liquor. But he does not seem to be content with the liquor. Torempa put his head in the pot of liquor when angpa-angma were out of their house. He could not take out his head from the lid of the pot which made him died there itself.
