I heard the same from my two russian friends here in kl. They too say that people dont drink vodka that much in russia anymore, especially in clubs. Mostly beer and whiskey nowadays.

I love Vodka. Not the rot gut stuff, but the higher end stuff is so understated.

I do think that a lot of it comes to what you are brought up on. I know a lot of Russians and Eastern Europeans that can drink the hard liquors far better than any aussies. I put it down to what you are brought up on … for us thats beer!

I don’t mind the russians drinking, but when they want to make it a contest, I always decline. I rather enjoy soups like borstj instead for drinking and eating.

Every Russian probably obtains the ‘this-guy-is-an-alcoholic’ label when he tries to show his drinking talents off abroad:) Except for Finland, obviously

Hello Lelik, Really I heard before that Russians are great fan of Vodka. I never knew that our concept was wrong. While drink Vodka and I hang out with my friends, I says vodka rises body temperature and my friends says that’s why Russians (Cold place) drinks Vodka a lot . I really liked your blogs since it reveals the real culture, people, food, activities and everything about Russia.

Actually Russians drink too much beer, more than vodka. But we also love whiskey, rum, etc. etc

Is that true? Drinking vodka means that you must be a poor village citizen or you are not a successful person? Isn’t it that drinking something, aside from champange, is like a celebration? Does Russians have different drinks with different meanings and occasions?

Hi, well I don’t know where you lived but I lived in Moscow for 6 years and people pretty much loveeeeeee their vodka there. But I won’t generalize on vodka, they love booze. That explains why the most common diseases in Moscow (I work in the medical field) are liver cirrhosis, acute gastritis, pancreatic cancer and other alcohol related diseases.
