I think many of us get our information on what it's like to live in Russia from movies and books where they stereotype Russians and vodka.

There are plenty of vodka drinkers in Alaska, I think it's the cheapest hard alcohol-that Monarch brand in the plastic bottle. I used to see plenty of empty bottles in the bushes around Anchorage.

Alcohol abuse in aboriginal reason that these Northern people none enzymes which oppose (split) alcohol. As for the Russians, they can very much to drink but from the alcoholic will not, becomes a very small percentage. We adapt to any conditions it is very easy that can be said about other Western Nations Most Americans are worse than they all carry the condition of life of the climate.
And in Russia, vodka is not the main or your favourite drink. favorite and the most popular alcoholic drink this beer. Then wine, after vodka and cognac.People are drinking in Russia - it is a myth and a stereotype.
The attitude of Russia to the drinkers negative.

I would come back out after it was over. Despite the rhetoric to the contrary, human destructive power pales in comparison to nature. The Pinatubo eruption in 1991 put 25 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere, and even that only lowered the planet's temperature by 2°F over a two year period. The Krakatoa eruption was approximately 13,000 times more powerful than the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima (which was about 15 kilotons).

Yet Russia was more than willing to sell surface-to-air missiles to Iran that were used against the US during our war with Iraq. Russia has been harmed by terrorists as much as the US, yet Russia is aiding the biggest terrorist nation on the planet.

We may not be pointing our nuclear weapons at each other any longer, but the Cold War is not over. When Russia helps terrorists kill US troops, then Russia is still our enemy.

Like most booze, you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap, you usually end up with crap. But you can buy good booze, including vodka. Grey Goose is one of the best vodka manufacturers on the market. You can buy a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 for a couple of bucks, or you can buy a 1977 Grahams vintage Ruby port for around $150 per bottle. Which would you rather drink?

Were You in Russia and did You see drinkers with your own eyes? As for me, I've been in Alaska and I saw drinkers there. As they say in Russian proverb: "one nasty sheep spoils all herd". Both we and you have these "nasty sheep" ... .
