[quote:Anonymous Coward 7630440:MV8yMDk2NTk3XzM1MzEyNzM5X0E4OEQyREJE] hate to ruin the fun...celebrate the poison... "In June 2009, the Public Chamber of Russia reported over 500,000 alcohol-related deaths annually, noting that Russians consume about 18 litres (4.0 imp gal; 4.8 US gal) of spirits a year, more than double the 8 litres (1.8 imp gal; 2.1 US gal) World Health Organization experts consider dangerous.[12]" [/quote]

Holy Crap..The Russians know how to party..
If all the bottles of alcohol drunk by Russians during the upcoming 10-day holidays were put on the equator, they’d wrap the globe 17 times. Defying stereotypes, statistics say vodka is no longer the nation’s favorite strong alcohol drink.
When Russians tasted imported alcohol, whisky leapfrogged vodka at the top of the sales ranking. What’s more, strong exotic alcohol has become the fastest growing segment of the market, as Russians tend to prefer whisky more and more.
