Russian Blog: How to drink vodka and stay sober
Share ThisRussians are renowned for drinking a lot of vodka staying sober. That’s not something to do with biological inheritance but with the way we drink.
Russians believe that foreigners don’t know how to drink. They don’t eat while drinking. They mix cocktails. They sip vodka instead of taking shots. They drink vodka with highly carbonated sodas. In short, they do everything to get drunk from the minimum amount of alcohol…
Russians, on the other hand, do everything to stay sober while drinking as much alcohol as possible. How do we do it? We try to neutralize alcohol as long as possible. I try to outline the basic principles of vodka drinking for uninitiated.
Guilty as charged. I drink 3 Olives vodka to get hammered and wine for taste. Though I wouldn’t consider myself drunk, just more lively and uninhibited (and I become even more arrogant, if that’s possible to imagine).
