Yes but Russian kool-aid has vodka in it, so you get the double wammy effect.... Blurred visions of grandeur

Russians drink Vodka straight. I haven't met one yet who would drink vodka mixed with juice. Vodka first, chased by juice.

Nope, it originally meant what it means now, developing nations. It changed after WWII to include political spheres of influence and it changed back after the Soviet Union broke apart.

Yep. Tomato. Tomahto.

And it's mad cheap over there. We were charged 1.10 a shot American Dollars.

Vodka is what primarily accounts for the ridiculously low life expectancy of Russian males.

Reminds me - I bought my father in law a bottle of grey goose for his birthday a couple of years ago. We drank a shot and then I saw about a week later the rest of the bottle hadn't been touched. I asked him what was wrong and he said "it's not vodka". So the next time we were out, I took him to the liquor store to pick out a bottle and he grabbed this really cheap one, can't even remember the name. I couldn't even drink it, and he was like "this is vodka". I drank the grey goose.

I'm not a drinker at all. I tried it just to say I did. But this is what I do know. We had a liquor locker on the ship. Never knew it existed until we left Russia. My XO wanted a bottle of vodka, so I got her one. She said take it down the locker. Since I didn't know where it was I asked around. Once I found it, the MA's opened it up. The entire floor was littered with Vodka from Russia.
