Title: Interesting Russia tidbit
Post by: Wolfala on June 01, 2004, 08:59:27 AM

Russia is commonly mistaken to be the most drinking country. The latest data suggest it is not true. Consumption of alcohol in Russia last year was less than in United States, Canada, Brazil, and China... put together...


Hmm.....

LOL! :D

In fact people here drink maybe 10 times more then in 1992 (the first year when government regulation on prices and production was gone).

Now I am giving my liver some rest, and I suddenly discovered that more then 50% of men I meet in an underground smell drunk...

Per Capita is what counts, not total consumed.

this also counts all the alcoholic drinks together. 1 bud lite != bottle of vodka.
