Russian Alcholic Beverages

Drinking alcoholic beverages in Russia can almost be called one of their national traditions it is enjoyed so much. Infact, Peter the Great was famous for his drinking shows and the book called ‘Khrushchev Remembers’, describes avidly Stalin’s drinking bouts that took place almost nightly. Another reason, which may explain the love for alcoholic beverages by the Russian people, can be understood if you know a little about the Russian weather. Here the people go through long and very cold winters and a drink can keep you from freezing up. Infact, the Soviet government felt that this was such a good way of keeping the people warm that during these periods they would keep the vodka fairly cheap.
