oh man. typical russians. i am 100% sure that peter the great was just eternally wasted because i deal with my own perpetually wasted russian on a daily basis and that logic (They tore up paintings and furnishings, smeared vomit and excrement on the floors and walls, smashed expensive parquet floors and used paintings as target practice with their guns) is clearly recognizable.

according to this book, he was indeed eternally shitfaced.

ever hear about that one bar in russia that held a vodka-drinking contest?

i assume all the contestants died and that's why i never heard about it.

but no really, i've never met ANYONE who can drink as much as my boyfriend and be totally normal. i've seen him drink liters of whiskey and vodka in an evening. however, i have no idea what average drinking amounts are because i have never drank. so to me drinking is like this mysterious thing that i am super curious about and try to observe all the time.
