Why do Russians drink so much vodka?

This is a very common metaphor: the ghost of vodka-a metaphor on TV.

In fact, not only Russia, but also the whole far north: Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Alaska and Canada. All countries infiltrated by the Arctic Circle belong to the so-called vodka belt, and their drinking problem is very serious.

I have repeatedly answered "What happened to your country?" Such as "climate" or "location". Let's face it, being in the Arctic Circle is a violation of human dignity. Summer is warm and bright (it's July 26th, the sunset time in Helsinki is 22:05, and the sunrise time is 04: 44-in fact, it's dusk all night, and it's not dark at all), while autumn, winter and spring are totally horrible. On Christmas Day, the sun in Helsinki rises at 9: 30 in the morning and sets at 15: 30 in the afternoon-only six hours of bleak sunshine. If it is not very cold, it is wet. It seems that the whole nature is plotting against you.

This tragic place and situation are reflected in the national characteristics of all these countries. Sorry, there is no cheerful reggae music here. For us Finns, this is a heavy metal. Similarly, if you still don't believe that God hates you and you are one of the degenerates, spend a winter in rovaniemi. People can't help thinking, what would happen if Duke Charles carried out Calvinism reform in Sweden?

Anti-corrosion treatment like Lao Wang is just a mechanism to deal with bad weather and nature. It gave us a reason to live and helped us through the cold winter. The mid-latitude circle of this map is 60 degrees north latitude; Please note that more than half of Russia is above 60 degrees.

This situation is particularly serious in some small company towns in the Arctic Circle. There is only one employer, a restaurant, a bar and a nightclub, and there is nothing to do in the winter months. The solution is always the same: let's beat it. Heroin can also help you overcome the worst situation. See Reindeer: Escape from Christmas Paradise-Wikipedia and Alcoholism in Alaska.

In Russia, the regrettable social situation, widespread poverty, widespread violence and widespread despair, lawlessness, lack of justice and corruption make the situation worse. According to a bad joke, the middle stage between socialism and materialism is alcoholism. Look at another metaphor: drown my sadness-the metaphor of TV.

Why vodka? Ozzy osbourne said that wine is good, but white wine is faster. The purpose of this is to drink as little as possible and go to the toilet at the same time.

It is said that Americans have differences between drinkers and non-drinkers; Russians distinguish between people who drink vodka and those who don't. Those who drink Samogon (moonshine) are another kind. A good Samogon clock has at least 60% vol, usually 70%. It is also suitable for medical disinfectant alcohol (96%, most of which are safe to drink) or various substitutes with similar concentrations, many of which are not so safe. Not to mention all kinds of cosmetics and bath agents.

However, alcohol is the solution to suicide. About 25% of Russian men die before the age of 55-usually due to alcoholism, alcoholism, alcohol-related diseases, drunken fights or drunken accidents. The losses caused by alcohol to Russia are enormous. Not to mention lost talents, wasted lives, broken families and wasted money.
