"Almost half of working-age men in Russia who die are killed by alcohol abuse, according to a new medical study which says the country's males die in excessive numbers not just because they drink lots of vodka but because they also consume products containing alcohol, such as eau de cologne, antiseptics and medicinal tinctures. Some products contain 95% alcohol by volume, equating to 200 proof."

The climate is definitely a factor I'd say.

 

 

Russians have a slightly heavier version of the German angst, but where as the the Germans cheer themselves up by making meaningless rules, the Russians haven't really organised a proper displacement activity. :wub:
