7. Vodka in Russia

It’s a well-known fact that vodka is the Russian drink of choice. You might understand why it is their most common cause of death after learning their drinking etiquette.

You can’t place a glass back on the table after a toast until it is bottom up and empty. Don’t arrive at dinner late, or you’ll be forced to drink a whole glass of vodka to catch up with the rest of the party. Never toast with an empty glass. Doing so warrants the downing of the entire vodka bottle. If that doesn’t get your stomach pumping, not much else will.
