Party with Russian
Real American guide behavior in the Russian party.
"I think the ability of Russian vodka, not against them explains some features of biology. This is due to their traditions. Many Russian believe that the foreigners do not know how to drink - they drink and snack. They mix cocktails. They drink vodka not gulp, sip a little bit. It is possible that this is due to the high cost of alcohol and innate greed of foreigners. Russian, on the contrary, they drink as much as they can to get into - while still alive. Here are the main principles of drinking vodka for the uninitiated:
An hour before the party (options)
1. Eat a couple of boiled potatoes
2. Drink one or two raw eggs
3. Drink one or two tablespoons of vegetable oil
This ensures you that you will be sober, even if you drink a bottle of vodka. I'm not kidding. Raw eggs - this is the most effective way.
During the party 1. If you start to drink vodka - drink only vodka. No beer or wine. No juice. And especially: no soda.
2. Vodka is not "tsedim" and drink a "volley».
3. Immediately after the "volley" snack. It is important to neutralize alcohol. This is best done if the food is salty or sour. It can be pickled tomatoes, cucumbers, sauerkraut, caviar on bread with butter, herring - it is possible with cold boiled potatoes and onions or boiled beets and mayonnaise, sprats or sardines. If not - you can have a snack traditional Russian salad, they call it "Olivier" (it mixes all the food that is in the house, add boiled eggs and everything is filled with a thick layer of mayonnaise). Ukrainians love to snack smoked bacon with garlic, but this appetizer - for professionals.
4. Be sure to only the first three shots of vodka. This will show people that you are sociable and friendly person. The next one to two glasses you can skip. To do this, simply say: «Ya propuskayu». This does not mean that you do not have to drink. This means that you, as a "weak" foreigner allowed to gather new strength for the party.
Russia has taken to drink all at once - before it pronounced some toast. Drink all at the same table on which are a glass of vodka and a snack (zakuskis). The man who says toast usually pours vodka himself and everyone in the glass. Take a bottle in hand himself, to pour out of it himself in a glass and enjoy yourself - this is a very big faux pas. If you do want to make a toast - in the shops sell special books - there are so many options for all occasions.
5. Snacks (zakuskis) eat for only the first hour of the party (in this time you drink about 200 grams of vodka - 4 glasses). After that you will be served hot (goryacheye) - and you have to eat it, even if you do not want to eat. Just because you can not get drunk.
6. Actively participate in intellectual conversation at the table - it will support your head in working order. You're not entirely sober, but not drunk.
7. At the end of the evening you will be served tea and cake. Do not skip this meal. In this way, you show employers that you are completely sober and appreciated their hospitality without any dire consequences.
So, for four or five hours, you drank a whole bottle of vodka (500 grams) - and you are not only alive, you're almost sober.
After party. Leave in the evening a small bottle of beer in the fridge. Stand about five in the morning and drink it, then go to "fill up." This will save you from a morning hangover.
2. If that does not work, but usually this is enough, drink a glass of water with salt, brine from the Russian drink canned pickled vegetables.
Some Russian advised to drink a small glass of vodka in the morning to relieve a hangover - do not do it: it is only suitable for alcoholics.
So drink vodka - and stay sober, as do Russian! »
