Today in the London Times is a very interesting article on alcoholism,
though to be fair a little blarzy in it's deliberations.
Having lectured in Russia on several occasions, the one thing you must
understand is Vodka drinking is in many ways like the Brits consume tea,
a social obsession. Personally I prefer a good glass of wine, even if
Georgian Champagnski is terribble.
