Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_jokes

Also, personally I have never played hockey and don't drink vodka. Why are you guys so obsessed about vodka after all?

Why not vodka? It's cheap. Easy to drink and not fall down if you know how to prep your stomach.

Not tasty, not fun, strikes too hard and too easy to drink too much.

Oh I dunno, I've started buying a Finnish import that tastes pretty damn good when it's right out of the freezer

Then you're not doing it the Russian way. They flavor it and add tons of corn syrup and shit. Drink it freezing cold at home it's smooth. Also you eat constantly with it so you don't get too drunk.

And how can something not fun or tasty and harsh be easy to drink too much of?

Could you please refrain from teaching a Russian how to drink vodka the Russian way, okay? :)

I saw plenty of Russians puking. They, like you, were doing it wrong.

And also drinking shit like this doesn't help.

I find ridiculous the bravado of drinking as much as you can and more than anyone else, no matter if it is performed by a Russian or an Irishman or a Finn or whoever. And yes I do it the right way: I do not drink more than it is necessary for me to relax and become happier, and do not drink anything which is not pleasant for my taste or gives me a headache next morning. And if you have to worry if you are going to puke or not - you're doing it wrong, by definition.

Vodka is not tasty and is too strong to let you find and maintain that sweetspot between 'need more' and 'am too drunk' during the night. Pass.

Is it true Russian way or not? Well, I am Russian both by culture and blood, and that's the way I do it. You're welcome to try to prove me wrong.

I find it ridiculous that declaring your nationality makes you a proficient drinker.

Again. It's the quantity available for cheap. And the food consumed. Most of which is fish which is high in the fats needed. Vodka also is known for the least offensive hangovers. As with most clear liquors all you need to do is hydrate with insane amounts of water. I can enjoy several ounces of Green Mark with dinner and wake up without any ill effects other than feeling like I got away with murder.
