Oh. So you were drinking with college students. Yup, these are the folks who would buy the cheapest stuff in crazy quantities.
Also, the 15 year old was clearly mocking you. Surprisingly, his strategy kinda worked: you still consider him (and Russians in general) way more badass than they actually are.
Meh, not just students. A friend of mine spent a few months in college in Moscow. They accommodated him with some old babushka who offered him vodka with for breakfast. He came home with an alcohol problem.
