Foreigners generally think that Russians like hard liquor and often ask such questions: "Why do Russians like vodka so much?"
But there is another question that is asked more: "How to drink vodka with Russians?"
Many people attribute the reason why Russians drink too much to their special physique, but Russians themselves think that drinking has nothing to do with physique, but is closely related to Russian tradition.
Russians like to drink vodka because it can really warm their bodies and can be perfectly combined with Russian cuisine.
When drinking vodka, you must eat something greasy, even a little sour cream! You should eat some boiled or fried potatoes, bread, sausages, cheese and fatty fish.
There are many cheap appetizers, so you won't get drunk with them. "
There are other "cheats".
Many Russians eat a raw egg before attending a festival banquet.
It is said that this is the best way to stick to it and stay awake.
But doctors are firmly opposed to this method, because raw eggs are the most common carrier of salmonella. If you are not sure about the quality of eggs, you can drink a spoonful of vegetable oil.
Santiago Fonseca, a Mexican, said: "It was my first time in Moscow, and I was fully prepared to welcome the New Year with my friends from my Russian girlfriend. I learned that fat can inhibit the absorption of alcohol, so I drank a few spoonfuls of oil and ate two potatoes. Although unbelievable, I did stay awake after drinking a whole bottle of vodka! "
Although fat helps people not to get drunk, they should not overeat and eat a lot of pasta and sweets. This is also very important, because it will increase the burden on the liver, resulting in its inability to decompose alcohol well.
