Totally different in many ways.Americans generally consume fast food products,they drink beer almost anytime of day...many other differences..

A common concept among Russsians - beer is good for quenching the thirst (kvas too, but good kvas is harder to get). Sodas don't work, they are too sweet and (again, according to common belief) have some ingredients in them to make you more thirsty and buy another bottle of soda.
Coca-Cola is considered something akin to poison. Though many people still like it and drink it regularly, most of them feel somewhat guilty about "ruining" thir health with this devilish drink. .

That's why in summer one in two Russians on the street drink beer right from the bottle/can.

PS. Do you know who to cook an authentic Cuban pork sandwich? Anyone? I've found a few receipts, but people (mostly from Miami ) wail in comments that this is not a "real" sandwich.
