    This is the shortest way to get acquainted with a piece of @@@@.

    It seems for me that the more a person is a drunker, the more he'd insist on drinking together. Mostly they won't care about your (foreigner's) health, just trying to overdrink you.

    A stupid miserable drunker is not worth drinking together either.

    As far as parties and fun are concerned, since you don't need to get dead drunk, you may as well drink beer or wine.

    Finally, you can't know a man at a drink session. You can know him only living and working together.
    Nobody tells that you must drink yourself to insensibility. When you're on business people are stiff and formal. 100 g of vodka at dinner usually unfasten tongues and the conversation is more relaxed at that. People drink. Many people. Many drink much. We can make a good use of this. As we say "Что у трезвого на уме, то у пьяного на языке". Get your opponent drunk and you'll gain an advantage in negotiations. I don't entirely trust a man who is formal to you.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    I guess, we have different estimations on how many and how much people drink. 100g is very much. But it makes sense in russian business, I agree.

    100 g is not much even for me. It's only a half of a standard glass.

    That's absolutely right! 100 g is just enough to feel that you're drunk but not enough to make you wobble... If you don't feel very well after drinking 100g of vodka, you shouldn't drink it at all, I suppose.

    Drinking a bottle of vodka for three, or a bottle of vine for each is normal and is not considered as excessive. Refusing to drink as much as the rest of the company is considered as disrespect. The favorite men's drink is Russian vodka, the favorite women's drink is Soviet Champagne - a decent Russian sparkling vine.
    Drinking until one falls is all right. The parties usually take place in private flats, and majority of the guests stay to sleep overnight occupying all free space on coaches and the floor....

    What if he's teetotal? Your theory kinda peters out at this point, son.
