Max enjoying of 1 glass Baltika  Russian Beer 17,5 % alcohol

In The Netherlands I sometimes enjoy in NaturFoodstores ALFA-EDELPILS and the alcohol percentage is less high (4 %) then the Russian Beer  (17,5 %). That is extremely high. For ladies the percentage is less, 12 %. Russian persons drink also a lot of Vodka, wodka and the percentage is about 60 %, for women the percentage is about 48 %, so not so heavy.

I have seen people drinking this beer out the bottle and more than 5 bottles on a evening. There are extreme situations like I have seen in a banja, russian sauna, where more than normal have been drinked.
It is very normal when people walk in the streets with their wifes that the man drinks a bottle of beer (I drink in the streets always SPA BLAUW aqua minerale). Also at busstops you can see men are drinking and in bus and also in the evening ladies drink when they are chatting on street.
I have also seen that a couple came out of supermarket with two bottles of beer and I helped them opening the bottles (I have always a opener in my jack, because in my quality of Chairman of Friends Naturfood I needed more than once an opener and it is also polite to ladies to open their bottles)

Vodka is also a normal drink for ladies, like water is normal for dutch ladies and for me,  and I have seen one older lady, 70 years, who drink each evening more then 2 liter vodka, go asleep and next morning feeling good again. But in my opinion it damage your liver and organs, which organs have their own spirits and by drinking so it influence very much your whole behaviour.
Also young woman  drink very much vodka / wodka and it is normal on parties that people can stay for a overnight. The accomodation is in many houses or can be in a simple way created.
