You have to keep in mind how much they weigh... they don't weigh as much as you land whales so three drinks is a lot.

Wouldn't that article be better if it contained the word 'Hockey' in it somewhere?

Russia head coach Vladimir Krikunov has acclaimed the virtues of at least three shots of vodka as a remedy for post-game stress.

It probably works for pre-game stress, too. And if it doesn't, *fills shot glass* who cares? :-)

Hey starshipPoophead, if you think we want the fatties, you're sadly mistaken. There's just not enough discrimination in america to make them lose the wieght.

Why is this news? All Russians drink Vodka. Baby formula is 80% Vodka in Russia. What? That's not true? All tits in Russia give 25% breast milk and 75% Vodka.

What do you call three shots of vodka after a stressful day at work?

A good start.

/Yes, here all week.

Drew, why do you hate the Russians?
It's not their fault that their inanimate objects frequently perform the act that is usually done upon them.

FYI a little tidbit here:

In Russia and the old soviet states often times the vodka comes in bottles that you can't close. They don't expect you to have to store half of it for later. They just expect you to work your way through the whole thing.

My Russian fencing coach always used to reccomend drinking several glasses of vodka the night before a match. He said you fenced your best when you were hung over, because you were _very_ aware of your body, and since all you wanted to do was finish it quickly and go back to bed, it kept you from ever hesitating when you shouldn't.

I was really sick at work with the flu last winter. My Russian coworker came to my desk and asked if I wanted to know a great Russian cure for the flu.

Before you go to work pour three shots of vodka and add as much pepper as you can to them. Shoot them and head to work.

I was all ... WTF Comrade?

For this past New Years Eve I went to a Russian party. Damn, those people can drink! I told a big Russian woman about the flu cure and she agreed that it works. She also told me about how when she was a kid her mom would give her vodka to gargle when she had a sore throat.

Incredible!

That's exactly wha I was thinking. Whoever edited that piece down needs to be slapped in the head.

Pepper overdosing has been a home-remedy for years, and it works. The vodka is just an excuse to get drunk.

Yes, they can... which explains a lot about how they look and act.

As for the sore throat cure - yeah it works. Listerine works as well (it has a lot of alcohol in it). I heard about the Listerine trick from Lance Armstrong's reality show - he goes through is luggage and mentions how he always carries a bottle of Listerine with him during races. If he feels a sore throat, he gargles with it before the next day's stage and feels better.

Yeah for sure. At this party there was much singing and dancing. I didn't understand 99% of what people were saying but I did have the forsight to learn 'Nu budyem' which basically is the toast "To your health". That went over very well. :)

Why 3? Because 4 is too many and 2's not enough...
