"One should know his norm -- once he's drunk three litres it's time to calm down and stop," Putin said.

Lightweight.

Three liters? That much beer in one sitting, and I'm puking 'cause I'm over full. 3 liters of booze? I'm probably dead.

3 liters?? Come on, that's nothing! Of course, I'm going by the "liter mugs" at the local beer garden, and assuming that they are indeed actually 1 liter each mug.

/Wait, I remember losing count after 2, so maybe 3 is a lot.

"It would not necessarily trigger a wave of alcohol abuse and mayhem in the bleachers," one fan said, adding that "they sell beer at stadiums in Europe and elsewhere".

Yeah, God knows there's never any mayhem at football stadiums in Europe. Or South America. Or anywhere else.

Am I wrong or should that be "egregious errors"? Grievous errors doesn't sound right.

On-topic:

Yay, for Russia? I guess. I don't know. Will this affect my alcohol supply?

hmm lesse here: 3l ~ 3 quarts= 96 oz of beer? Most I ever drank at one sitting (in a deliberate attempt to get drunk to find out what it would take to do so-the kinda stupid stuff you do when you are 18) was 18 12oz cups of beer= 216 oz in about an hour. I recall thinking I wsn't even drunk, though witnesses beg to differ. I tend to believe them inasmuch as my last act of the night was to throw a nearly 400 Lb dormmate into a piggyback carry on my back and walk the six blocks home. A feat I'm quite sure I've never been capbable of before or since.

It's 6 beers in almost two hours (90 + stoppage + halftime). I think most people are at least feeling it by 6, and some people are flat out drunk.

They would be better off changing the start times if they are worried about drunks. These 6 beers don't account for everything you drank at the pub next to the stadium and on the walk there.

"Alcohol abuse is a major problem in Russia, where more than half of all deaths among people aged 15 to 54 are caused by alcohol, according to the international medical journal The Lancet."

Holy fark, really?

What kind of pussy drinks beer in Russia? It's all about that non-methanol denatured alcohol.

/Bittering agents is an acquired taste.

He's gonna give back Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring?

Haha...I'll take it!
