How muck vodka do Russians drink?

Answer 1

Vodka is the national drink of Russia. Like many other countries often you will find that popular alcoholic drinks are directly related to common crops from the region. Good ol fashioned vodka was made from potatoes and potatoes were a very common crop in Russia. So, they made the drink from what they had and that was potatoes. Another example is the popularity of rum in the island nations. Rum is made from the sugar cane common to the region.

Answer 2

During Joseph Stalin's rule in the Communist Soviet Union he established a 5-year plan system one of the 5-year plan's dealt with Industrial improvement. The people of the Soviet Union were overworked and underpaid, and the government knew that realistically they would need to appease these people so they don't attempt to revolt/strike/oppose this new government. The government's solution to this problem was making Vodka (and ONLY vodka) available at a very inexpensive price, and they made it always available so the people could drink whenever they pleased. With vodka cheap and constantly available it wasn't long before it became the most popular and most frequently drank alcohol in Russia, and it is a large part of the culture today.
