Russians and Drinking Alcoholic Beverages

One of the most prominent Russian traditions is heavy drinking. Peter the Great was famous for his drinking exhibitions. If you have read ‘Khrushchev Remembers’, you cannot forget his descriptions of Stalin’s long nightly drinking bouts.
Russian winters are long and cold. The Soviet government always kept vodka relatively cheap.
Lynn Visson’s “Wedded Strangers” discusses the reason for Russian cultural attachment to alcohol:
“For years, alcohol was the only form of entertainment. Russians are very reverent toward drinking and drunks. There is a tenderness and even affection that sober Russians have toward their intoxicated brethren.”
Refusing to drink as much as the rest of the company is considered disrespectful.
The more you can drink and hold your liquor, the more the Russians will hold you in high regard. Drinking alone is considered alcoholic. Drinking in company, even to excess, is considered normal behavior.
Russians always have a reason to drink. They drink on holidays, with company, on special occasions, with guests; they drink to births, deaths, and marriages.
They drink to new purchases — they call this ‘washing’ the new acquisition. A Russian never runs out of reasons to drink.
A toast is made by one member of the group after the glasses are filled. After the toast, the shot glass sized glasses of hard liquor (usually vodka) are drained by each member of the party.
Everyone takes a turn making a toast. A simple toast for you to remember is ‘Nas darovia’, which means ‘To Your Health’
Problems Of Excessive Alcohol Consumption

Drinking problems are currently one of the major world burden experienced today because of its great potential of causing many diseases and deaths per annum.One may wonder, the reasons behind the increased number of those who really can handle swallowing multiple bottles in no time, at this age of hard living.Signs that indicate irresistible desire for a drink involve nausea, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, tremors, sleeplessness and neglect of other endeavors in life since lots of time is spent in drinking and recovery process.Addiction problem is not only addressed in terms of the level of consumption but also the drinking patterns.Some come home from worthy jobs and open a bottle of wine, and before they know it, they have finished it off and opening one more to numb their stress.Teenagers will sneak from home with friends during the weekends; they get drunk to test their limits and have fun.The no- brains- for- alcohol drinker fears ever going to parties because after only one or two glasses, they feel either drunk or faintly ill, yet they feel that they need to drink to relax in social gatherings.The binge drinker on the other hand, is not just one who indulges in huge quantities on a weekend, drinking twice the limit recommended limit in any one setting describe them better.The social drinker do not drink alone at home, but will for always join in assembly when they go out with their friends.All the above can be used to describe the patterns many addicts follows to satisfy their drinking desires but what they do not realize is that they loose a lot in life.Take for example that excessive consumption of alcohol by women has a strong link to elevated chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer and risk of tumors stimulated by their reproductive hormones.Alcohol is said to interfere with estrogen metabolism that in turn raises the risk of hormone sensitive disease like breast cancer.The risks of heart attack and abrupt deaths have been associated with drinking problems even some facts that moderate consumption may favor heart functioning.As well, many mental illness, suicidal thoughts and shots, depression and anxiety cases are as a result of drinking.But at times, stressful lifestyle may instigate the excessive alcohol use problem as a way of escaping the reality of an individual life.Cases of stomach ulcers are to some extent believed to be caused by alcohol because it result in heart burns while raising the risk of cancer of food- pipe.Additionally, it interferes with normal absorption process in the gut and raises the conveyance of toxins across the intestinal walls contributing to damage of major organs like the liver.Moving away from drinking and health issues, alcohol is attributable to many of the road accident cases when drivers are under the influence alcohol.Also domestic violence is much worse when both or one spouse drinks excessively and cause unnecessary fights.Another association it has is that of risky sexual habits like premarital and extramarital affairs that may cause serious venereal diseases like HIV/AIDS.As you can see, there is nothing to smile about an extreme drunkard or being close to one and doing nothing to stop it.There is help for these cases, and it is wise to help an addict by giving them all the support you would require if you were in their position!
Understanding Your Blood Alcohol Level

Your blood alcohol level (BAC) identifies the amount of alcohol present in your blood stream. Alcohol gets absorbed directly by your blood, making it relatively easy to test for. It does not get digested first like food does. Whereas it may take several hours for the nutrients in food to be absorbed by your blood stream and distributed to your cells and organs, alcohol can be absorbed and distributed within about 50 minutes.
Your rate of metabolism is a major factor in determining how quickly your body will process and eliminate alcohol from its system. Your liver is responsible for processing alcohol, and it is then expelled through your sweat, breath, and urine. The quicker your metabolism, the quicker your liver will process the alcohol in your system.
On average, most people can process and eliminate one drink per hour. One drink is considered:
Your BAC will start to rise at a rate of .02 for every drink you consume above one an hour. As your BAC rises, your organs become more and more saturated with alcohol, causing you to feel intoxicated.
The breathalyzer machine tests the alcohol level of the air in your lungs. There is a direct ratio of 2100:1 linking the alcohol concentration in your lungs to the alcohol concentration in your blood. In other words, every 2100 milliliters of air has the exact same alcohol content as 1 milliliter of blood.
In order for a breath test to accurately determine your BAC, you will need to supply a continuous breath sample of at least 30 seconds. The passage of time will not necessarily lower your BAC. If you have consumed several alcoholic beverages just prior to getting behind the wheel, your body will continue to process this alcohol over the next hour or two. Therefore, it is possible to have a higher BAC when you reach the police station than you did while driving.
Blood tests are not used as frequently as breath tests because they are considered a more invasive procedure and your blood sample will need to be sent to a lab, causing it to take longer to receive the results. However, blood tests are the method of choice when you are under suspicion of being impaired by drugs.
It is important to understand what is being tested when you are given a blood test. Some labs test whole blood while others test plasma or serum. This will have a big impact on your BAC.
Whole blood is made up of cellular material, plasma, and fibrinogen (a clotting agent). If the solid material is removed, you are left with plasma or serum (plasma without fibrinogen). If the lab is testing your plasma or serum, it will give you an artificially high BAC.
This occurs because when the cellular material is removed by centrifuge, you are left with the same amount of alcohol in a smaller volume of liquid. This will increase the concentration of alcohol in the blood liquid. Serum or plasma BAC measurements are generally about 16% higher than whole blood BAC measurements. This is a big difference.
It is a good idea to ask the lab technician what is being tested. If he is testing plasma or serum, you can expect to be considered more intoxicated than you actually are. This is important information to provide to your DUI attorney.
If you are charged with a DUI, it is important to seek the assistance of an attorney experienced in handling DUI cases. The consequences of a DUI conviction are severe, and can result in serious fines, jail time, loss of license, cancellation of your insurance policy, and potential employment problems. A DUI lawyer can help keep the damage from these charges to a minimum.
If you have been charged with a DUI in the Baltimore, Annapolis, Glen Burnie, or Columbia, Maryland areas, please contact the law offices of Jimeno & Gray, P.A. today to schedule an initial consultation.
Panic Attacks; Alcohol

Alcohol. A glass of wine, a bottle of beer, even a shot of whiskey. These things are all supposed to take the edge off, right?I mean, when you’re out on the weekend or after work doesn’t a glassful of beer or wine make you more laid-back?Sure it does, so how does this synch with panic attacks? On the surface it doesn’t make much sense, but once you understand the underlying issues it all makes sense.We have to take a closer inspection of what alcohol does to the body and to the brain to really make sense of it. See, alcohol in very small doses for most people doesn’t cause any problems.But, people who drink don’t usually drink in moderate doses, do they? We drink too much and it gets our body and brains out of sync. It drains your body of precious minerals and vitamins. What does this do? It drains your bodies ability to feel right and calm because it can’t produce the neurochemicals needed to do so!It impairs your liver too. So, you say, what’s the huge deal?Well, your liver is one of the vital organs responsible for making serotonin, gaba and other neurotransmitters which calm you down and keep you from having panic attacks. Did you ever notice that when you imbibe alcohol you feel very relaxed but then the next day and for days later you’re having panic attacks. Now you know why.I used to be a bad drinker. I drank way, way too much and I began having anxiety or panic attacks on a regular basis. I just couldn’t figure out what they were or why I was having them.It was only when it got really negative that I started doing some research and started working on my self. Things got better. I stopped drinking so much, started exercising and in general started feeling much, much better.Unfortunately, I was still getting the attacks no matter what I did. So, I dug a little more fiercely. That’s when I found the one move technique. It’s basicially a cognitve trick that trains your brain to switch from the reasonless midbrain to the rational forebrain area.It’s like magic. It truly works and it’s saved me from having the sweating, nausea, feelings of unreality, trembling, fear of crowds, etc that were making my life down right unfun. Don’t wait like I did to do something about your panic attacks, alcohol can be easily contained.And when you put in the other pieces of the puzzle….well, it’s like striking gold.

Saliva drug test or Oral drug test is the ideal for drug testing at both home and work place. These tests are equivalent to urine drug test in accuracy, process, quick results etc. This is an efficient form of drug testing and enables to employ the random drug testing programs. This is one of the popular drug test methods used to find drug abuse instantly.OrAlert oral test detects the six most common abused drugs. This test detects the abnormal concentrations of different drugs at a time using oral fluids. Collection of specimen for this test is simple without any issues of adulteration or manipulation.Why is the test conducted?OrAlert oral test detects the increased levels of drug concentrations in human oral fluid. This test is used to detect the presence of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, phencyclidine and their metabolites in oral fluids by utilizing the monoclonal antibodies.How to do the test:Allow the OrAlert oral fluid drug screen device to reach the room temperature before testing. Use the test as soon as possible after removing the test device and the cap from the sealed pouch. Insert the sponge end of the collector into the mouth between the tongue and upper portion the mouth. As the sponge softens slightly, the donor should press the sponge between tongue and teeth to ensure the complete saturation. Insert the collector in the mouth for three minutes. Then insert the collector into the test device by pushing it into the chamber and turning the collector clockwise. Wait for a minute, rotate the collection chamber anticlockwise and set the timer for nine minutes. Take the results after nine minutes.Interpretation:For a positive result, when the drug concentration is above the detectable level, a colored line appears in the control region (C) and no line appears in the test region (Drug /T). For a negative result, two lines appear. One colored line in the control region(C) and another apparent colored line appears in the adjacent test region (Drug/T). Control lines fail to appear in an invalid result that can be caused by insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques.This test provides preliminary analytical test results. In order to obtain confirmed analytical results, more specific alternate chemical methods like Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) can be administered, particularly when preliminary results are positive.OrAlert Oral Test is simple and fast that can be conducted by anyone. It is a donor friendly system, which is hassle-free to detect multiple drugs at on shot.
How Homeopathic Sub-Lingual HCG Drops Differ from HCG Shots
January 19, 2010 by The Cocktail Lounge
Filed under Alcohol Shots
Homeopathic HCG drops have steadily gained in popularity recently because so many dieters are adverse to HCG shots. Originally, Dr. Simeons’ protocol called for injecting HCG into the muscle several times daily, to replenish the body’s natural reserve of HCG. Now, however, both physicians and dieters have observed similar results by using oral HCG.
What is homeopathic HCG?
Homeopathic HCG is obtained using a method known as oligotherapy, in which a small but potent amount of HCG is obtained using the standard homeopathic practice of dilution. Under the general principles of homeopathy, a small but potent dosage of a vitamin or mineral carries the same impact as a regular but not highly potent dose. Therefore, the homeopathic sublingual drops are just as potent (if not more) than HCG shots.
Is oral HCG as effective as injectable HCG?
According to various studies, dieters had the same rate of successful weight loss when they used the oral HCG drops as when they were taking shots. Physicians who observed these dieters noticed the same amount of weight loss, or in some cases, even greater weight loss, than dieters who stayed with HCG injections. These same dieters reported feeling less hunger between meals and more energy than when they used injectable HCG.
Can oral HCG be obtained without a prescription?
Injectable HCG can only be obtained with a prescription within the United States. Do not buy injectable HCG from a supplier in the United States–it is dangerous and illegal. Only homeopathic HCG drops are available without a prescription. Make sure the supplier you choose has a lab that complies with the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. The HPUS maintains the strictest standards for the manufacture of homeopathic remedies.
Is Oral HCG painful to take?
No. Oral HCG drops are painless and virtually effortless to take. Simply place a few drops under your tongue using an oral syringe. HCG shots must be given in the muscle, but oral drops are ingestible.
Does oral HCG require refrigeration?
No. HCG hormone is diluted and mixed with a 16% usp solution of alcohol, which makes it ingestible and also acts as a preservative. This means that oral HCG drops do not require refrigeration; nor do they have an expiration date.
If manufactured by a reputable lab, the HCG drops are just as effective as HCG shots. They are certainly more convenient and far less painful than HCG injections. Sublingual HCG drops are definitely a viable option for dieters who want to stick with the HCG weight loss cure without using HCG injections.

Alcoholic Wedding Favors

Giving alcoholic wedding favors may seem a little retro these days considering how the wedding favor industry has exploded with thousands of different products to choose from. But alcoholic favors where once the luxury alternative to mini chocolates or almonds and where often only afforded by those with a big budget!
They are perhaps no so widely marketed these days as they once were, but it is still possible to produce stylish alcoholic favors for an adult only wedding! Here are some ideas:
If your wedding is small and intimate or you have a big budget, then consider half bottles of wine or even champagne. This has to be the ultimate alcoholic favor and you could even add some personalized labels to the bottles.
Liquor chocolates are perhaps not to everyone’s taste so make sure you have a taste test first to find the best flavors. Champagne truffles or brandy laced creams are luxurious choices, but make sure you buy good quality from a reputable chocolatier.
Miniature bottles of popular spirits are perhaps a more retro choice but fun nonetheless. Package them in nice lantern boxes which are sized to fit these little bottles perfectly.
Try your hand at some home brew, either wine, beer or cider. You can purchase bottles wholesale and you can make your own personalized labels on your home computer. Just make sure you start your brewing early enough for your brew to be ready in time for wedding.
There are also many recipes available for making your own vodka and for making flavored vodka’s which can be a stylish favor for a sophisticated wedding. As with home brew though make sure you begin it early enough.
Favor stores offer up sachets of cocktail mixes which can be personalized and printed with a custom design to coordinate with your wedding.
For a festive wedding why not give bottles of mulled wine or sachets of mulled wine spices so your guests can make their own?
Spiced cider is a nice favor idea for a fall wedding.
If you didn’t want to give alcohol itself as wedding favors, then there is a number of alcohol related choices available including:
Chrome corkscrews
Chrome bottle openers
Chrome bottle stoppers
Shot glasses
Wine coasters
Bottle covers
Alcoholic drink recipes such as punch or Irish coffee
5 Manly Alcoholic Drinks
January 16, 2010 by The Cocktail Lounge
Filed under Alcohol Shots
When it comes to alcoholic beverages, there are just some tastes that men prefer. Is it the taste, or is quick transition from sober to plastered? Either way, men tend to drink some pretty hefty drinks nowadays. Here are five extremely manly alcoholic drinks, or in their words, five of the coolest ways to get drunk.
1. Boilermaker- This is simply beer with a shot of whiskey or rum dropped in it. It seems too easy but enough of these will get you tipsy real fast. Even a heavy weight male will be tripping over his feet and falling off bar stools with this mix.
2. Buffalo Sweat- This is three parts bourbon and one part Tabasco. For all those men who like a little kick in their mixers the added hotness from Tabasco sauce can cause the head to get hot in no time. To say the least, they’ll get super drunk.
3. Black Sunday- This is one ounce Everclear, one ounce Wild Turkey 101 Proof Bourbon, and black cheery soda. Of course the soda is just for taste but two different liquors with a 100% plus alcohol level? Um, can you say hammered?
4. Spicy Sandstorm- This one ounce scotch, one ounce gin, ground black pepper, and a splash or two of Tabasco sauce. A little more repulsive than the Buffalo Sweat this spicy mixer gives you the ultimate head rush, a body full of alcohol, and a night of outrageous, drunken behavior.
5. Enpinyo and cow blood- That is, distilled African liquor washed down with pure cow blood, no lie. An indigenous group in Kenya and Tanzania known as the Maasai drink super concentrated enpinyo which is tastefully washed down with some fresh cow blood. Supposedly the blood of the cow works wonders for preventing any type of hangover. With this hardcore ingredient, the enpinyo and cow blood remains at the top of the list for the manliest, albeit most disgusting way to get drunk.
So, what are you waiting for? Try one of these manly drinks out and get drunker faster.
