Actually the story about drunken Russians is a same sort like a story of bears with balalaika and babushka on Russian streets. This story is a commercial product for foreigns like matryoshka. I don't what to say that Russians don't like to drink. They like it a lot, but still much less than the UK people for example.
In big cities an average employee is sober all the year long except for corporatives... These are crazy holidays (a couple times a year) when a company where you work buys a restaurant for a night. If you have never been to any, I'll try to describe it as a real madness and endless alcohol rally. It's a place where everybody does absolutely nasty things (wanna get laid with the sexy accountant Sveta - here you go, man!) I've been to a couple of corporatives in 90's when I was working in some offline company and I can tell you - everything you can see on the videos is truth (90% of the real action is just not acceptable according to the youtube TOS)...
They start like this:
Continue like this:
And they end up like [consored], because what happens in corporative stays in corporative...
People here calls its a RESET, when they work all the year w/o any vacations or rest, having no time for a personal life or even for a casual sex (especially for women which are majority in Russia - there is a lack of men here), they use those few days in a year to get it all. Once again, they are not alcoholics because they don't drink every day or every week or every month, but when they've got a chance.. they've got drunk into shit.
