I was just talking to a Russian who moved here when he was 13.
He still goes back to visit his dad about 3 times a year piggy-backing it on business trips.
He says we think we have alcohol abuse here in the US.
It's nothing compared to Russia. Not even close.
He brought up the availability of public transportation in even little towns (like the one we live in.)
In Russia drunk driving gets you 6 months in jail automatically.
So, I said that probably enables alcoholics and that stiff immediate sentence is worthless.
He paused and basically agreed that public transportation could be a factor.
Drunk driving isn't a big problem but just plain drinking is rampant.
Fun times indeed.
is no reason to start making up
"Russia friend" stories.
. That was embarrassing.
