"Russia Classifies Beer as Alcoholic"

This brings a tear to my eye. You used to be able to buy beer everywhere at anytime of day and drink it virtually anywhere.

In Soviet Russia, beer = alcoholic!!!

Meanwhile, vodka continues to flow as water

“Russian alcohol consumption is already twice the critical level set by the World Health Organization.”

Not too bad, I think Korea is about 10x.
