That has been argued over a number of airplanes. Truth or fiction?? Who knows...
Also, to IIICorps - you are nuts to try to keep up with a Russian drinking.
You think they are tough traffic. Try keeping up with the Swedes and their aquavit.
I thought the Russians would be slurping vodka but no... brandy. And no sips.. toss the shot down. True story... in St Petersburg in spring and we hammer down a few. I go back to the hotel and when I wake I figure the best thing is to do a few miles and try to sweat the hangover out. I go out jogging in St Petersburg and note that I am getting some odd looks. Why? That time of year you can read a newspaper in the ambient light at 3AM. So, here is the dumb American jogging at 3AM.. (I have to laugh at when I think of how many times I have been clueless and am still around)
