Cheers to my visitors who should be arriving shortly!
“…hence the act of getting drunk is a part of our national identity.” I like to think that instead of waving flags, we drink beer.
Comment on CanCulture and let us know what your favourite beer is!
This is a special post, to plug tonight’s event with local filmmaker Matt Finlin and start a whisper campaign for his recently completed documentary Below New York. See you there.
Actually, I was part of a lively discussion in my Transition Economies class where we discussed the stereotype of Russians drinking too much/being alcoholics as well as the ban on alcohol the govt. tried to implement at one point. Apparently, this caused more harm than good as people tried to make their own fermented alcohols, perfume serving as the most popular base. Russia has one of the highest (reported) rates of domestic violence and this poster seems to be an effort in linking alcohol and abuse.
