The effects of alcohol consumption due to global financial crisis

According to Time Magazine:

What They're Drinking in Russia:

"Russians have had a taste for vodka since the Czars, but consumers are cutting back amid the global financial crunch. Even though manufacturers slashed vodka production 15% because of slumping demand, stores are saddled with some 22 million gallons of unsold spirits--six times their inventory of a year ago, according to an industry group. Meanwhile, alcohol-poisoning fatalities are on the rise, reportedly as drinkers turn to cheap, homemade liquor instead."

In bad times, we have to cut down costs and save more. But in bad times, trimming down the excessive consumerism lifestyle can lead into fatality.... Tsk tsk... All I can say is... SMB Lite is the best!! In times like these, we need something cheap yet reliably good and less filling.

Doncha just lurvvee beer by the beach??

But if you're into that cost-cutting s**t, you wanna know how to make vodka? Check out this site: www.crazynfunny.com/how-to-make-vodka/stories/

Why make? We have friends working at liquor companies like Diageo and will get us some discounts. Or why vodka when you have the good 'ol SMB around? Hehehe!
