All classic wines have their own rules for their use. Vodka has fewer such rules than wine. The rules for drinking vodka are very useful to know and put into practice.
First of all, you need to consider that in modern reality there is a chance even in a store to buy a fake. The most unreliable is cheap vodka. Cheap vodka is counterfeited more often. The high price gives a certain guarantee of the quality of alcohol. Having bought vodka in the store, you can not immediately start drinking it. Not all stores store vodka in the refrigerator, so the contents in the bottle will most likely be at room temperature. The drink must be cooled to 8-10 ° C. You need exactly this temperature, vodka does not need to be frozen. Before the feast begins, it will be good to drink 50 grams, approximately two hours before the start. So you prepare the body for the processing of alcohol.
You can also drink activated charcoal before drinking alcohol. One tablet per ten kilograms of body weight. Charcoal is a good absorbent and you won’t get drunk as quickly. Coal also removes harmful substances from the body, and this is especially useful if there is no confidence in the quality of vodka. Properly serve vodka on the table in a special decanter with a lid. You can, of course, put on the table and a bottle. A classic vodka glass holds 50 grams of alcohol.
The culture of drinking alcohol does not recommend drinking vodka in glasses and in one gulp. Vodka, like a noble drink, is drunk in small sips. Vodka is not washed down with other drinks. Vodka needs to be eaten. If you need to drink vodka, then it should be a drink like fruit drink. Carbonated drinks are not suitable for drinking vodka. Due to the gas bubbles in these drinks, alcohol will only enter the bloodstream faster, and intoxication occurs much earlier. A headache will be provided the next morning if you drink beer, wine or other drinks that are not as strong as the vodka itself. If you drink like this often, you will have to use the services of getting rid of hard drinking at home. Close to disaster.
Vodka should always be accompanied by a snack. This rule has been developed over the years. You need to eat vodka with both cold and hot dishes. Traditional Russian snacks for vodka are jelly, lard, ham, boiled veal. Fish appetizer includes herring, salted sprat, salmon, pink salmon, red and black caviar. Vegetable snack — vinaigrette, boiled potatoes, sauerkraut, pickled tomatoes and cucumbers, pickled or pickled mushrooms, pickled apples. Pickled cucumber is the perfect snack.
It is good to eat vodka with boiled beef, fried pork, saltwort, dumplings. And fresh tomatoes, boiled fish, parsley, sausage, cheese are not recommended for use as an appetizer for vodka. Proper drinking of vodka does not lead to a hangover. You need to drink slowly, stretching the pleasure, have a good snack. Then vodka gives a stimulating effect. Drink in moderation. Everyone is able to determine when alcohol has already been drunk enough. Many people believe that if you have already drunk enough, then you need to go out into the fresh air, into the cold. But this opinion is wrong. Such walks can end in loss of consciousness.
In conclusion, very simple rules:
— strong alcohol is not drunk on an empty stomach, in extreme heat, and with strong thirst;
— quality vodka, drunk in reasonable quantities, and a good snack will never do harm.
