Vodka etiquette

As simple as the idea of drinking vodka may seem, there are a few things one must know for proper vodka etiquette. Let us further explore the procedure of vodka drinking.

First Rule

 drink what is served to you in one gulp. Nobody measures the quantity of alcohol poured, this is left to the discretion of the pourer.

Second Rule

 never sip or mix vodka. Mixing is perceived as a western way of doing things since orange juice is often more expensive than the vodka itself.

Third Rule

 always buy back a round of drinks to everybody that treats you. Although this step might seem like a difficult one when your senses are altered after a few too many intakes of Russia's little water , this is expected. Failing to follow this courtesy might land you a first class spot on the vodka black list.
