Evgenia Kulish aka Enia writes: "Agree, an ordinary restaurant (and even more so with a "drinking" orientation) has not surprised anyone for a long time ... And in order for the institution to become famous and popular with visitors, restaurateurs have to go to various tricks and tricks ... Someone gets live cats, someone books he puts them on the shelves, someone shocks with the interior! Everyone turns out differently... some are bad, others are better… And someone is just brilliant!

Drink vodka somewhere on a Friday night? Corny and vulgar… And go to the VODKA MUSEUM and taste a profile drink at the same time? It's a completely different alignment, isn't it?"

If the cavalry guards considered the lack of any chic to be chic, then drunkenness and prowess became legendary in the Life Guards Cavalry Regiment. Nicholas II, the august chief of the regiment, wrote in his diary: "Yesterday ... in the cavalry regiment. Drank 147 bottles of champagne… I woke up – it was like a squadron spent the night in my mouth..."

12. State-owned distilleries, equipped with old and antediluvian equipment, lost a huge amount of valuable product. "With such a bad device, it is easy to imagine how much valuable product disappears… Academician Palegas complained.

"Who will make such cubes that are used in England, we will recognize this not only about our own self-interest, but also about the benefits of the state as a zealous son of the Fatherland!" Empress Catherine II
