Vodka Prices Won't Stop Russians

From The Globe and Mail:
"Russia's vodka drinkers get New Year headache "

I don't really think this will keep Russians from having their vodka. They seem to have to have it for any or no occasion. I remember always being told by my Russian friends that I had to have a drink because it would keep me warm (they told me this when it was -50 F and when it was 80 F out.) It is just their culture. In their blood. There have been other attempts (most recently in the 1980s) to ration vodka. It didn't work at all then and like I said above - I don't think it will work now.
