  1. " ol'boy from Kentucky who drank a half gallon of cheap whiskey every day of his life. " from medical point of view your story ounds very unbelivable, including the part that he was able to work so well... There are different stages of alcoholism, if he would drink so much he would be dead before geting to the old age, more likely he started slow and you met him at the end of the road. Also the west is so rich becaise people trying to work smart not hard... and it is not posible when you are constantly drunk. And yes i saw my share of heavy drinkers in my life... girl from my highschool married an alcoholic, he died in hospital at age of 42... because he was not drinking for a week -> it was too much for his brain -> he ended in mental hospital and few days later he died->and your story sugest that you can function whole life normaly when drinking half gallon of whiskey every day of your life... I got a heavy drinker in my family that in communist times managed to change job 13 times in single year -> and geting kicked out of a job in a communist country was not an easy task. Never saw or heard about an alcoholic that got happy life... its always a constant strugle betwen staying sober and not getting into trouble when you failed to stay sober -> in the end there is zero joy from your life...

  2.  @jakefuck641  Its chemical addiction there is nothing to understand...the live in USSR was crap and in Russia was and is crap->so people taking the road to not be aware what is going on with also not realising how wrong move it is... Also the fact that Soviet companies were selling vodka in factory is a solid prove that you do not need to go back to the time of serfs... ->especialy that serf would not have money to drink 200 botles of wodka per year ->you would need to be a rich noble to have money to do that in XVIII century...

  3.  @joeysworldsewer  Alcoholics like to buy cheap liquor because they can drink much more of it(and most of the time they are unable to have for any significant amount of time any good paying job...). Also there is no "love" in this whole bussines, it is just pure chemical addiction with very nast consequences for the drinking guy and everyone silly enoght to be with someone like that...
