Toast in the Russian feast is important, and there are usually a lot of them. Drinking before their utterance is considered "very impolite".

Pilipovich also advises not to mix vodka with beer: "You will have a hard hangover and an unbearable headache."

Most importantly, you don’t need to compete with local people in the issue of booze. "This is a different culture of drinking. They will overdrink you ", - said Pilipovich.
