Unfortunately it has become a pop culture joke. Most popular vodkas (smirnoff, absolut) are absolut shit and made in Sweden or Finland or something. Real and good vodka must be made in a slavic country. There is an ongoing argument with Poland and Russia over who created the drink. There is more evidence that says Poland coined the term vodka(wódka) for it and first started mass consumption of it. However, it was most likely created by persians or arabs. Slavic and also celtic people have the highest alcohol tolerances.

A drink that can be either complete shit or damn fine. Has one of the most delicate tastes if properly filtered. Quartz filtered vodka recomended over a charcoal filter

Has 3 meanings:

1. Clear alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain or potatoes

2. Water in Russia, since most water found in russia that is not frozen is hazordous to your health and may be fatal

3. God in Russia, the Russian God, or, the God of the Russian people, or perhaps just the poor bums on the streets of Russia

Basically, alcohol mixed with water. An alternative to just plain raw alcohol, invented by people who did not die like 4 seconds after drinking it (and apparently wanted more). Go to any spot in Russia you can buy it for like 50 kopeiks (2 cents) a bottle

Comes from the Russian word "water" (meaning that the Russians practically drink it as if it was water)

The only thing better than whiskey.

Vodka is lube
