But if you look at alcohol consumption in 1913. -- there are statistics like that:

-- i.e. in terms of the amount of vodka drunk, Russia did not stand out from Europe

 
Andrey F. Zelinsky:
Yes, wrong by a thousand.

Still, it doesn't seem realistic to me that Russians drank 2 billion bottles of vodka. If we exclude children, peasants for whom vodka was only available on holidays, as it was expensive for them, and moonshine, then it is too much per snout. Unless, of course, the rest drank like Lieutenant Rzhevsky.

- Lieutenant, can you drink two bottles at a time?

-Easy!

- How about five?

- I can!

- Can you drink a bucket of vodka?

- Not a whole one. But I'll drink a lot!

not "Russians", but the population of the Russian Empire - an area larger than the territory of the USSR

and the statistics refer to litres of alcohol, which includes not only vodka, but also beer, wine and other drinks

p.s. But the problem is like a problem from a junior high school textbook - most likely a cheat.

The Poles must have drank so much vodka. :) Poland was part of the Russian empire at the time.
