towndwarfДА, КСТАТИ: Мы с 
Oлей идём сейчас обедать с Олей - Душой Нараспашку, у которой сегодня день рождения :-)... так что, возможно - сия инструкция очень даже пригодится ;-)
This is a real guide printed in the menu and published on a Web site
of one of Chicago restaurants:
For many Russians and former Soviets, the genuine act of drinking
vodka constitutes a very special, if not hallowed, ceremony. We'll
give you the rules and the tools; you read, observe, and... enjoy!
1. Your shot of iced vodka is served straight up in a chilled 2 oz.
glass and is accompanied by traditional morsels - pickled cucumber and
pumpernickel bread bite. Have it within a reach.
2. Announce a brief toast "Za Zdorovie!" ("To Health"), or better yet,
"Vashe Zdorovie!" ("Your Health"). Smell your piece of bread thoroughly.
3. Ceremonially say, "Nu.." ("So..."). Take a deep breath. Slope your
head right back, and down-empty the entire shot (of course, just half
of our 2 oz. shot is O.K. too).
4. Breathe out loudly, producing a sound just short of a full whistle.
Smell your slice of black bread in a quick ritual gesture. (Some
people smell their sleeves, but this is optional).
5. Eat your chaser consciously but quickly.
6. Say, "Oh Khorosho" ("It feels good"), or "Khorosho poshla" (It went
down well").
7. Repeat the round in 10-15 minutes. But make sure to desist and
retire as soon as your performance becomes blemished in any way.
