    Never tried vodka and do not want to.
    In my case the most common drinks are coffee and juice. Tea is not something I drink very often – just don’t like it very much.

    Tea in the morning,
    tea at lunch,
    tea at dinner,
    ‘stead of fruit punch.

    I made this poem myself (lol). Yeah, they drink a lot of black tea. It’s good for the stomach and liver and breaks down the fat.

    Tea is like number one drink, anytime you go over someone’s house the first thing they offer you is some tea. Russians love tea.

    Tea. With breakfast, lunch and dinner (for me at least).
    Some of the younger people that watch too much TV think that somehow they will be cooler if they drink coffee. Personally, I can’t stand coffee (it stains your teeth and gives you horrible breath), but, as they say, to each his own.

    Only alcoholics drink Vodka that frequently as your question made it sound. They drink tea daily. They drink tea more than they drink Vodka. Sometimes they drink vodka. The next most common drink would be Georgian wine. But they drink vodka and Georgian wine at special dinner, holidays. I don’t think they’re serious coffee drinkers. they drink more tea than coffee. When they do drink coffee it’s much stronger, blacker than American coffee. very strong and small amount.
