Russian Beer on the Go

Say it ain't so! One of the relaxing aspects of my vacations in Russia is drinking beer outside, in a consequence free environment! Living in the US, consuming beer outside, in public view, is frowned upon. I love the idea of buying a beer at a kiosk or shop and being able to sip it while sitting in a park, or walking down the sidewalk.

I understand the premise, Russia does have an alcohol problem, but this is another case of punishing all, for the actions of a few. I can imagine that buying beer or wine in Russia will be like it is in the US in a couple of years.

I suppose that I'll have to rely on my memories of fishing on grassy shores, swigging a Yarpivo beer, to get me throught the rest of the day.
