Bad news for our Russian friends . . .

Russia sets minimum price for vodka

The Russian government has set a minimum price for vodka that more than doubles the cost of the cheapest vodka on the market.
The minimum price of 89 rubles ($3) for a half liter of vodka (17 ounces) went into effect Friday, the start of the 12-day New Year's and Orthodox Christmas holiday, when alcohol consumption is at its highest.
Sorry, Ivan, Dimitri, Little Dog . . . But you guys should have been drinking the expensive stuff anyway.
