Don't drink Old Rasputin "Russian" beer
You see, it comes with four bottles. Doesn't seem like much, but I am drunk. The label says 9% alcohol. I think that is double of a normal beer. Well, how was I to know?

2. Where can I find that?
9% is kind of high, but I do like my beer strong.

most American beer is around 3.5-4%, at least the big mass produced ones like Bud and Miller.

4. It almost makes me want to drink beer, but not quite.
I'll stick with vodka.

5. Old Rasputin is wonderful stuff.
One of my favourites.

That particular style is called "Russian Imperial Stout" because it was made for the export market; the higher alcohol content helped it keep better on the voyage by ship from London to Saint Petersburg (it was quite popular at the Imperial court in the days of the Romanovs).
