I worked with some Russians a while back. They were doing the roofing on a school I worked on. The forklift operater on that job turned their forklift over destroying it, and broke a sign and electric panel. They drank Red bull and vodka all day long.
They would work from daylight til dark in the middle of july, in the sun, on the roof, hammered on Vodka & Bull.
