I went to Russia twice in 2003, Moscow and Yaroslavl. Saw lots of people drinking in public, especially in the summer. One day we were hanging around in downtown Moscow near Red Square drinking pivo and eating kookarooza. They had port-o-potties set up, presumably for people who had to pee from the drinking. Then one night in Yaroslavl we hung out drinking in this big outdoor tent, I think it was Baltika or Yarpivo. I was also amazed to see people in cars openly drinking beer while driving. It seemed refreshingly free and informal, but I'm sure there were social consequences that I didn't notice in that short period of time.
