Russia

Dom and Pete head east to visit Russia, a country that consumes 80% of the world's vodka. The relationship with vodka is well documented, highlighted earlier this year by the nation’s outcry at the sudden shortages of their favourite spirit, sparking fears of riots when production came to a standstill. Joly hilariously visited Russia, trying 80% proof homemade vodka known as Samogon. He explains "You have an hour where you feel you can take on the world, then you black out. But because it’s almost pure alcohol, no hangover - sadly because I can’t remember it, I don’t know if it’s worth doing."
