"I watched you for a while, Ivan, and I gotta ask: why vodka? Why not wine or beer?" "Because Motherland is [[GrimUpNorth too cold to make wine]] and [[DrowningMySorrows too shitty to stop at beer]]."
* '''Conversed''': ???"Why do you think it's a stereotype that Russians only drink vodka?" "Not sure, but I think it has a lot to do with getting enough bang for your buck. I know one Russian, and he says vodka is more cost-effective if you want to get wasted."
* '''Implied''': It's never actually told Ivan drinks a lot of vodka, but when the heroes visit him, he's still sleeping away the hangover from last night, and there are four empty vodka bottles in the trash.
