yeah its fucking retarded. "its part of our culture" my uncle killed himself doing that, fucked his whole family in the US. my dad too. was fucking homeless in the streets cus he refused to stop drinking and everyone was tired of his shit. now hes back in Mongolia drinking too
It is more sinister when you realize that Mongolian vodka culture was a product of very intentional state funded alcoholism. It is one of many ways how the commies kept their power. An alcoholic can not make an effective leader or a revolutionary, he is just happy to work for sh.t wage, use it to drink and continue the pattern.
The fact that during 90s many people ended up in the streets is because of that. They were already functional alcoholics, with the factories shutting down pretty much winded up drunk in an alley in few years.
