Alcohol was originally designed as a genetic weapon, not for partying purposes as advertised and promoted today.
As the KGB professor says, Russia didn’t need wars, alcohol literally and figuratively destroyed the country, men couldn’t even reach the age of 55 due to liver failures, and all sorts of health related issues.
All it took was decades of indoctrination and programming that Russians must have a glass of alcohol next to them as the only way for them to be considered “real men”.
Anyways, this video is worth watching in its entirety, however the KGB lecture starts at 4:54.
