Litwin only drinks root beer.
Seriously, I am the one who brought it up. I also never claimed Ukrainians don't drink.
Litwin is well known for his biases. He is as open about them as it gets. I think until Russia gets out of Ukraine, you will find a lot of Litwins out there. You'd be surprised. They have deep emotional connections to the holodomor and continuous Russian persecution of that country.
I had part of my family (Jews) shot and thrown in ditches outside Kiev by pro Nazis. I would have a reason to hate certain Ukrainians. I do not. Why? Because their holodomor is studied by we Jews just as Litwin and Ukrainians acknowledge the holocaust-for the same reasons. We do not compare them. We share our common despair. When Ukraine finally liberated itself from Russia it openly made overtures to Israel because it saw Jews in Israel no differently than it sees a nation for Ukrainians. We both get that. Neither of us claim our people are perfect.
Do not read him too literally. He demands equality nothing else for his people.
Your criticism and point is respected by me.

One would be easily forgiven if one is let with the impression from your posts that Ukrainians must be Saints when it comes to alcohol abuse. A quick Google on that subject dispels that impression. I am sure if the Donbass problem was to be settled with in a drinking duel, Ukrainian drinkers would hold their own against their Russian counterparts. Your propaganda is tiresome. If you had been born during the Soviet days you would have been propaganda minister. You demonize with great skill.
