Yeah there are a lot of things you can't do when you're half drunk all the time.
I think stats show that Russians are less drunk generally than Scandinavians (not a very surprising statement admittedly) and Baltic people and even Armenians and Georgians. And than Irish (again no surprise I suppose).
What Russians are, according to stats, is people who have tea too often. And I don't think that had a negative effect on the British Empire, but then UK might be more drunk generally than Russia.
So perhaps being drunk is, in some unknown way, a civilization-level advantage.
I can get behind that.
It's actually advanced chip production. They can't buy them because those chips are also really good for weapons. And making them requires tech they don't have. (But will at some point)
