----------------------------------------------------------------

This mod increases the revenue Russia gets from Liquor consumption tax, however, Russia can also get the Temperance Movement journal entry, as they historically did during the vodka protest of 1858. To trigger this Russia will need:

1) A powerful devout or intelligentsia
2) The "political agitation" technology
3) A level 5 or above Food Industry building that is making liquor

Syncretic Cultures by @Caracus

This mod allows similar cultures to merge, becoming "Syncretic", Caracus have decided to ensure parity with this mod, so their merged syncretic Slavic culture also has a liquor obsession!

@Wilhelm Source: White S. Russia goes dry: alcohol, state and society. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; 1996.

As I said earlier, it's probably because Russians prefer to drink large quantities of alcohol at once, so they're better at those techniques you mentioned. The common dark humor about how Russians drink a lot of alcohol at once and it leads to disaster also comes from this.

Also, they may have learned this from the widespread alcoholism and premature deaths that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. But this was actually an anomalous period in Russian history.

In fact, the obsession with tea better reflects the Russians' narcotic consumption preferences.

@Unmitigated Disaster

And the Chinese Han's opium obsession is similarly supported by historical evidence:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK586388/

> According to official Chinese figures, about 3.5% of the total population of China and 25% population of adult men smoked opium in 1906 (UNODC, 2008). In the USA, about 0.18% of the adult population and up to 10% of people in the medical profession were addicted to opium in 1907–1908 (UNODC, 2008). In some other countries (e.g. Iran, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Canada), the proportions of opium users among the total populations were estimated to vary between 0.1% and 2.9% in 1907–1908

https://www.unodc.org/documents/wdr/WDR_2008/WDR_2008_eng_web.pdf

If you read page 214 of the file, only Perisa/Iran can be compared to China. But it still a 2.9% vs 5.4% about pervalence and 15g per capita vs 74g per capita about consumption.

@VLTRA Imitating your phrasing "Lol this guy getting mad in the comments bringing up France's wine obsession as an argument against not adding Liquor obsession to Slavs. Brother, the French had nearly 10x intake per capita with alcohol."
