A Ukrainian couple visited this Saturday; the guy was taken with our brandy, which is very smooth and strong (varies, can be up to ~60% normally but people make / drink even 75% - which in my opinion is best saved for rubbing massages when you're down with the cold or something)

So here's what he shared:

The Bear Has Come:
Start w/ a full beer glass. Drink half, top it with vodka. Drink half, top it with vodka. The process goes on untill you get to a full glass with vodka only. When you finish that, The Bear Has Come.

Then it's time for The Bear Has Gone:
Start with another full vodka glass. Drink half, top it with beer. Drink half of that, top it with beer again - until you get to a full glass of beer. When you finish this - The Bear Has Gone.

Then, if necessary or desired, one can continue with The Bear Has Come, etc. There have been no sightings of the bear coming twice for ANYBODY.

Cheers

If anybody is experimenting - I'd like to hear the results... (but I think I have a pretty good idea what to expect )
