Citizens!  Surely nobody in their right minds is going to drink
kvas now that it is no longer absolutely necessary to be drunk
every night?  Or am I wrong is it more necessary now than ever?

(When I was a kid our Russian teacher at school told us that the
kvas tankers were full of kgb prisoners being moved from prison
to prison.  Made me worry about what the hell people were drinking
from them).

Apologies for complete irrelevance to sci.lang.
