Russia
Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins' booze-fuelled adventure takes them to Russia, and the pair soon learn what it takes to fit into a society where 80 per cent of the world's vodka is consumed.

The pair taste Belgian beer, soak in a lager-filled spa, and toast the beginning of a shift with factory workers in Prague, where the price of a pint is the equivalent of 30 pence. They also try to write poetry under the influence of absinthe, and set aside a sober moment to race on Formula One racing track the Nurburgring.
