This could serve as a warning any time of year, but especially during this Holiday Season, when so many are out having a good time and imbibing. But if it’s not too, uumm, ethnocentric of us to say, this seems to happen so much more in Russia than just about any where else. Or is it the Russian penchant of late for capturing every aspect of their lives on video … oh, wait, that’s us too, isn’t it?

OK, well let’s get back to the point. And that as this hysterical video above, in which a group of people are apparently having a very nice little early evening picnic beside the Volga River. In addition to what ever they may have been cooking in the makeshift grill littering the riverside, they are quenching their thirst quite liberally.

Certainly, most of have had one too many at some point in our lives. And when that occurs, it is always a good idea to have “a designated driver.” You know, that one person who remains sober and capable of properly operating the motor vehicle you came in, and need to get home in. In this case, it appears to be a green SUV of some sort. That same sober person is also the guy or gal who will put an end to any craziness you may later regret.

Well, that person was not present the day this video was made next to the Volga River. As a matter of fact, it seems as if the driver of the SUV, who you would hope was the sober one, was in fact the most intoxicated. Watch what follows.
