Unfortunately, I've only been to Czechoslovakia, Hungary and East Berlin, and purely as a tourist. I do have a friend who emigrated here from Russia, and I've seen this in action at get-togethers his family has invited me to: shot glasses are part of the place setting, and full bottles of vodka every other place setting. Quite a party!
