That is totally true then. Cause when I was in Shakhty water was about 30 rubles a bottle. I didn't buy beer so I didn't know it was cheaper.

you can never be to high!!!!!!!!!!

As an addicted, you'll never stop smoking just because some labels warning you about risks.

Everyone knows that all even without those labels, but people are stil beginning to smoke. As long as you feel healthy, you dont care about the risks, and when you get sick, its to late.(I stopped to smoke years ago, just because i hated to be addicted to something and to pay for my own death, but those labels did not help me)

There's warning labels on cigarette packages, but people still smoke. They WANT to die then let them.
