Водка с пивом. Ерофеев Венедикт «Москва - Петушки»

Description:

The narrator reflects on the simple act of drinking vodka, the triviality of mixing it with cologne, and the restless youth that seems unaware of life's mysteries. He recalls a reckless experiment of drinking three and a half liters of beer in one go on a Thursday night, hoping to wake up on Friday, only to find himself waking on Saturday under a railway embankment near Naro‑Fominsk. He then struggles to piece together the events, moving from contemplation to abstraction, and ultimately realizes where Friday had gone. The story is a raw, introspective account of youthful daring and the consequences of excess.
