Undisciplined, unfocused, unafraid of any military consequences. Why would they have access to vodka while heading to recruit training? Maybe liquor is still a big part of their general culture and it’s hard to keep it out.
American military used to be almost that way, where Generals would often have a bottle of whiskey in their side drawer.

The Washington Post noted there are "power outages continuing in the Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions," and others. The Post listed some of the below regions impacted by large-scale power outages and water supply disruptions:
Kyiv region: Russian strikes damaged buildings, and rescuers are searching for victims, the regional police said. Attacks left 80 percent of the capital without water and are likely to cause sustained power outages, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Kharkiv: Two strikes hit critical infrastructure facilities in the eastern city, causing problems with the water supply and affecting the public transit network, the mayor said.
Zaporizhzhia region: An infrastructure facility was struck by rockets, the local governor said, prompting warnings from officials in the southern region that energy supplies there could also be affected.
Cherkasy region: Some of the region lost power after air attacks on infrastructure facilities, the military administrator said.
Well, Russia leads the world in abortion and alcoholism. And their HIV rate is the highest of any first world nation.

DTEK—the Ukrainian energy giant that provides a significant share of the country's energy supply—is running out of equipment to fix the widespread power outages the country has experienced under fire by invading Russian forces.
On Monday, officials with Ukraine's largest privately operated energy company announced it has depleted its stores of equipment following a series of attacks on the country's energy and water infrastructure over the past month. On Monday, Russian forces deployed at least 50 missiles targeting the country's electrical grid and water supplies, leaving swaths of the country without power as winter approaches.
While DTEK Executive Director Dmytro Sakharuk said Monday the company was able to purchase some equipment to offset the losses, the cost of the equipment is "now measured in hundreds of millions of dollars," with some outages estimated to last well into Tuesday.

I fondly remember sewing up marine heads after their frequent rumbles in the 'animal house barracks. Train them to kill, then get drunk, what else can you do?
Brawling draftees has been standard operating procedure for the Russian army for decades.
