Of course vodka is not only Russian. Still I think there is special stereotype of celebration of vodka in Russia some Poles don't want to be associated with.

Personally I like more 70% tincture based on 95% alcohol than vodka which tastes like shit. I made by yourself, recently for example with cranberries, honey.
