Have no idea about 160lbs (a horse ass metrics again?), but everything else is yes. Just a short note. We in Russia don't drink vodka like Americans (one bottle in 5 minutes). We do it with a lot of meal (at some celebrations like birthdays, weddings, New Year and even when someone dies) and the process may take many hours... 3... 6 or more. You may start it at 5 o'clock and finish only at 12. And every-time you eat lots of meet, steaks, soups, fried potatoes, kebabs, salads with a mayo and other high caloric food. Yes, you literally eat all that for many hours. Course you can drink a liter of vodka during the process and stay on your feet.
So when you've being told that Russians drink a lot, keep in mind that they do it with a very caloric meal and do it for many hours (not like on bottle in a few minutes). Course if they are not homeless alcoholics who drink shit and die because of methanol poisoning. You won't see anything like that in the major Russian cities like Moscow, SPB, Kazan etc:

We also have night clubs, brothels and pubs, but this ^^^ you will never see here. Maybe somewhere in the village... but these will be some drunk 50 year old tractor drivers in the mud ж)
