Elder Lister
The slavic word for water is woda.. pronounced voda..
Slavic countries include.. though not limited to.. Most of white Russia, Poland, czech Republic, Slovakia.. these languages are closely related..
It also happens that they are located in a place with so called continental european climate.. hot summers very cold winters.
Summer lasts just about 3months..then kuna autumn which is not necessarily cold but is unpleasant weather.. alafu winter mostly mild but with spells if bitterly cold days if not weeks..
Wódka
In slavic languages.. the diminutive form of word is usually.. done by ending the word with... ka.. eg..normal Karolina.. small Karolinka.. so normal water is woda.. pronounced voda.. small water is wodka.. or vodka..

"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". initial bible translators to Russian did this verse some disservice by translating literally. Up to recently, Russian bibles had this verse translated as "The Vodka is good but the meat is rotten".
