Ukraine is something of an enigma for the visitor.

Ukraine is something of an enigma for the visitor. The largest country in Europe, it remains one of the least visited, yet it has retained the rustic beauty of old-world Eastern Europe, and its place names are heavy with historical significance: Kiev, Crimea, Sevastopol, Odessa, and Chernobyl. http://books.google.com.ua/books?id=GCZHnGRn7_8C&printsec=frontcover&hl=ru&source=gbs_atb#v=onepage&q&f=false  

Don’t drink unlabeled Vodka.

Bootleg vodka has long been responsible for killing people, and modern times are no exception. If you're going to drink vodka in Ukraine, make sure the vodka has been purchased at a store and is labeled properly. Otherwise, you could unknowingly be drinking shoe polish, sawdust, or even medicinal disinfectant.

Water in Ukraine

Don’t drink the water fully applies to Ukraine and is the best advice to follow for a healthy trip. Never mind the lead pipes, dodgy sewage systems and a menagerie of gastrointestinal ailments; the water just tastes bad and will make you sick. Drink bottled or boiled water only; tea and hot drinks served in restaurants are safe. Avoid eating undercooked meat and freshwater fish, as they are known to carry worms. Accept that you will get diarrhea at some point and then you won’t be so unhappy when you do, although good hygiene such as wash your hands regularly with soap may help prevent infection. New food and new bacteria are the usual cause of diarrhea in Ukraine and the condition should last only 24 hours. Even if you are taking anti-diarrhea tablets like Imodium, be sure to drink lots of clear fluids to avoid dehydration sachets can be purchased in most pharmacies, but you can make the solution yourself with a teaspoon of salt, eight teaspoons of sugar and a liter of safe water.
