What are polish weddings like?
Discussion
Just seen this. I'd echo many of the previous comments.
I went to a friend's wedding in southern Poland in June. It was one of the best weddings I've been to. Went over 2 days but what a fantastic time. Quite a few of us were concerned about the amount of vodka to be drunk, but it was no cause for concern.
Essentially there is so much food that you reach a happy level on vodka and stay there. Then you dance, eat, more vodka, repeat! So unless you're really gunning it, you never become too drunk. The hospitality was wonderful and all-in-all, I'd go back in a shot. 10/10.

I went to my brother's wedding in Czestochowa last year. There was an insane amount of vodka.
The younger ones all down a shot and then down a soft drink. Beware of the older ones - there was a table I wasn't allowed near unless my brother was with me
I can't remember when we started or stopped but I do know it was great fun

Only been to one and that involved huge quantities of vodka and huge quantities of food and lots and lots of dancing.
My tip is to go for a spacer drink every 2-3 shots and stay well away from polish beer.
I went to a Romanian wedding at the weekend which was very similar in format, but I made the mistake of sitting next to the Russian father in law, never ever try and match a russian drink for drink. Apparently the entire village and every village in a 50 mile radius know about how he killed a Englishman with palinca and had to carry him to bed after passing out in the vegetable patch.
