A little translation (last third) to help the joke along:
There's no more Moskovskaya (vodka) or table vodka, not for a while. This is Russia, they've replaced it with a knockoff.
[but at least they have State Wine] ?
With every year it's better to be alive. One can even save up [double entendre: 'drink away'] money if you leave some of the vodka for the morning.
Because vodka (citizen-bros, let's give up vodka from now on, starting today)
Oh how great it is to be sober in the morning (Honestly, citizens).
It's like with Hamlet: to drink or not to drink, that is the question.
Oh vodka, we can't forget you.
