The article is devoted to the study of the paremiological representation of the component "drinking" in the Russian linguistic worldview based on Russian proverbs and sayings containing the motif of alcohol consumption. The analysis shows how paremias reflect social, moral, and cultural assessments of the action "drinking" and how they shape behavioral stereotypes associated with this component. The article identifies semantic groups that reflect the consequences of alcohol abuse, the norms of moderation, and the figurative meanings associated with human condition and interpersonal relationships. The article demonstrates the role of paremias as a mirror of national mentality and a means of preserving cultural values through language.

The present study is devoted to a linguoculturological comparison of the dichotomy «individualism – conciliarity» based on the phraseological corpus of the Russian and English languages. It has been revealed that stable paremiological units function as concentrated models of ethnic worldview, fixing historically conditioned axiological priorities. Using proverbs and idioms, it is demonstrated that the Anglophone tradition is dominated by the cult of personal autonomy, self-sufficiency, and the inviolability of private space, whereas the Russian linguistic worldview represents ideas of spiritual community, mutual support, and the subordination of personal interests to collective ones. Particular attention is paid to how linguistic opposites serve as a tool for intercultural dialogue, allowing the decoding of deep mental attitudes and minimizing communication barriers in the context of globalization.
