Considering that the average Russian probably drinks AT LEAST a pint of vodka a day, it's not a surprise that Russians wouldn't consider beer an alcoholic drink.

Alcohol is such a yucky drug: Tastes bitter like shit, has heavy secondary effects (nausea, increased urination, heartburn, etc.), it has a horrible crash (i.e. hangover), its effects last too little, it's weak especially compared to drugs with the same mechanism (e.g. benzos), it's more expensive than drugs with the same mechanism (e.g. benzos), it gives you alcohol breath, among many others.

All you have to do is watch the many videos of traffic in Russia and you it will be obvious to you that many of the drivers are drunk.

Привет всем из России,у нас сильно пили и употребляли наркотики,в 90х годах, сейчас уровень пьянства у нас в стране снизился

This was made in 2003. Would be interesting to see if it still holds today. I spend about 6 months out of every year living/working in Russia. I don't know the stats, but on the surface the Russians didn't appear like they were hitting it hard (not in my circles, anyway). I mean, every now and then I came across someone who made/drank their own cha-cha. But from my observations, even those selling cha-cha from the trunk of their cars aren't doing too well these days.

It isn't even close to the epidemic levels that peaked in the 1990s- early 2000s. Now, Finland took the new title for drunkards, but hasn't seen the same levels of mortality, because the Finns binge drink a lot, but don't drink hard daily the way the Russians were/are infamous for.

Pretty silly for a nation with such a history of vodka addiction to worry about beer. If anything maybe it will make people get less drunk.

@@jakubmaly50 Read my comment above. As someone who spends 6 months out of every year in Russia, it would be my guess that this documentary is outdated (although I admit, I don't have access to cold hard raw data). I even know several Russians who won't touch a drop - including my father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law. A lot has changed in Russia since 2003 - this doco is almost 20 years old now. The other reason I'd say I'm in a fairly good position to provide a "finger in the air" opinion about this is because I own/run a number of hotels over there. I've seen alcohol sales fall year on year (granted, the hotels I run are very family oriented). At one point, we suspected some of the staff were selling their own alcohol instead of the hotel's, but an investigation in to this showed this wasn't the case.

solution is easy. show some cases of methanol poisoning and scare people about unregistered distilleries and then pass a law requiring alcohol makers to be registered by the state, pass cleaning restrictions and make sure they have up to date licenses. next step push up the price of alcohol, whole at the same time sponsor alcohol recovery programs. if alcohol is too expensive people won't drink.

Better worry about the cheap, legal hard drug: alcohol. Physically, alcohol is as addictive as heroin, more physically damaging too, and insidious, you can buy it anywhere without having to find the right connection. It's socially accepted too, I've never had anyone question me refusing any other drug, but if you refuse a drink people look at you like you're a leper. Alcohol is more dangerous than heroin, meth or crack when you ignore black markets and legal consequences. You'd be better having a nation booked in opium than alcohol!

This is why Ukraine has kicked their arses, all the troops are drunk.

Why are Slavs generally stronger and faster than Western Europeans?

And people mock Muslims for not going near alcohol. In Islam ALLAH ALLMIGHTY forbids certain things because its bad for you, ALLAH ALLMIGHTY says everything that is forbidden is bad for you and the world in general. Their is wisdom in God's rules.

Most depressing and disturbing to see such alcoholism across an entire vast country. Painful to see so many in a stupor or struggling to walk upright. It's just one of the failures of Communism and an Orthodox Church, both joined at the hip and unable to inspire so many to transcend this debilitating addiction. Fortunately, Baha'u'llah not only forbids the use of alcohol by Baha'is in Russia and elsewhere, but He provides a vast body of transformative and uplifting Text that inspires one to wand to eschew the consumption of this poison. His Message is most appropriate for addressing this problem and so many others afflicting humanity nowadays. Problems which the earlier Religions perforce were not mandated to address the problem with the emphasis needed today.
