How much do Russians drink?
Russia is probably one of the countries that love drinking most in the world. People can often see all kinds of jokes about fighting and drinking on the Internet. But the truth is not as funny as those jokes on the internet. When drinking becomes alcoholism, it will have a very bad influence on both individuals and the country. Russians have been keen on drinking for a long time, from the tsarist era to the Soviet era until now.

According to the statistical data of 1980, at that time, the per capita consumption of pure alcohol in the Soviet Union was 8.7 liters per year, and there were 40 million alcoholics. It was precisely because the citizens were addicted to alcohol that Gorbachev once banned alcohol during the Soviet period. However, this was an unsuccessful reform and had to come to an abrupt end at 1988.
In fact, when Russia was Kiev Russia, they didn't like drinking so much. At that time, people only drank alcohol for special needs and special occasions. At that time, before the famous vodka was born, everyone drank mead. Honey wine is more expensive, so not many people drink it. Wine culture is very popular in Russia, especially during the reign of Peter I. Peter I liked drinking very much, so he also made a special law-if a woman asks a man to go home while drinking, she will be punished.

Of course, alcoholism also has many disadvantages. Although the whole Russian nation has a good physical quality, young Russian men often die young. Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the average life expectancy of men in the Soviet Union was about 54 years old and that of women was 73 years old. This data is directly related to alcoholism.

Vodka is the most famous Russian wine. Vodka and liquor are both brewed from grains or potatoes, but vodka, unlike liquor, does not need to be sealed and aged. Usually directly distilled liquor can be sold by adding water, and the alcohol content is mostly 40~60 degrees. Vodka brewing method actually costs very low, about 20~50 rubles, but most poor people in Russia will not buy vodka at all, because the Russian government has set a high consumption tax on wine. Plus consumption tax, transportation cost and commercial profit, the lowest price of a bottle of vodka is between 200 and 250 rubles.
▲ The price of Russian vodka
Converting Russian roubles into RMB is almost equivalent to spending 25 yuan to buy 200 grams of wine. This price is simply unbearable for the poor in Russia, because they drink a lot, and a Russian who is used to drinking can drink two bottles of vodka at a time. Judging from the income of the Russian people, for the convenience of understanding, we convert it into RMB for comparison. Good college graduates earn about 3000 yuan as soon as they graduate, and ordinary workers earn 600 yuan or 700 yuan after retirement. On the basis of such income, the price of vodka is quite expensive.
And alcoholism, like other bad habits, the poorer people like drinking more. So since there is not enough money to buy real vodka, many people will look for some substitutes. For example, some shoddy wine, medical alcohol, even antifreeze, shower gel and so on. These things are all chemicals, which are extremely harmful to human body. But people who are dependent on alcohol don't care so much. Just like "Little Pink Recreation" said: "Three cups of breast-washing dirt will prolong your life, and one drunk will solve a thousand worries." They just want to get drunk.

For low-income people in Russia, bathing is the best source of alcohol. A 30 ml bottle of shower gel and shower gel costs about 25 rubles (about RMB 2.7 yuan), and a cheaper 25 ml bottle costs 5.5 rubles (about RMB 6 cents). However, this kind of bathing can lead to death. Some time ago, Russian news reported that sixty or seventy people died because of drinking a lot of this cheap bath.
In 20 16 years, nearly13.6 million bottles of various bath lotions were sold, but 90% of them were used for drinking. Why are Russians so inseparable from alcohol? Actually, there are two main reasons. The first reason is because of the climate in Russia, which is very cold in winter. Drinking alcohol can keep out the cold, but drinking too much slowly develops into alcoholism.

The second reason is that the Russian people are depressed and their living standards are low. Among the countries most prone to anxiety in the world, Russia ranks fourth, especially in some remote and harsh places in Russia, where there are fewer people with good education. Drinking is the only way to relieve anxiety.

Alcoholism has brought great harm to Russia, which not only affects the national economy and public safety, but also seriously threatens the national health. Now Russia prohibits buying alcohol after 10 in the afternoon, which is one of the ways that the Russian government is determined to take some measures to improve it.
