The last 12 years have become depressing for Russian alcohol connoisseurs - since 2006, the “consumption” rate in the Russian Federation began to fall markedly. As a result, by the end of 2018, Russia's position in the chart of the most drinking countries in the world fell to 14th position. And now lovers and connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages in the Russian Federation have leveled off their capacities with French and German “colleagues.”

Such studies were conducted by an experienced Canadian journalist Christian Brown, who for a long time actively collaborated with Russian analysts in the alcohol industry.

“Today, the average indicator of“ consumption ”in Russia is as follows: 10 liters of alcohol per person. But a few years ago, the average was five liters higher! What? Russia spotted a threat in the active consumption of alcohol? Do they know something that the whole world does not know about? ” - the Canadian journalist asks questions in his material, in the homeland of which on average there are 8 liters of alcohol per person per year.

Note that Chris attributes the decline in Russian indicators to the fact that Russia is taking active measures to combat alcoholism. For example, in Russian stores they don’t sell alcohol after eleven in the evening and actively promote a healthy lifestyle - both in big cities and in rural areas.
