USA has age restrictions. Alcohol prices aren’t as cheap. Even our commercials can’t show people actually drinking the product. Yet alcohol is a problem in the USA.
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.
Alcohol and tobacco are legacies of communism. And Putin does not defend the life of the Russian people: Carlsberg, Heineken, Budweiser, British American Tobacco, Philip Morris International, Japan Tobacco International.
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.
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.
A differance of drinking a nice cold beer on a hot summers day or sharing a brewsky with friends for enjoyment and drinking just to get drunk! An alkoholic is an alkoholic no matter what they drink.
How can anyone still defend the stance that weed is worse than booze …. I bet if we lived in a society where weed was legal and booze illegal …. The world would be a better happier, friendlier place

Most of them long for death as they've not been able to figure a way out of their dilemma.

I worked with two expat Russians years ago.Great guys,but one smelled like a distillery on the job half the work week.And no,I didn't snitch.He took a bus to and from work.The other admitted he loved his Voddy,but just occasionally.Seems people in colder,northern climates drink more.Regardless of the quality of life,even.Alaska,Maine,Finland,et al.And Russia in the winter,fecking hell.
Not gonna lie, while I haven't touched the stuff in a long time now, because I just can't any longer, I LOVE vodka. It's basically getting very high, very quick. I'm too weak to manage it well so I just have to abstain. That stuff can ruin you.
Do some research and think again. Russia is not in the first place in alcohol consumption per capita. And it’s very funny how they put it in this video regarding beer… Germany, Ireland, Czech Republic are beer nations, not Russia 😂
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.
Some would spend everything they had for drink.Families of alcoholic heads of the house would even go without food.How about alcoholic family and neighbors stealing from you for 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!
@@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.
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.
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.
Religion is a drug on its own, we are all born free without any bullshit, or in a bad circumstances, family or lack of will form/corrupt us in some way. For some parents Islam is the way, for some its alcoholism for some its hockey,,, We learn from our parents, by how they live and so on.

"It's not an alcoholic drink, it's a soft drink"
This was epic.
A Lithuanian man I know laughs when I tell him I only drink beer and yet it is not just a soft drink as the cops will attest on the weekends
Maybe it's your breath

Beer gets you wrecked though 😂
@@j.c7719 Russians are used to drinking necks of vodka, so to them drinking beer is probably like drinking Sprite.
So sad. The people have had such a dreadful time. For centuries.

The “choice” between sodas and alcohol is a false choice. 😢 Neither product enhances human health. 😢😢😢
at least with soda you will not get impotence and you will not pee your brains out in toilet
I feel very lucky that I totally dislike alcohol - I always did, even as a teenager
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.
The US tried something similar nearly 100 years ago and it made the problem worse. Americans didn't like being told what they could and could not do.

Yes, the amount of alcohol consumed by average Russian has decreased a lot.

Yeah i had a taste of it in my teens many moons ago and didn't like it and it's caused so many deaths over the years yet people think its just fun..
And its boring af!

A differance of drinking a nice cold beer on a hot summers day or sharing a brewsky with friends for enjoyment and drinking just to get drunk!
An alkoholic is an alkoholic no matter what they drink.
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.
Exactly..They think switching ALCOHOL to ALCOHOL will fix the problem?? What a sad mentality to even think that..SMH
It's still alcohol
