Alcohol in Russia

And all this despite the fact that in Russia alcohol leads to the death of half a million people every year.
According to statistics, about 80% of crimes in the Russian Federation are committed in a drunken stupor. Children lose their parents and end up in an orphanage also most often due to the fact that the latter drink almost without a hitch.
