Gennady Onishchenko (what would we do without him) today at a meeting of the United Russia faction spoke out on the alcohol problem. And, I must say, the chief doctor of Russia told us a lot of interesting things: Russia is in 14th place among the countries with the highest level of alcohol consumption, we began to drink more - as much as 14 liters of pure alcohol per year per capita of a Russian. And the most interesting thing: vodka cannot cost less than 63 rubles per bottle; anything cheaper is poison. The standard Kremlin way out of all this horror has been proposed - a state monopoly on alcohol.
