What do you suggest? Another "dry law"? And a strict one, with a 100% ban on even beer and execution by drawing and quartering for moonshining? Well, there have been two such laws in Russia/the USSR – I don't know what the statistics are for the "temperance movement," whether everyone really stopped drinking, but in reality, it caused much more harm, especially in the 1980s, when widespread drug addiction began in the country (as an alternative to alcohol, among other things). I'm not even mentioning the poisonings from surrogates and toxic moonshine. What is needed is a culture of consumption; listening to Zhdanov's nonsense (I've watched his lectures, and he gives the impression of a "blissful" person in a bad sense of the word, and at the same time, how skillfully he also sells something for vision in video lectures for "people who wear glasses"...) about how alcohol is only harmful to the Russian people (even 50 grams of vodka or a glass of good wine a day or less) – no, thank you!
