Alcohol abuse is a problem that is being fought in different countries.
Thanks to the events held in Russia, the consumption of this drink has decreased.
Over the past 15 years, alcohol consumption in the country has decreased almost twofold. The Moscow Agency reports the details, citing Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Tatyana Golikova.
It is noted that since 2009, preventive offices and health centers have begun to appear. Work with the population has also begun.
According to Golikova, at the beginning of the journey one person could consume about 14 liters of alcohol, but now this figure has dropped to 8.
She noted that people used to smoke a lot – about 40% of the population, but now the figures have improved – less than 19%.
According to the deputy, there is still a problem with people's nutrition. They often buy pasta and granulated sugar, but they prefer fish, fruits and vegetables less.
