The misery caused by alcohol can be seen in low Men to Women Population ratios, Declining population, Alcohol related deaths and illnesses. Abandoned Children and a surge in congenital birth defects directly related to Alcohol. Including Fetal Alcohol Sydrome. Also a high divorce rate related to alcohol abuse. Will Russians voluntarily wean themselves off the bottle or continue the fall into the hell of the Vodka bottle.
