Under alcoholic drinks everyone understands something of their own. For some, alcohol is a strong drink, such as brandy or vodka. For others, alcohol is considered a cocktail or beer.

Drinking alcoholic beverages means taking one or another product containing ethyl alcohol in different proportions. Alcohol is divided into strong and light. Strong drinks include those types of drinks that have a large number of degrees. The lungs include beer and various factory cocktails. In any case, strict control has been established for any alcohol and legislation in the field of circulation of such products is applied.
Drinking is understood as single or mass consumption of products that contain alcohol.
The Law on the Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages regulates the rules of trade and defines the places where you can or cannot drink alcohol.

One of the measures, which is designed to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed, has become a rather controversial restriction on sales. Now alcohol of any kind (even weak) cannot be bought from 21-23 to 8 in the morning. Each region sets the first digit independently. For example, alcohol sales in Moscow, incl. and beer stops at 11 pm, and in the Moscow region - at 9.
