\"\"<\/a>With a stroke of the presidential pen, beer was recently reclassified as an alcoholic drink in Russia, no longer a foodstuff, and its sales are to be restricted to cut alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n

“Up to now, beer has not been considered alcohol in Russia but as a simple soft drink, like lemonade” that could be sold “anywhere and at any time,” said parliamentary deputy Viktor Zvagelsky of the ruling United Russia party.<\/p>\n

But starting January 2013 a new licensing law signed by President Dmitry Medvedev will ban beer sales from 11 pm to 8 am except in bars and cafes.<\/p>\n

The law will also prohibit selling beer in street kiosks and drinking it in public places.<\/p>\n

“Now beer will largely be regulated in the same way as other spirits,” Zvagelsky said.<\/p>\n

Healthcare professionals have praised the crackdown.<\/p>\n

“Young people are introduced (to alcohol) through beer and … switch to strong alcoholic drinks,” said Evgenia Koshkina of the National Centre for Addictions Research.<\/p>\n

Alcohol abuse kills half a million Russians a year and lowers life expectancy, which currently stands at 60 for men, lower than in countries such as Bangladesh and Honduras, according to the World Health Organisation.<\/p>\n

But Koshkina doubts the effectiveness of the new law given the high rate of alcoholism in the country, saying that “people are not accustomed to respect laws.”<\/p>\n

Kirill Bolmatov, a manager at Russia’s fifth-largest brewery, SABMiller, critised the decision to focus on beer instead of spirits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“(Easy) access to strong spirits contributes to (high) alcoholism. One litre of vodka costs about four euros (Sh520) in Russia, a very low price” unimaginable in Europe.<\/p>\n

The new law has struck fear into local brewers and foreign importers in Russia, the world’s fourth largest beer market that has seen steady growth.<\/p>\n

According to a survey by the Public Opinion Group, beer is the favourite drink of 39 percent of Russians, while 32 percent said they preferred vodka.<\/p>\n

“In street kiosks, beer sales make up nearly half of the overall profits,” said Bolmatov.<\/p>\n

The law will be “a heavy blow to small businesses and jobs,” he predicted, while it will have little effect on big brewers.<\/p>\n

“They may not see more growth, but at least they will maintain a stable volume of sales.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
