I think it is a continuous trend. Some 20 years ago vodka has followed you anywhere in Russia. It was ok to have a shot at breakfast, some six shots at lunch and a half a bottle after work. A person limiting himself to that amount of booze in that order wasn’t even considered a drinker. Refusing a drink with someone was counted as an insult and if one haven’t drank at all people could think the person is gay or have some sort of terminal illness.
It is gradually changing, especially for a last decade.
I think today people around make scary eyes at you if you ‘ll order a pint of beer along your burger at Burger King before noon.

Alcohol consumption in Russia,...dropped by 6.3pc in 2014 amid ongoing political tension, the collapse in oil prices and a government crackdown on drinking. They are grasping at anything to fit their ridiculous reporting format. Oil prices? Why not just blame global warming?
