Russians are spending big on travel and cognac. But the boom is just one 'last growth spurt,' says an analyst.

Maybe different definitions of alcoholism by country health depts.

Someone else asked for the whole list of consumption.

Per capita and liters are liters, a much more pure measure of reality than arbitrary definition of disorder.

One last growth spurt? Huh? When did their 12 time zones filled with everything the West needs suddenly disappear? Oil, gas, energy ,rare earths, grains, metals, coal, uranium, gold, etc, etc….

Within 20 years the Russians will control only 3 time zones. Only up to the Ural Mountains. By hook or by crook or by war. The Chinese will own all of Russia East of the Urals. All that mineral wealth you mention. Chinese masses will swarm over the sparse Russian populations East of the Urals. Half or more of those Eastern "Russians" are really non-Russian ethnics and Asiatics, who will welcome the Chinese.

A Russia will hasten the decline of the hideously "liberal world order", whose elite have tried destroy Donald Trump for the past nine years.

That's who YOU are in bed with.

The question is about alcoholism and alcohol disorders of Russian men, so that obviously is the more relevant criteria.

What are you a time traveler? It is far more likely the US breaks up and becomes just another third world nation.
