Trends in alcohol consumption in Russia 1994-2004
Mittwoch 24. November 2010 von htm
Conclusions: Sudden economic decline in late 1990s Russia was associated with a sharp, temporary fall in heavy drinking, and a gradual and persistent increase in home distilled spirit consumption, with the latter more common amongst disadvantaged groups. The correlation between heavy drinking and national mortality in lower educated men is interesting, but the timing of RLMS surveys late in the calendar year, and the absence of any correlation between drinking and the subsequent year’s mortality, makes these data hard to interpret conclusively. Potential study limitations include difficulty in measuring multiple beverages consumed per occasion, and not specifically recording „surrogate“ (non-beverage) alcohols.
