Anatoly Vievsky, head of the All-Ukrainian Narcology Association and World Health Organization expert on alcohol policy, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv dedicated to the mass deaths of Ukrainians from alcohol poisoning.
“The quality of alcohol is only a fragment, but we need to talk about regime and availability,” the expert is convinced. – In the Czech Republic, after analyzing a similar situation, they banned the sale of drinks with an alcohol content of more than 20 percent. And we are in a country where 74 percent of alcohol consumed is strong alcohol. Please read what our newspapers write. They will tell you about beer alcoholism, as if there were vodka or cognac, and so on. We are being drawn into some vague discussions, instead of talking about the essence of the issue.”
