Alcohol will be banned in Russia over the May weekend
Another piece of news has spread online - during this period it will be prohibited not only to sell alcohol in stores, but also to serve alcohol in restaurants and cafes. This misinformation appeared on April 25 and quickly spread on social networks. A refutation has already been written on many resources, but people are still perplexed. In fact, banning sales of alcohol will not eliminate the problem of citizens who abuse alcohol, because they can purchase bottles of alcohol in advance.
Will the sale of alcohol be banned in May 2021?
Rospotrebnadzor actively discussed restrictions on the consumption of alcoholic beverages during the May holidays at one of its meetings. In particular, the dates from May 1 to May 11 were mentioned. It was planned at this time to limit the sale of alcohol not only in supermarkets, but also in local stores.
The rules for limiting the sale of alcoholic beverages also apply to liqueurs. It was these institutions that continued to sell alcohol until the very end. However, this time it will not be possible to bypass the rules.
Despite the fact that Rospotrebnadzor issued instructions, local government bodies held their meetings. The authorities were given the right to decide whether to impose a ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages or not. Thus, in different regions the purchase of alcohol will be completely or partially stopped from May 1 to May 11, 2021.
The effect of alcohol on human health
While enjoying the spring weekend, you should not forget about the harmful effects of alcohol on the body:
- Dehydration, which affects not only the internal organs, but also the appearance. For example, the skin becomes dry and swollen.
- Intoxication of the liver, which takes the brunt of ethanol processing.
- Severe hangover in the morning.
- Heart dysfunction.
Contrary to popular myth, there is no safe dose of alcohol.
ALCOHOL DETOXIFICATION
Limitation of alcohol sales
Some Russian regions decided to protect the health of the population and introduced restrictions on the sale of alcohol during the long May holidays.
Volgograd
City authorities have banned the retail sale of alcohol during cultural, entertainment, sports and other events. We are talking about all the areas where folk festivals will take place: streets, squares, parks, public gardens, ponds.
The local website V1.ru has even compiled a list of places where you can’t buy alcoholic drinks. For example, on the Alley of Heroes (near the Eternal Flame) a mass event is planned at 10:00 on April 27, but you can no longer buy alcohol there. On May 5, the “Victory Waltz” will take place, from 17:00 to 19:00. You will not be able to buy alcohol at this time. In total there are about 20 events on the list. And they will not sell alcoholic drinks to everyone.
Tuva
The authorities of Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva, have imposed a ban on the retail sale of alcohol from May 1 to May 10. And we are talking not only about heavy alcoholic drinks, but also about beer. The exception is public catering outlets that have only been advised not to sell alcoholic beverages.
The sale of alcohol at public events was strictly prohibited. You are also not allowed to bring drinks with you.
Perm region
In the Perm region the rules are not so strict. Journalists from the publication “AiF-Prikamye” were informed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Perm Territory that the ban on the sale of alcohol will be in force only on May 1 and 9. On all other days, people will be able to buy alcoholic drinks.
Mound
The Kurgan administration introduced even lighter restrictions. Alcohol can be purchased in the city on any day except May 9, from 08:00 to 23:00. This was reported by the Ura.ru agency.
Calling a doctor to your home for detoxification
What to do if a person has had a little too much during the holidays? And some people even after a minimal portion of alcoholic drinks experience a severe hangover. Alcohol poisoning is also not uncommon. In these cases, you can use the services of a narcologist.

How the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs responded to the ban on the sale of alcohol
Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that such a decision by Rospotrebnadzor is necessary on holidays. Citizens sometimes overdo it with alcohol, thereby disturbing public order.
During this period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers who will be on duty have the right to immediately send the person to a sobering-up center and impose an administrative fine. This is especially true if alcoholic beverages are consumed in public places.
That is why employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recommend that people who have been drinking not appear in public places. They should stay at home without disturbing the personal space of other citizens. The amount of fines in case of deviation from the law was not announced. However, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that it is better not to resort to extremes.
Holiday plans
On April 21, when there was no decree on the long May holidays, the job search service SuperJob conducted a survey and found out what Russians were going to do on the weekend. Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing the service, wrote that 18% of respondents will spend the weekend at home with their family. 10% will go to open the summer season.
The share of Russians planned a trip to the sea, 6% - a vacation in Crimea, 5% - in the Krasnodar Territory. Another 5% were planning to travel to different regions of Russia. Among the destinations are Baikal, Altai Territory, Karelia, Moscow, St. Petersburg. Only 4% of people planned to spend their holidays abroad.
But after the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, every fifth Russian changed his plans for the upcoming weekend. Despite the increase in holidays, people refused to go abroad and preferred to relax at home.
Only 18% of respondents said they changed their plans after the decree. For 70% of people, the routine has not changed.
Don't go on a long binge
Narcologist Oleg Stetsenko, in a conversation with 360, drew attention to the fact that now drinking alcohol is not as popular as it was several years ago. There are still addicted people - 10-15% of them - but there will always be such people, and it doesn’t matter to them whether it’s holidays or regular ones.
In my experience, now this (drinking alcohol - editor's note) is not so relevant. The last few years haven't been particularly clinical. People are drinking less
Oleg Stetsenko.
Moreover, long-term drinking bouts have become less popular. Even despite the long weekend, people have learned to balance drinking alcohol and doing more interesting things - their hobbies, part-time jobs, construction, repairs, and so on.
The Ministry of Health proposed to ban the purchase of strong alcohol under 21 years of age
In addition, the Ministry of Health uses the experience of other countries where the age for selling alcohol in general or strong alcohol was raised to 20 years or to 21 years (in the case of the USA). In Russia, the department notes, the age limit of 21 in some cases is also set as a necessary requirement. For example, only from this age can you purchase firearms with limited destruction, be elected to government bodies, or obtain a driver's license category D (for cars that carry passengers).
Now the initiative of the Ministry of Health is being assessed by a working group. As the newspaper notes, according to the established procedure, the document will then be sent for consideration by one of the government subcommittees and the commission on legislative activities of the government. The latter may decide to submit the bill to the State Duma.

The State Duma considered the idea of raising the age for selling alcohol to be unconstitutional
Society
This is not the first time the Ministry of Health has come up with such an initiative. In May 2019, the ministry already presented a bill proposing to ban the sale of alcohol with an ethyl alcohol content of more than 16.5% to those under the age of 21. Deputy Minister of Health Oleg Salagay then said that the initiative was supported by about 70% of the Russian population.
However, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development opposed it. The Ministry of Finance considered that the measure would be ineffective. The Ministry of Economic Development warned that it would seriously limit the work of stores, slow down the speed of customer service and contribute to the growth of the shadow market for alcoholic beverages.
In the spring of 2020, the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation, Pavel Krasheninnikov, also stated that raising the age for the sale of alcohol is contrary to the Constitution and the Civil Code. He recalled that, according to these two documents, in Russia the general level of legal capacity begins at the age of 18. When a citizen reaches 21 years of age, the deputy added, neither new rights nor obligations arise, with the exception of passive suffrage.
