The Ministry of Health has supported a bill that would ban the sale of alcoholic drinks to those who are not even in ’21.

“In many European countries and in America, childhood does not end at 18 years, and in 21 years, a person can be more thoughtfully implement their own actions, make decisions.

As reported in” Rossiyskaya Gazeta ” endorsed the initiative and Rospotrebnadzor. Office motivated by the fact that in Russia from alcohol die half a million people, among them – a lot of young people. Experts also cause terrifying statistics: in our country, about 5 million people suffering from alcoholism. And that 3.5 percent of the population. And to drink, they, of course, begin in youth. So the logic of the ban sale of alcohol to 21 years is clear.

It is not clear just how it is to implement. Experts “RG” point out that in our country the age of majority – 18 years. This means you can vote in an election authority, marry, receive an honorable duty to serve in the army. In other countries, where we have introduced an “elevated” ban on alcohol, legal age is just 21 years. It’s all made up. And then we have to change the age of majority and that drags the problem, even with the completion of military ranks. It is known that the true sobriety – is not when do not give to drink, and when it is available, but the man has been on the reel. And this is a set of programs from before the creation of educational infrastructure in the cities of healthy entertainment.
