Major drop in Russian alcohol consumption revealed.
Boozing has almost halved compared to 13 years ago, health ministry data reveals.

Alcohol consumption in Russia has decreased by nearly 43% since 2008, Russian Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko announced on Saturday, as the country celebrated National Sobriety Day.

An average Russian drank 15.7 liters of booze annually 13 years ago but, last year, this marker stood at only nine liters, Murashko said.

Only 15.7 liters per year back in 2009??? That's nothing, only 43ml per day, a mere 1.5oz, one measly shot. I guess the Russian study counted every single person in Russia, from babies to old babushkas.
