The leading countries in Europe in terms of alcohol consumption are named

Eurostat has published data on levels of alcohol dependence in EU countries. These data came out against the backdrop of another report from European experts - regarding the level of alcohol consumption in the countries of the European continent as a whole (not just the EU).

According to Eurostat, the most “drinking” EU countries, as well as the countries with the highest mortality from alcohol consumption, are Denmark (3rd place), Poland (second place) and Slovenia (the absolute “leader”). Statistics show that in Denmark the number of deaths from alcohol-related diseases is 7,3 per 100 thousand people, in Poland - 10,1, and in Slovenia - 17,1. Thus, of all the countries of the European Union, Slovenia and Poland are named the most “dying out” countries from alcoholism of the population.

In Warsaw and Ljubljana, this data was called data indicating a security threat.

Polish narcologist Przemyslaw Łukasiewicz pointed out that in Poland in the last 4-5 years the number of patients with disorders of the cardiovascular system and brain caused by excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages has increased.

The absolute leaders in alcohol consumption on the European continent are Ukraine and Moldova - countries that are so eager to join the EU. In Ukraine, the level of alcoholization of the population increased by a record 22% compared to the fall of 2022 and by almost 35% compared to 2021.

Russia is shown in 7th place on this list, although just 5 years ago our country was among the top three in alcohol consumption in Europe. The level of alcohol consumption in the Russian Federation has decreased by approximately 5% over two years. Not much, but still a decrease.

Alcoholization of the population is a serious problem for many countries. Moreover, it often concerns the younger generation of citizens. In this regard, the issue of promoting a healthy lifestyle and reducing dependence on bad habits has been and remains relevant. In different countries, the measures for implementing such tasks are different, as are the fruits of this implementation. In modern Ukraine, a significant increase in the level of alcoholization of the population also indicates that society is far from optimistic about what is happening in the country.

We are in 7th place, so let's drink to that!

I think we are still in the top three! It’s just that moonshine brewing is very developed now! And measurements are made based on official sales.

I drank illegal stuff (palenka, at the grannies) in my youth, when I started drinking with friends, at school... Now I'm afraid. I wouldn’t want to get poisoned and die so stupidly. I want to drink, I buy vodka in the store and it’s not the cheapest...

This means you are simply overpaying for glass (pretzel molding and bottle shape), cork, label design and various additives in the form of flavorings. I once talked with a technologist from a distillery and he told a simple truth - In fact, any vodka (be it 300 or 1000 rubles each) is nothing more than a 40% alcohol solution, and therefore the cheaper the vodka, the better the quality of the alcohol because . he was less subject to the manipulations of the alchemists of the producers. One benefit of expensive vodka is that you won’t drink too much of it. for 1 thousand rubles you will buy 1 bottle for 1 thousand rubles, which translated into cheap = 3 bottles for 300 rubles. Both are 40% alcohol solution.

[Msi]

Well, I don’t know... I remember from my youth that vodka is cheap or vodka is very hard to drink... it doesn’t go down your throat. And the dear one jumped in more easily... And the likelihood of throwing up from a stick or cheap vodka was higher.

Who the hell knows. I drink homemade wine. I simply retold the conversation with the technologist, which apparently offended the feelings of three vodka patriots who, angry, noted down the minuses. They say it cannot be that bottles of different prices contain the same 40% alcohol solution.

[Bolt cutter]

in bottles of different prices, there was the same alcohol solution of 40%.

Try a glass of Smirnoff for £18/liter and Ciroc for £42. You'll feel the difference straight away.

[Enceladus]

The first alcohol was okay, it was kumiss. Real... This is the first time I missed work... at that time on September 1. I grew up in Kazakhstan. Below I wrote that if you distill ordinary cheap alcohol and expensive alcohol, there is no difference. I drank 36 aged whiskey. There is no difference, only the kidneys suffer almost later. Who knows, under that oak tree from which the barrels and wood chips were made... someone defecated.

[Enceladus]

Well, that’s why I drink 4th distillation alcohol to get rid of tails and heads. Basically I make either vinshevka or imperial (I cook cherries and ginger root accordingly). Well, then let it sit for a while after diluting it for about a month. Everyone goes off with a bang. True, everyone is adequate - and when to get up, etc. - geeg... It's very easy to drink. My friend’s wife remembers 2011. All so touchable... she ended up sitting on my lap and telling me what a bunny I was. Even Pashka oigel

[Enceladus]

Just for fun, I distilled cheap vodka (which is a fantasy... well, I'm talking about Fanta + 5 lakes) and goose - in the end... I didn't notice any difference at all.

How does “Alpha” alcohol differ from highly purified alcohol or from “Basis”?

Well, why didn't we talk? And we also talked about alcohol. Some are distilled from grain, and some are boiled from potatoes.

Quote from igork735

What, what, raw materials, of course. You can look here

http://www.bolshoyvopros.ru/questions/2241907-chem-otlichaetsja-spirt-bazis-alfa-ekstra-ljuks-kakoj-luchshe.html

If you read carefully, you will probably notice that the “Lux” and “Extra” varieties are most often involved in the production of vodka, both of which are made from grains. “Basis” is almost never used, as are highly purified alcohols, and if so, then there is not much difference in the contents in bottles for 1000 and 300 rubles. I hope you are satisfied with this answer?

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Quote: Nyrobsky

Both are 40% alcohol solution.

The quality of vodka depends to a greater extent on the raw materials rather than on the purification and rectification of the alcohol. The best is rye. It contains a minimum of highly aromatic compounds.
Almost never produced, but you can find it.
Doesn't apply to expensive ones. I won't advertise.

You don't need this moonshine. Making wine is easier.
Exclusively for readers of Military Review, I reveal the secret of quick and cheap extraction of grape juice. This is the most difficult thing for amateurs, not professionals.
You buy two bags, white, like sugar bags, polypropylene bags made of tightly woven ribbons. You pour in a portion of grapes, a bucket and a half or two, and after two bags you press it in a large saucepan or basin. You can’t press through one bag, it will be pressed through, you need a double layer. If you have a large pelvis, you can even press with your feet. The juice seeps through the sides of the bags, immediately clean and ready for fermentation or canning.
You pour 5, 6 or 8 liters into plastic bottles and wait. All!
You adjust the strength by adding sugar.
You throw away the mass of branches, skins, and seeds immediately after squeezing.

[cosmonaut]

Well, why throw it away? Just add water, and you’ll get excellent moonshine)) but seriously, it’s even better than with wheat. But I’ll never do that. In my opinion, wine fermented without cake is not wine. Compote, liqueur, mash, swill .anything, but it’s no longer wine. Well, the taste and color, there are no comrades, this is just my humble opinion

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

If you need to add the taste of rotten branches and the risk of getting the bitterness of hydrocyanic acid, then yes, the garbage should be left. And such cooking methods are precisely due to the inability to squeeze pure juice.

[sedoj]

it was made from pure grain and without additives.

1 kg of yeast, 10 kg of sugar, a flask of water. After 2 and a half - 3 weeks of fermentation, switch to gas. The solution is a self-propelled bucket. Filled to the brim with fresh cow's milk. After settling the flakes, it is filtered. Colored with instant coffee, flavored with citrus peels. It is poured into containers. All. Strong, pleasant to taste, without consequences. Although... You can... break a fool.

5 kg of wheat, 5 kg of sugar. We sprouted the wheat with the addition of 05 kg of sugar, water to about two fingers above the grain... sprouted, added the remaining sugar, added 30 liters of water, and plays until it wins. About 5-6 days. and then we drive .and no milk is needed. everything is already pure. The grain can be used up to 5 times. One problem may arise. We do not live in the USSR. Nowadays they use chemicals with sugar no worse than with stick, and with grain not everything is as rosy as before ...
PS, I forgot to say. Before germination, the grain needs to be washed with water to remove dust and other bad stuff...

I didn’t drink rye moonshine. I’ll tell you about bread. I live in the south of Russia. I haven’t seen rye fields anywhere. Where there is rye, there is none. I didn’t work much at the mill. So at the mill there is production waste. It’s called flour. All my life this was used to feed livestock and pigs. Our bourgeoisie under democracy came up with the idea of ​​calling this waste rye flour. They make bread from this flour, and it is called Borodinsky rye bread. For some reason no one talks about this
I don’t know how it is in the middle zone, in the Urals, or somewhere else. I was in Moscow once in my life when I was 7 years old... I read somewhere that we grow rye somewhere in the same area. I don’t remember either about tens of thousands of centners of grain, or about a couple of hundred thousand. And this is for the whole country. I have doubts that this rye is used for vodka

you are being shamelessly deceived. As a chemist, I declare that alcohol and water form an azeotropic mixture, and you cannot get a concentration higher than 96%, even if you distill it. Only by chemical dehydration, but this is difficult and expensive.

[borisvt]

A little off topic, of course, - you really can’t get 97%, but on my device, at a temperature = cold tap water, the ASP hydrometer shows 96,6%

Well, in Moldova they generally drink wine instead of water. and also somehow especially drunk people don’t lie around the streets. Alcoholization needs to be assessed somehow differently, here they tried to attach mortality to alcoholism, here the more leftist poison in the country, the higher the mortality rate, the greater the corruption, the more opportunities to sell surrogate.

Of course, you can simply calculate the total quantity purchased using EGAIS, but the matter does not end with officially sold through the store; there is also a black market for alcohol. And the higher the excise tax on alcohol, the larger the black market.

The amount of alcohol you drink is probably an indicator, but there are not a lot of nuances around.
And so... there are fewer drunken people. Where did they go, God knows, maybe they hid in the corners, maybe the drunks were all poisoned... in general, they are less noticeable, at least in our country.

The drunks have been greatly reduced by black realtors and other crooks. It’s not possible to be homeless for a long time in our climate

You would be concerned about the fight against smoking at the front.
And also fire safety in the trench. Anything with smoking cigarettes in the wrong place.

That's right, there is no point in smoking in public places, otherwise someone might come from the "firemen" on the other side! UAVs are hovering overhead, but what if they notice?

Just 5 years ago, our country was one of the top three countries for alcohol consumption in Europe.

Why on earth? The trio was always Latvia-Lithuania-Poland (situationally, Ukraine and Southern Europe were always on their heels)... and now the sprats have simply rolled back, giving way to the Danes.
And Russia has never been higher than fifth place, as I remember...

[isv000]

Russia is shown in 7th place on this list, although just 5 years ago our country was among the top three in alcohol consumption in Europe.

Why are we on this list?! We are from the jungle, it’s their blooming garden (that’s why they have so many sadists!), so we have nothing to do on this list, we’re giving up this place to the slaves!

[cosmonaut]

well, yes, we were squeezed out... all the honored alcoholics of the USSR were driven out with a stick. What remained were amateurs and school kids. I see the young people will drink a can of beer, and they will be on their horns. weaklings

Did I understand the main message of the article correctly: in the confrontation with the West, Russia should not transport gas through pipes, but alcohol, because it is this that poses a threat to European states!?

And what ? Idea ! That's right, technically unrefined to Finka and Swedes, former alcohol tourists!

Very strange statistics, not very similar to the truth. Where is England on this list? There, alcohol lovers will put any country in their belts, but here, in the article they write, supposedly some Slovenia and Poland stole the leadership from the inhabitants of Foggy Albion))

leadership among the inhabitants of Foggy Albion

The British drink for three on holiday, but at home - much less. Expensive, and it takes work.

Nobody stole anything, the statistics are:

According to Eurostat, the most “drinking” EU countries

But the Smallshavens fled from there, so they were not counted.

Does this information have anything to do with VO? Completely lost?

[Ross xnumx]

I don’t drink and don’t crave...Since 2016, practically...I realized that drinking just doesn’t make sense. My son and wife don’t drink either... Although I drink several liters of beer in the summer...
Because of people like my family, Russia has slipped to seventh place...

The best vodka that I had to drink in my 72+ years was called “Bespokhmelnaya” and it was produced in the Kyrgyz (!) city of Karabolta at the production facilities of the Southern Hydrometallurgical Plant (those in the know understand) on equipment designed for cleaning uranium in preparation for isotope separation (!). And this was in the early 90s, when they no longer had uranium, but they had to live on something. So they mastered the production of ultra-purified vodka. The feeling she gave me was unique. After taking ~150 grams, the condition was the same as after 100 normal. But the subsequent “taking” had no effect on the degree of intoxication, regardless of the dose. And in the morning there were absolutely no traces of “use”, also despite the dose.
ps They made this vodka for about 3 years. Then the “consumables” used for filtration ran out. Well, so does the quality. It's a pity!
