RUSSIA: President Putin sanctions beer bill
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 9 March 2005
President Putin has given his approval for Russia's law on the sale and consumption of beer.
Last year he rejected an original bill that was deemed too draconian, as it outlawed consumption of beer in public.
The new version allows consumers to drink in public but still forbids the sale of beer and beer-based products in children's educational institutions, medical organisations, on public transport and to underage children.
Beer and beer-based products containing less than 0.5% of ethyl alcohol are not covered by the bill.
