With alcohol, is there anything that is more famous than beer? It comes in all shapes and sizes as well as strengths and tastes, and everybody knows that drinking too much of it is going to lead to all kinds of problems for you.
But it hasn’t always been like that, especially if you lived in Russia.
Rather surprisingly, the Russians only began to see beer as an alcoholic drink since 2011. Before that, it was classified as a soft drink along with the likes of Coke. It makes you wonder how on earth it could take so long for this decision to be made, but then if they don’t see beer as being alcohol, how strong does something need to be before it can be classified as such?
