The hawthorn tincture is known as the pharmacy product most frequently used by drinkers in Russia [9,10]
The following statement can be agreed with: “...objection to pricing policy as a public health strategy is that heavy drinkers are likely to switch to alcohol surrogates as a substitute for legal alcohol, which it cannot afford to buy” [3]
Summary
The alcohol consumption and heavy binge drinking in Russia tend to decrease since the last decade at least [6]. The hawthorn tincture is known as the pharmacy product most frequently used by drinkers in Russia [9,10]. Some consumers purchase pharmacy tinctures not because of the low price but as they hope to obtain better quality alcohol than vodka from the shop.
