摘要

The figures prove what everyone knows: Russians drink like mad. In 2001, alcohol overdoses killed 139 people in England and Wales, but more than 40,000 Russians, in a population less than three times the size. But other official figures indicate quite the opposite: the average Briton consumed the equivalent of 8.4 litres of pure alcohol in 2001, the average Russian swallowed a mere 8.1 litres. Why the discrepancy? A mix of understated production by Russian distillers and the Russian taste for industrial alcohol or toxic moonshine could be one explanation. But the confusion about just how drink-mad Russians are is just one example of the difficulty of measuring anything in Russia these days. (Indeed, even the official data on deaths from booze poisoning are blurred: "more than 40,000" is as precise as they get.) Contradictory figures are the bane of Russian economists and sociologists and have fuelled a dispute about whether Russia is getting better or worse.
