“…Косвенные российские показатели также свидетельствуют о росте потребления алкоголя. Так, во время эпидемии выросли продажи водки и ликероводочных изделий на фоне незначительных изменений продаж коньяка и вина [33,34]. Кроме того, значительно увеличилась популярность поисковых запросов в интернете на доставку алкоголя [33,34], а также количество преступлений, совершенных в состоянии алкогольного опьянения [33].…”

Aim. To analyze alcohol consumption according to the Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Regions of Russian Federation-3 (ESSE-RF3) study and compare these data with the previous two ESSE-RF sections.Material and methods. Data from following cross-sectional sections of the ESSE-RF study were used: 2013-2014, 2017, 2020-2022. At the first stage, alcohol consumption was assessed according to ESSE-RF3 data in 2020-2022, conducted during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (n=28685, 35-74 years). At the second stage, a comparison of all three sections of the ESSE-RF study was carried out (n=42043, 35-64 years). Alcohol consumption was divided into those not drinking alcohol, those drinking alcohol little or moderately (<168 g/week of pure ethanol for men, <84 g/week for women), and those drinking alcohol excessively (≥168 g/week for men and ≥84 g/week for women). Differences in qualitative parameters in groups were assessed using the Pearson χ2 test, while in quantitative parameters — the Mann-Whitney and Kruskall-Wallis tests. When comparing alcohol consumption in different ESSE-RF sections, direct standardization of samples was carried out according to the socio-demographic structure of the Russian population. Logistic and linear regression models were used to estimate the probability of alcohol consumption.Results. In the total ESSE-RF3 sample, the proportion of people not drinking alcohol, those with little/moderate and excessive alcohol consumption is 41,0, 55,6 and 3,4%, respectively. The probability of alcohol consumption and the average amount consumed varies significantly by sex, age, education level and income level. The standardized prevalence of any alcohol use (regardless of quantity) and excessive consumption decreases from 75,7 and 5,9% in 2013-2014 to 70,9 and 5,6% in 2017 and to 54,6 and 3,5% in 2020-2022. However, the average amount of ethanol consumed among alcohol drinkers is increasing.Conclusion. The changes of alcohol consumption over time in Russia are quite favorable, since both involvement in alcohol consumption and its excessive consumption decreases. However, the average amount of alcohol consumed increases, which may be due to changing cultural patterns of alcohol consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic has not altered the direction of changes in alcohol consumption by Russians.

The aim of the study is to assess alcohol consumption during the coronavirus epidemic in Russia.Materials and methods – retail sales of alcoholic beverages, which account for about 70% of the alcohol market in the country, as well as online inquiries for the delivery of illegal vodka were assessed. The assessment of changes was made on the basis of a comparison of the period March 2020-March 2021 with the average 2018–2019, and in the case of sales growth in 2018–2019 – based on average and linear regression. Internet requests for the delivery of vodka were obtained from the portals Google Trends and Yandex. The purchasing power of the population was assessed by the dynamics of the real money incomes of the population of the Russian Federation.Results – sales changes were ambiguous, both for diﬀerent drinks, and in the two waves of the epidemic. Alcohol spirits increased both in the frst (by 2.2%) and in the second half of the year (by 1.2%), despite a decrease in cognac sales due to an increase in MRP by 11.6% from January 2020. Wine sales decreased during the epidemic, but this is due to a number of administrative and legislative measures, as well as a twofold decline in production. During the epidemic, retail beer sales grew by 4.5% in the frst half of the year, and decreased by 3.4% in the second. Internet searches for the illegal delivery of vodka rose sharply at the very beginning of the epidemic (after March 22, 2020) and two weeks later reached a maximum (202.9 thousand per week; Yandex), exceeding the February level by 2.7 times. Further, the dynamics of online searches corresponded to the waves of the epidemic.Conclusions. The coronavirus epidemic was accompanied by an increase in the consumption of hard alcohol from various sources. It has been suggested that distress was the dominant factor in the growth of strong alcohol consumption during the coronavirus epidemic, despite the decline in the purchasing power of the population, especially during the second wave of the epidemic.
