Because beer in Russia is considered a "light alcoholic" drink it is
sold alongside milk and orange juice, and anybody may buy or sell it - even
teenagers. Russian legislators are considering changing that. At the
urging of the City of Moscow, the legislature is considering labeling beer a
full-fledged alcoholic beverage, a change that would restrict where
beer can be sold and how it can be advertised. Most dramatically, to buy a beer you would have to be at least 18 years old. "Young people think beer is not alcohol, so they've been drinking it all their lives," said Vladislav
Kiselyev, a spokesman for the Moscow City Duma, which forwarded to
parliament a bill to declare beer alcoholic. "You see children drinking beer on their way to school."
Steve Marler, an Arlington, Va., homebrewer has made a 10-gallon batch of beer that includes smoked cicadas as an ingredient, and he plans to spend the next 17 years enjoying the beer.
